[Hiring] Microservices Architect @Bright Vision Technologies

Role Description

We are seeking a seasoned Microservices Architect to lead the design and evolution of large-scale microservices ecosystems built on modern container platforms and cloud-native technology stacks. The role requires deep expertise in:

• Service decomposition
• Domain-driven design
• Distributed data management
• Runtime concerns such as resilience, observability, and security at scale

The ideal candidate brings hands-on architectural leadership across complex transformations, with a clear point of view on:

• When microservices are the right answer
• How to evolve them safely
• How to keep the resulting estate maintainable over the long term

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related discipline
• Eight or more years of software engineering experience, with several years in architecture roles
• Deep expertise in microservices design, domain-driven design, and distributed systems patterns
• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes, container orchestration, and service mesh technologies
• Proficiency in at least one major backend language such as Java, Go, or C#
• Strong understanding of API design, event-driven architectures, and asynchronous messaging
• Experience operating high-traffic, latency-sensitive systems in production
• Strong knowledge of cloud platforms and managed services across at least one major provider
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Demonstrated ability to lead architecture initiatives spanning multiple teams

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
• Full-time, direct W2 employment
• Long-term, multi-year engagement aligned to the Bright Vision SOW delivery roadmap
