Architect FullStack

Define scalable application, API, and cloud infrastructure designs; set technical standards; and guide a cross-functional team through an initial architecture sprint to validate approach and delivery.

Responsibilities

Own solution architecture across frontend, backend, data, and cloud infrastructure; Translate retail needs (catalog, pricing, inventory, orders, payments, promotions, loyalty, search) into modular designs; Define API strategy and standards (REST/GraphQL, versioning, auth, SLAs, documentation); Produce reference architecture, ADRs, HLD/LLD, and target-state roadmaps; Establish CI/CD, IaC, observability, security, and cost optimization practices; Lead discovery, spikes, and a vertical-slice POC; Conduct architecture/code reviews; mentor engineers; partner with Product/UX; Ensure resilience and compliance (PCI considerations, backups/DR, multi-region)

Requirements

Full-stack architecture with hands-on execution; Python and Django (including Django REST Framework); API design and implementation (REST/GraphQL, OpenAPI, OAuth2/OIDC); Application architecture: modular monoliths/microservices, event-driven patterns, caching, messaging; Infrastructure design: AWS/Azure/GCP, Docker/Kubernetes, Terraform/CloudFormation, CI/CD; Databases: PostgreSQL/MySQL, Redis; strong schema design and performance tuning; Observability: logging, metrics, tracing (e.g., ELK/OpenSearch, Prometheus/Grafana); Security: secure coding, secrets management, encryption, threat modeling, compliance awareness; Performance, scalability, and cost optimization for retail workloads; 8–12+ years in software engineering; 3+ years as a solution/enterprise architect; Delivered high-scale, high-availability platforms and APIs; Led cross-functional teams; influenced standards and roadmaps; B.E/B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science or related technical degree OR Equivalent

Nice to have

Retail/e-commerce domain experience; Frontend frameworks (React/Vue/Angular) and admin tooling; Mobile/web app patterns (React Native/Flutter); Messaging (Kafka/RabbitMQ/SQS), event sourcing, CQRS; Search (Elasticsearch/OpenSearch), recommendations/ML integration; Multi-tenant design, multi-region deployments, edge/CDN strategies
