We are looking for a Solution Architect to act as the technical authority across a portfolio of digital products on a shared TypeScript/Node.js stack and AWS platform. You will govern architecture decisions, lead security and resilience improvements, and align teams and stakeholders on technical direction. Apply to help shape scalable, secure systems.
Responsibilities
- Assess and document current architecture across the product portfolio, highlighting gaps, risks, and improvement opportunities
- Validate architecture decisions across delivery pods to ensure consistency with portfolio-wide standards
- Own and drive the security remediation backlog, including authentication, authorization, injection risks, secrets handling, and endpoint exposure
- Lead resilience hardening by defining and rolling out reliability patterns such as retries, circuit breakers, dead-letter queues, and dependency health checks
- Drive cloud account separation and restrict non-production access to reduce blast radius and improve governance
- Provide technical oversight for infrastructure-as-code practices and promote consistent, secure Terraform patterns
- Guide CI/CD improvements with security scanning and delivery metrics instrumentation
- Advise on event streaming reliability patterns for Kafka-based consumer services
- Run architecture walkthroughs during onboarding and act as the primary technical escalation point across pods
- Communicate architecture trade-offs clearly and tailor messages to different stakeholder groups
- Contribute to engineering standards, ADRs, and runbook documentation
- Mentor pod leads on architecture decision-making and technical risk assessment
- Use AI coding assistants for spikes, code generation, and security pattern implementation, and review AI output for correctness and security
Requirements
- 2+ years of solution architecture experience in distributed systems on Amazon Web Services
- Hands-on experience with Content Management Systems
- Strong stakeholder management skills to align engineering and product leadership
- Solid project leadership skills across multiple delivery teams or pods
- Advanced cloud security knowledge covering IAM, secrets management, and vulnerability remediation
- Strong infrastructure-as-code knowledge using Terraform
- Strong resilience engineering skills with retries, circuit breakers, and queue-based patterns
- Strong documentation skills for ADRs, standards, and runbooks
- Upper-Intermediate English proficiency (B2)
- Strong communication skills to explain trade-offs to technical and non-technical audiences
Nice to have
- Experience with AI coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q, or Claude Code
- Experience designing systems that include AI/ML components or LLM-based workflows
- Experience with Kafka-based consumer services and reliability patterns
- Experience with Next.js and NestJS stacks
- Experience with observability tooling such as Datadog
