***Only qualified Technical Architect candidates located near Plano, TX to be considered due to the position requiring an onsite presence. ***
Role & Responsibilities:
1. Architecture & System Design

• Design using modern architectural patterns (layered, microservices, event driven, CQRS, SOA) and understand when not to use each.
• Lead API design efforts (REST, GraphQL, gRPC), ensuring versioning, backward compatibility, and consistent contract design.
• Model domains effectively using bounded contexts, aggregates, and clean ownership principles.
• Design integrations using messaging, pub/sub, streaming, workflows, and anti corruption layers.
• Own non functional design including scalability, resiliency, observability, maintainability, and multi tenant considerations.
2. Technical Fundamentals
• Drive data architecture decisions across relational, NoSQL, and time-series databases.
• Apply distributed system practices including retries, circuit breakers, timeouts, and consistency models.
• Contribute to cloud (Azure/AWS) and infrastructure design: containers, orchestration, networking, IaC, DNS, CDN, load balancing.

• Define test strategy across units, integration, contract, and E2E layers.

• Communicate effectively with engineering teams, executives, product, and security stakeholders.
• Align cross-team architecture with reference designs, reusable platforms, and governance models.

• Plan migrations, assess risk, and lead spikes/POCs to mitigate uncertainty.
5. Documentation & Visualization
• Create clear architecture diagrams using C4, sequence diagrams, and data flow diagrams.
• Write architecture narratives explaining “why,” tradeoffs, constraints, and operational models.
• Produce runbooks covering operations, failure modes, and on-call procedures.
6. Technology Awareness Experience with or understanding of:
