[Hiring] Staff Software Architect @AB InBev | Growth Group

Role Description

Lead the system design and hands-on delivery of a data-intensive web product on Microsoft Azure. You own how the application is shaped end to end — services, APIs, the Next.js layer, integrations, security, and how it behaves under load.

• This role is defined by two things: designing the system and shipping a performant application.
• You write the code for the most critical paths and own them from design through production.
• Design how the product queries, processes, and presents large volumes of data — modeling, SQL performance, caching, pagination, aggregation, search, and asynchronous processing.
• Ship dashboards, reports, and data exploration on top of existing data platforms.
• Choose and document the system shape (modular monolith, microservices, synchronous, or event-driven) against performance, consistency, security, cost, and operational complexity.
• Set standards for authentication and authorization, observability, automated testing, code review, and continuous delivery.
• Partner with the teams that own ingestion, pipelines, and the data platform.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or another quantitative field. A master's degree or PhD is a plus.
• Experience as a Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer, Software Architect, or equivalent, designing and shipping large-scale, high-performance web applications and backend systems.
• Proven system design at production scale: service boundaries, data flow, consistency, failure modes, and the ability to defend those choices with trade-offs.
• Deep, hands-on Java, plus Go and/or Python where they fit the problem.
• TypeScript, React, and Next.js, enough to shape and contribute to the web application.
• Microsoft Azure in production, API and integration design, and distributed systems (queues, events, idempotency, consistency, resilience, and fault tolerance).
• Strong SQL, data modeling, and query optimization, plus NoSQL, caching, and search.
• Automated testing, CI/CD, containers, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, and production diagnosis with logs, metrics, and traces.
• Plus: Analytics or BI products, conversational interfaces, multi-tenant systems, Domain-Driven Design, feature flags, and progressive delivery.

Requirements

• You combine architectural judgment with implementation and stay close to the code.
• You treat system design and performance as first-class product work, not afterthoughts.
• You make pragmatic trade-offs and choose the simpler design when it is enough.
• You explain risks, decisions, and limits clearly to technical and business audiences.
• You raise the team’s quality through example, review, and collaboration, including when requirements are incomplete.
