Java Architect

We are looking for a seasoned Java Architect to design, govern, and deliver scalable, resilient, and observable enterprise solutions using microservices, cloud-native platforms, event-driven architecture (Kafka), and modern observability frameworks (OpenTelemetry). The role requires strong technical leadership and close collaboration across business, engineering, and platform teams.

Key Responsibilities


Architecture & Solution Design
• Define end-to-end solution architectures for enterprise-scale systems using microservices, cloud-native, and event-driven patterns
• Design architectures aligned with Domain-Driven Design (DDD), CQRS, and event sourcing, where applicable
• Produce architecture artifacts including HLDs, LLDs, architecture decision records (ADRs), and target-state roadmaps
• Ensure alignment with enterprise architecture principles, security, scalability, and compliance standards

Microservices, Kafka & Event-Driven Architecture
• rchitect microservices using synchronous and asynchronous communication models
• Design and govern event-driven architectures leveraging Apache Kafka
• Define Kafka-based patterns for:
o Event streaming and data pipelines
o synchronous integration between services
o Exactly-once / at-least-once delivery semantics
o Schema management (Avro / Protobuf / Schema Registry)
• Establish best practices for topic design, partitioning, consumer groups, error handling, and replay strategies
• Guide teams on migrating from point-to-point and batch integrations to Kafka-based streaming solutions

Cloud & Platform Engineering
• rchitect cloud-native solutions on AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Design systems using managed cloud services (e.g., managed Kafka, container platforms, API gateways)
• Drive adoption of containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Define CI/CD pipelines, DevSecOps practices, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, ARM, CloudFormation)
• Optimize architectures for cost, performance, reliability, and operational simplicity

Observability & OpenTelemetry
• Define enterprise-wide observability strategy using OpenTelemetry
• Standardize distributed tracing, metrics, and logging across microservices
• rchitect observability pipelines integrating OpenTelemetry with monitoring and APM platforms
• Ensure systems are designed with high observability, diagnosability, and SRE best practices
• Enable proactive monitoring, alerting, and root-cause analysis for complex distributed systems

Integration & Enterprise Systems
• Design integrations with legacy systems, COTS products, and enterprise platforms
• Define API strategies using REST, event-based APIs, and streaming integrations
• Ensure data consistency, reliability, and transactional integrity across enterprise systems
• Support large-scale monolith-to-microservices modernization programs

Non-Functional Requirements & Governance
• Deep understanding of Web Security , RABC and IAM.
• Define and enforce performance, scalability, availability, security, and resiliency requirements
• Incorporate fault tolerance patterns: circuit breakers, retries, bulkheads, and backpressure
• Perform architecture reviews, risk analysis, and design governance
• Ensure compliance with industry and regulatory standards (GDPR, ISO, SOC2, etc.)
