Job ID: JOB_ID_2980
Role Overview:
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Technical Architect to join our direct client’s team. This role is crucial for translating complex business requirements into robust, scalable, and secure technical architectures. You will be instrumental in designing modern solutions, leading API strategies, and ensuring the delivery of high-quality, maintainable software systems. This is a hybrid role based in Plano, TX, offering a 12+ month engagement.
Key Responsibilities:
- Architecture & System Design: Translate business requirements into clear technical architecture and quality attributes (performance, availability, cost, security). Design using modern architectural patterns (layered, microservices, event-driven, CQRS, SOA) and understand when not to use each. Lead API design efforts (REST, GraphQL, gRPC), ensuring versioning, backward compatibility, and consistent contract design. Model domains effectively using bounded contexts, aggregates, and clean ownership principles. Design integrations using messaging, pub/sub, streaming, workflows, and anti-corruption layers. Own non-functional design including scalability, resiliency, observability, maintainability, and multi-tenant considerations.
- Technical Fundamentals: Drive data architecture decisions across relational, NoSQL, and time-series databases. Apply distributed system practices including retries, circuit breakers, timeouts, and consistency models. Contribute to cloud (Azure/AWS) and infrastructure design: containers, orchestration, networking, IaC, DNS, CDN, load balancing. Ensure secure system design using OAuth2/OIDC, secrets management, encryption, and threat modeling. Lead performance engineering work: profiling, capacity planning, backpressure, queue sizing, and SLO-driven tuning.
- Delivery & Engineering Excellence: Shape CI/CD strategy: pipelines, blue/green & canary releases, trunk-based development, artifact/versioning rules. Define test strategy across units, integration, contract, and E2E layers. Establish best observability practices (logs, metrics, traces, correlation IDs, dashboards). Lead reliability practices such as SLO/SLI definition, error budgets, chaos engineering, and graceful degradation.
- Leadership & Influence: Drive technical decision-making using tradeoff analysis and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). Communicate effectively with engineering teams, executives, product, and security stakeholders. Align cross-team architecture with reference designs, reusable platforms, and governance models. Mentor engineers to elevate design and implementation quality. Plan migrations, assess risk, and lead spikes/POCs to mitigate uncertainty.
- Documentation & Visualization: Create clear architecture diagrams using C4, sequence diagrams, and data flow diagrams. Write architecture narratives explaining why, tradeoffs, constraints, and operational models. Produce runbooks covering operations, failure modes, and on-call procedures.
Technology Awareness:
- Experience with or understanding of: API gateways, service mesh patterns, Caching & messaging systems (e.g., Redis, Kafka/RabbitMQ patterns), Identity providers & OIDC integration, Observability stacks and OpenTelemetry.
