Senior Developer / Architect responsible for designing and implementing cloud-native applications with a focus on backend development, NoSQL databases (particularly MongoDB), and DevOps integration. The role involves building scalable, secure, and high-performance systems on AWS while establishing and maintaining architectural best practices across teams.

This position serves as a key technical leader, providing hands-on guidance in cloud architecture, CI/CD pipeline design, and application reliability.

This role requires strong technical depth, problem-solving ability, and leadership skills to influence architectural decisions, mentor developers, and ensure delivery excellence across cloud-based and mobile application environments.

Your future duties and responsibilities:

. Design and implement microservice-based architectures that are scalable, maintainable, and observable.

. Define and guide teams on API contracts, communication protocols, and data flow between services.

. Provide strong leadership and guidance on backend development and performance optimization (Golang preferred; strong experience in another modern language acceptable).

. Design and review authentication and authorization flows using OAuth2.0 / OpenID Connect.

. Architect solutions using asynchronous messaging patterns leveraging RabbitMQ, Kafka, or similar.

. Design effective caching strategies using Redis / ElastiCache for high-performance systems.

. Select and optimize NoSQL databases (MongoDB, DynamoDB, or Cassandra) for scalability and data modeling.

. Collaborate with Cloud/DevOps teams to ensure seamless deployment, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure scalability.

. Participate in architecture review boards, technical design discussions, and POC development.

. Conduct code reviews and mentor senior developers on architectural best practices.

. Continuously evolve the system architecture based on new technology trends and business needs.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role:

. 10+ years of overall software development experience, with 5+ years as an application or solution architect.

. Proven experience designing microservices-based applications at scale.

. Golang experience is an advantage. Candidates with extensive experience in another modern language (e.g., Java, Node.js, or Python) and a willingness to learn & Go immediately are welcome.

. Hands-on with API design (REST/gRPC), API Gateway, and versioning best practices.

. Deep understanding of OAuth2.0 / OpenID Connect, including token-based authentication and authorization.

. Experience with message brokers: RabbitMQ, Kafka, SQS, or NATS.

. Proficiency in caching mechanisms and data persistence strategies (Redis, ElastiCache, NoSQL).

. Experience in containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes) and CI/CD pipelines.

. Familiarity with AWS services (EKS, Lambda, DynamoDB, CloudWatch, etc.) is a plus.

Excellent communication, leadership, and mentoring abilities.
