Technical Architect

Requirements:

Experience in Web Application Development:

• Front-end:

  Expertise in modern front-end frameworks such as React and Angular. Deep understanding of the component-based architecture, state management, client-side routing, and optimization techniques like lazy loading and server-side rendering (SSR) to improve user experience.

• Back-end:

  Experience in building RESTful APIs and back-end services using technologies like Node.js and Java. Understanding of multi-threading, concurrency, and asynchronous programming to ensure efficient handling of requests and responses.

Architecture Design:

• Microservices Architecture:

  Expertise in designing and implementing microservices to promote modularity, scalability, and flexibility. You should understand how to decouple services to enable independent deployment, horizontal scaling, and resilience.

• Monolithic vs. Microservices:

  Knowledge of when to apply a monolithic architecture versus microservices and how to migrate legacy applications to microservices-based systems without disruption.

• Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA):

  Ability to design systems that are loosely coupled, leveraging well-defined APIs to communicate between services.

System Integration:

• Experience in integrating web applications with external services such as third-party APIs, authentication systems (e.g., OAuth, SAML), and payment gateways. API Gateway: Experience with API gateway tools (e.g., Kong, AWS API Gateway) for managing API requests and responses.
• Message Brokers Event-Driven Systems: Understanding of message brokers like RabbitMQ and Apache Kafka to enable real-time, asynchronous communication between services in an event-driven architecture.

Cloud Architecture:

• Cloud-Native Design:

  Proficiency in architecting applications that are scalable and optimized for cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. This includes selecting the appropriate storage solutions (e.g., S3, Blob Storage), computing services (e.g., Lambda, EC2), and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes).

• Serverless Architectures:

  Expertise in designing serverless applications for cost optimization, scalability, and efficient use of cloud resources.

Design Patterns Best Practices:

• Familiarity with architectural and software design patterns such as MVC (Model-View-Controller), and Event Sourcing.
• Application of SOLID principles, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and Twelve-Factor App principles to ensure code quality, maintainability, and scalability.

Performance Optimization:

• Load Balancing:

  Experience with load balancing techniques to distribute traffic across multiple servers for reliability and scalability.

• Caching Strategies:

  Implementation of caching mechanisms (e.g., Redis, Memcached) to reduce latency and improve response times for high-traffic applications.

• Database Optimization:

  Proficiency in optimizing database queries (SQL and NoSQL) and database indexing to ensure quick data retrieval and smooth application performance.
