Job Description
Key Responsibilities:
Lead the architectural design, development, and optimization of backend systems and APIs that support digital channels, including web and mobile experiences.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions leveraging modern integration patterns (such as API gateways).
Establish and enforce architectural principles, standards, and best practices in line with enterprise and cloud-first strategies.
Drive the adoption of reusable patterns and components to accelerate the development and promote consistency across digital platforms.
Ensure backend tools and services are resilient, observable, and support non-functional requirements such as security, performance, scalability, and high availability.
Integrate with key platforms, including authentication systems (e.g., ForgeRock), content management systems, analytics tools, and personalization engines.
Guide teams on effective use of tracing, logging, and monitoring to support a resilient and high-quality customer journey.
Participate in governance processes to ensure compliance with architecture standards and alignment with business goals.
Mentor developers and engineers on backend technologies, design patterns, and emerging technologies relevant to the digital landscape.
Collaborate closely with enterprise architects and other stakeholders to ensure alignment with broader technology strategies and roadmaps.
Required Qualifications:
I have deep expertise in designing and implementing APIs (REST, GraphQL), microservices, and integration layers (e.g., Apigee Hybrid).
Experience with authentication and authorization frameworks (OAuth, ForgeRock, and Apigee preferred). Cloud-native architecture and modern DevOps practices.
Strong understanding of non-functional requirements, including security, scalability, monitoring, and automation. Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and guide teams toward best practices.
