• Stay up to date on existing and state‑of‑the‑art technologies, cloud deployments, microservice development, and conduct POCs to evaluate technology fits for customer needs.
• Optimize for performance, cost, and sustainability in cloud deployments.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• 10+ years (5+ in architecture) of experience in software development and architecture, with a focus on cloud‑based solutions and microservices.
• Expertise in modern patterns (microservices, event‑driven), API design, leveraging AI.
• Excellent cross‑team communication and stakeholder leadership.
• Proven experience leading and mentoring development teams in an Agile environment.
• Proven experience owning end‑to‑end solution delivery, including design, implementation, and post‑release operational accountability for medium‑to‑large projects.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross‑functional teams and stakeholders.
• Strong problem‑solving skills; the ability to think creatively and strategically to identify and address complex technical challenges under pressure while communicating clearly and professionally with both customers and internal sales teams.
