Job Description

Our team is working on an exciting project for the B2B Payments Industry (Fraud Detection Applications). We are seeking an experienced Cloud Application Architect with deep technical expertise in application design and development (preferably Java or Golang/GO) to drive architectural direction and hands-on implementation. While experience in the Financial services industry is nice to have, strong technical expertise is the primary requirement.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and develop cloud-native applications (preferably Java or Golang/GO) with high performance, scalability, and security.
• Define application architecture blueprints, reusable patterns, and best practices for cloud deployment and integration.
• Collaborate closely with product owners, business stakeholders, and development teams to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Lead the adoption of modern architectural practices such as microservices, API-driven design, and event-driven architecture.
• Oversee code reviews, CI/CD pipeline improvements, and cloud infrastructure integration to ensure efficient delivery.
• Troubleshoot complex system issues, optimize performance, and ensure reliability and fault tolerance in distributed environments.
• Mentor development teams and guide them on architectural decisions, frameworks, and DevOps best practices.
• Stay current with emerging cloud and Java ecosystem technologies and recommend adoption strategies.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in designing and developing enterprise-grade Java applications.
• Deep expertise in Core Java, Spring Framework/Spring Boot, and REST API design.
• Proven experience architecting microservices-based applications and deploying them on cloud platforms (AWS or Azure).
• Strong understanding of cloud-native principles (containers, orchestration, scalability, and monitoring).
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control systems (Git), and DevOps tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps).
• Strong background in SQL and relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle); familiarity with NoSQL systems is a plus.
• Knowledge of security, compliance, and performance tuning in cloud environments.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
