United States onlyBright Vision Technologies is a software development company seeking a Microservices Architect to lead the design and evolution of large-scale microservices ecosystems. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in microservices design, domain-driven design, and distributed systems patterns.
Requirements
- Define microservices architecture standards, service boundaries, and decomposition strategies aligned with domain-driven design principles.
- Lead the modernization of legacy monoliths into well-bounded, independently deployable services with clear ownership.
- Design service communication patterns leveraging REST, gRPC, asynchronous messaging, and event streaming as appropriate.
- Establish API contracts, schema governance, and versioning strategies that enable safe evolution of services over time.
- Architect resilient distributed systems incorporating circuit breakers, retries, bulkheads, and graceful degradation patterns.
- Define data ownership models, transactional boundaries, and patterns such as outbox, saga, and CQRS where appropriate.
- Lead the design of platform capabilities including service mesh, API gateway, identity propagation, and shared observability.
- Drive performance engineering, capacity planning, and scalability analysis across critical service domains.
- Establish CI/CD, testing, and deployment standards optimized for high-frequency, low-risk service releases.
- Define observability standards including structured logging, distributed tracing, and SLO-driven monitoring.
- Collaborate with security teams to ensure zero-trust principles, secrets management, and runtime protection are embedded.
- Mentor engineers and tech leads on microservices best practices and anti-pattern avoidance.
- Lead architecture reviews and provide guidance on service design proposals across multiple teams.
- Continuously evaluate emerging cloud-native technologies for adoption based on maturity and strategic fit.
Benefits
- Competitive base salary commensurate with experience, plus benefits.
