Communication is big here so make sure they have good communications skills.

Partner with engineering and product teams to define scalable, maintainable microservices architecture using domain-driven design and distributed systems principles.

Design and implement event-driven architectures with Apache Kafka (or similar), including asynchronous messaging, event sourcing, sagas, schema management, and service integration.

Define architecture for mobile and backend integration, including data modeling, offline synchronization, conflict resolution, BFF patterns, and API design.

Standardize containerization with Docker across development, staging, and production environments.

Deploy and manage applications on Kubernetes to ensure scalability, resilience, and high availability.

Design and deploy cloud-native solutions on AWS using services such as EKS, EC2, S3, RDS/ Aurora, Lambda, and API Gateway.

Implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or AWS CDK/CloudFormation to automate provisioning and support GitOps.

Establish best practices for security, resilience, observability, and operational excellence across microservices and event-driven systems.

Ensure architectures meet security, compliance, and HIPAA requirements through encryption, access controls, audit logging, and secure configurations.

Prototype and validate architectural solutions through spikes and proof of concepts to reduce risk and align with business goals.

Lead architecture reviews, threat modeling, and code reviews to ensure architectural standards, performance, and security.

Create and maintain architectural documentation, including ADRs, C4 diagrams, data flow diagrams, runbooks, and technical guidance.

Collaborate closely with other internal stakeholders to ensure alignment on technical strategies, roadmaps, and objectives.

Contribute to technology evaluations, tool selection, and the ongoing evolution of the platform toward well-structured, domain-drive, and event-driven microservices.

Support onboarding and enablement of engineering teams on architectural patters, tools, and standards adopted by the platform. Design and evolve complex, distributed software systems, ensuring they are scalable, secure, and alligned with the company's strategic goals.
