  • Premium compensation package designed for top-tier technology leaders.

About Our Client

An innovative organization at the forefront of India's digital ecosystem, leveraging cutting-edge technology to create high-impact solutions at national scale.

Job Description

  • Lead the architecture and design of large-scale, distributed, cloud-native platforms and core network services.
  • Define API standards, event-driven architectures, integration patterns, and platform governance frameworks.
  • Build highly scalable, resilient, and secure systems with a strong focus on performance, availability, and reliability.
  • Architect and optimize multi-cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP using Kubernetes and Infrastructure-as-Code.
  • Drive platform engineering initiatives, including CI/CD, automation, self-service tooling, and developer experience.
  • Establish observability best practices through logging, monitoring, tracing, and performance telemetry.
  • Own infrastructure scalability, capacity planning, disaster recovery, and business continuity strategies.
  • Lead security-by-design initiatives, including zero-trust architecture, identity management, and compliance controls.
  • Define architectural standards, reusable frameworks, and technology blueprints to accelerate engineering delivery.
  • Mentor engineering teams, lead design reviews, and influence long-term technology strategy and platform evolution.

The Successful Applicant

We're looking for someone who has:

  • 10+ years in software engineering, with at least 4 years architecting platforms or shared services used by many teams - and still writing code today.
  • Proven track record designing and operating high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems in production; you can reason about consistency vs. availability, idempotency, backpressure, eventual consistency, and cascading failure in the same conversation.
  • Deep API and systems design judgment across REST, gRPC, and event-driven architectures, including versioning and contract evolution for consumers you do not control.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes, containers, and at least one major cloud (AWS / GCP / Azure), plus infrastructure as code and modern delivery practice.
  • Production experience with log-based brokers (Kafka or similar), relational stores (PostgreSQL or similar), caching layers, and the distributed-computing foundations underneath them.
  • Demonstrated platform thinking - a history of turning repeated one-off needs into reusable building blocks that teams actually chose to adopt.
  • Observability and operability literacy - you instrument before you ship, and you have owned the dashboards that page someone at 2 a.m.
  • Fluency with agent-assisted software development as a working practice, with clear judgment on when to use it and when not to - and a track record of moving a team in that direction.
  • Excellent written communication. You can write an RFC that settles an argument and influence without authority across internal teams and external participants.
  • Comfortable working in-office in Delhi NCR with a hands-on engineering team
