Job Description

We are looking for a Hands-On Software Architect to join our architecture group and work alongside some of the most experienced engineers in the industry.

As a Hands-On Architect, you will actively design, build, and evolve large-scale software systems, set technical direction, and work day-to-day with development teams, product, and other stakeholders to deliver reliable, scalable solutions.

Your focus will be to champion Foundry Projects born in the CTO office. Imagine shaping the architecture of multiple 'internal startups,' aligning them with the Armis ecosystem while charting a strategic path to production. You will balance the urgency of moving fast with the foresight to build 'right and smart,' ensuring these innovations are ready to scale the moment they hit our core environment.

What You’ll Do

Lead the design and implementation of complex, distributed software systems in production.
Work closely with developers, product owners, and stakeholders to translate business needs into practical, scalable architectures.
Define and drive engineering standards: architecture patterns, coding standards, testing strategies, and operational best practices.
Stay hands-on: write code, review code, and participate in technical problem-solving across teams.
Mentor and coach developers and tech leads, raising the overall technical bar.
Review designs and implementations to ensure solutions are high-quality, maintainable, and resilient.
Continuously evaluate new technologies and approaches, recommending improvements where they provide clear value.
Be involved in production systems: deployments, observability, performance tuning, and incident analysis

Qualifications

8+ years of experience in software development, system design, and architecture roles.
Strong hands-on experience with modern backend technologies such as Java and/or Python.
Practical experience with containerized and cloud-native systems (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS / Azure / GCP).
Experience designing and operating distributed systems, including messaging or streaming platforms (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, Spark).
Solid understanding of distributed databases (and non-distributed) such as Postgres, Cassandra, SingleStore, Clikhouse or similar technologies.
Deep knowledge of engineering best practices: CI/CD, DevOps, testing, security, and agile development.
Proven experience working with production environments, including deployment pipelines, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to balance ideal architecture with real-world constraints.
Natural technical leadership: able to influence, mentor, and collaborate without relying on authority.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively across teams.
B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
