Platform Architect

Delhi Permanent View Job Description
Looking for Platform Architect with a passion for designing and operating large-scale distributed systems. Hands-on 10+ years of experience in low latency distributed systems, cloud-native platforms, Kubernetes, APIs, event-driven architecture, and multi-cloud environments.
  • Digital infrastructure with billions of entities, transaction, & services.
  • Architect systems operating at National scale

About Our Client

A mission-driven organization that is building and scaling a nationwide digital commerce ecosystem, enabling seamless connectivity between businesses, service providers, and consumers across India.

Job Description

  • Own the end-to-end architecture of core services - registry, gateway, protocol handling, identity and credentialing, catalog and search paths, and the reusable shared services .
  • Set the contracts: API and event design (REST, gRPC, event-driven), versioning and backward-compatibility policy, idempotency and retry semantics, and the failure modes an open network has to survive.
  • Design for the properties that matter at this scale - p99 latency budgets, multi-tenancy and noisy-neighbour isolation, rate limiting at the edge, graceful degradation, and provable SLAs.
  • Act as the technical gate on build-vs-reuse-vs-consolidate: decide what belongs in an existing platform versus what is genuinely a new service, and stop duplication before it ships.

The Successful Applicant

We're looking for someone who has:

  • 10+ years in software engineering with strong architecture experience
  • Expertise in low latency distributed systems, APIs, microservices, and event-driven architectures
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, containers, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure)
  • Strong understanding of platform engineering, developer platforms, observability, and infrastructure as code
  • Experience building scalable, resilient, high-throughput systems in production environments
  • Ability to influence engineering direction through architecture, RFCs, and technical leadership

What's on Offer

  • Challenging and meaningful work in the not-for-profit sector.
  • This role is ideal for architects who still enjoy building, solving complex engineering challenges, and shaping platforms that have a broad ecosystem impact.
