The architecture team at Actian works side-by-side with the development team. We are looking for a Software Architect to design the structure of our cloud platform and make it efficient, easy to extend, maintain and operate.
We need a proactive professional who ensures the product meets three key conditions: it must be stable (it doesn't crash when failures happen), efficient (it doesn't skyrocket cloud costs), and easy to use for our own developers . Your goal is to eliminate technical complexity and set the rules of the game so developers can ship new features fast and without errors.
Core Responsibilities:
-
Cloud Platform Design: Design and improve the cloud structure (AWS, Azure, or GCP) of our data platform, ensuring it works well for many clients at the same time.
-
Stability & Fault Tolerance: Build a system ready for failures, capable of recovering automatically and keeping things running if there are issues in production.
-
Making Life Easy for Developers: Create clear APIs, templates, and common tools so internal developers can write code faster and with fewer mistakes.
-
Cloud Cost Control: Monitor and optimize the use of cloud servers and tools (like Kubernetes) to keep the product cost-effective to run.
-
Improving Legacy Code: Identify parts of the system that have become outdated and plan how to improve them step-by-step without stopping daily work.
-
Technical Guidance & Standards: Review team designs and define the company's technical standards, helping to resolve questions without becoming a bottleneck.
-
Security by Design: Ensure the platform's structure inherently protects customer data and complies with security rules from the very beginning.
-
System Monitoring: Decide how we measure platform performance so that if something fails, we know exactly what happened within a few minutes.
-
Testing New Technologies: Build quick prototypes and test new tools before deciding whether to adopt them company-wide.
Qualifications & Profile:
-
Technical Background: Proven experience as a Software Architect or Principal Engineer working with cloud SaaS products and systems handling large volumes of data.
-
Key Tools: Real-world experience with microservices, containers (Docker, Kubernetes), messaging systems
-
Proactive Mindset: You don't wait to be told what to do; you look for where the system might fail or where we are overspending, and you propose solutions.
-
Developer-Focused: You care about your fellow developers working comfortably and without frustrations using the tools you design.
-
Communication: Excellent English skills (written and spoken) to explain complex technical problems simply to both developers and executives.
What We Offer:
- The chance to be part of an innovative, fast-growing company making a significant impact in the data management space.
- Collaboration with a passionate and diverse team.
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- Flexible work arrangements (remote or hybrid).
- Opportunities for professional growth and development.
