Job description

Job Title: Java Solution Architect
Duration: 12 Months
 
Work: Remote
 
Summary:
We are seeking an experienced Solution Architect with strong expertise in Node.js, Java, and AWS to design and deliver scalable, secure, and high-performing solutions. The primary focus of this role is to architect notification platforms (multi-channel messaging: email, SMS, push, in-app) and centralized configuration services that support enterprise-scale, cloud-native applications. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of architecting distributed systems, guide engineering teams, and ensuring alignment with enterprise standards and business needs.
 
Key Responsibilities
Architect and oversee the development of notification services leveraging AWS SNS/SES, Firebase, Twilio, or equivalent platforms.
Design and implement configuration services (Spring Cloud Config, AWS AppConfig, Consul, Kubernetes ConfigMaps/Secrets) to enable dynamic, centralized config management across distributed systems.
Define standards and patterns for API-driven, microservices-based architectures using Node.js and Java (Spring Boot, Spring Cloud).
Ensure solutions align with security best practices (OAuth2, JWT, SSO, encryption, API gateways).
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate notification/configuration platforms with broader enterprise applications.
Provide architectural guidance on event-driven systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS Event Bridge) for messaging and async workflows.
Define observability practices for monitoring, logging, and alerting (Datadog, Prometheus, ELK).
Partner with DevOps to design CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform/CloudFormation).
Conduct design reviews, scalability assessments, and performance benchmarking.
Mentor development teams on Node.js, Java, and architecture best practices.
 
Required Qualifications
8+ years in software development/architecture, with at least 3+ years as a Solution Architect.
Strong expertise in Node.js (Express/Nest) and Java (Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Hibernate/JPA).
Proven experience in designing and implementing notification services (email, SMS, push, in-app).
Hands-on experience with configuration management frameworks (Spring Cloud Config, AWS AppConfig, Consul, Kubernetes ConfigMaps/Secrets).
Cloud expertise with AWS services: API Gateway, Lambda, ECS/EKS, RDS, DynamoDB, SQS/SNS, SES, AppConfig.
Strong knowledge of API and microservices architectures (REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket's).
Proficiency in event-driven and asynchronous patterns (Kafka, RabbitMQ, Event Bridge).
Familiarity with CI/CD and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
Solid database knowledge: SQL (PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB).
Excellent leadership, collaboration, and communication skills.
 
Preferred Qualifications
Cloud certification (AWS Solutions Architect or equivalent).
Experience with developer portals and API management platforms (Apigee, Kong, MuleSoft, AWS API Gateway).
Familiarity with observability tools (Prometheus, Datadog, ELK, Splunk).
Exposure to large-scale, distributed enterprise systems.
