The Role - Principal Software Architect

As a Principal Software Architect at EOS Worldwide, you will play a key role in guiding and supporting the development team, specifically focusing on our EOS One platform. In this "agile architecture" role, you'll provide architectural direction and mentorship rather than defining rigid, predetermined solutions. Working closely with backend engineers, front-end developers, product managers, and QA, you will ensure that our technical solutions are scalable, robust, and aligned with best practices while adapting flexibly to evolving business requirements. This position emphasizes a hands-on, collaborative approach, where you will frequently work with the team, lead technical discussions, and help refine our agile processes to ensure continuous improvement.

This position will report directly to the Director of Software Engineering.

Job Duties and Responsibilities:

Architectural Guidance: Provide hands-on architectural guidance, helping the development team design, develop, and optimize backend and API solutions for the EOS One platform. Maintain a balance between immediate development needs and long-term technical strategy.

Agile Collaboration: Act as a technical leader and mentor in agile processes, working closely with developers to ensure that architectural decisions are aligned with agile principles and support iterative, incremental development.

Design Patterns and Best Practices: Advocate for best practices in software design, including the use of relevant design patterns (such as CQRS, event-driven architecture, and microservices where appropriate). Assist the team in implementing scalable and maintainable solutions.

Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate with product, frontend, and QA teams to ensure that technical decisions enhance the user experience and meet functional requirements. Facilitate open communication and knowledge-sharing across the team.

Technical Debt and Refactoring: Support the team in identifying, prioritizing, and addressing technical debt and enablers. Promote a culture of continuous improvement, where code quality, maintainability, and security are prioritized in every sprint.

Documentation and Knowledge Sharing: Foster an environment of learning and knowledge sharing, where architectural insights, design decisions, and technical challenges are openly documented and discussed.

Distributed System Design: Experience with distributed system design principles, including fault tolerance, consistency, and load balancing.

Security in Software Architecture: Strong understanding of secure software design and experience implementing security best practices throughout the development lifecycle.

Observability and Monitoring: Knowledge of observability practices, including logging, monitoring, and distributed tracing, to ensure high availability and quick resolution of production issues.
