Role: Solutions Architect Project Background: ~ This role combines hands-on technical leadership with solution architecture accountability. The successful candidate will work directly with developers, lead developers, product stakeholders, and platform teams to shape end-to-end solutions, validate design choices, troubleshoot complex delivery issues, and make practical engineering decisions that balance speed, quality, scalability, resilience, and enterprise standards.

Leadership: Has led large highly performant teams through complex technical delivery lifecycle. Own and guide solution design from business requirement through application architecture, API contracts, data flows, integration patterns, deployment model, observability, operational support, and production readiness.

Senior Stakeholder Management: Demonstrated ability to manage senior stakeholders, set expectations and be fully accountable for delivery success Ensure quality of output: Ensure highest quality and consistent code output from the team, performs code reviews and thinks from a pattern-oriented manner. Work alongside lead developers to make code design, framework, integration, error handling, security, data modelling, and non-functional requirement decisions during delivery rather than only producing high-level design documents. Design, develop, review, and maintain high-performance Node.js applications and microservices on AWS infrastructure AWS Solution Architecture: Design, justify, and implement serverless and event-driven solutions using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB, CloudWatch, IAM, and CI/CD pipeline patterns, ensuring the architecture is scalable, resilient, secure, observable, and supportable in production.

API Integration: Lead the design and implementation of API-level integrations between services, systems, and third-party platforms with a focus on scalability and reliability Database Design: Design and optimize DynamoDB schemas for high-performance applications,



including effective partitioning and index strategies Code and design quality: Define coding standards, review critical implementation choices, enforce reusable patterns, challenge unnecessary complexity, and ensure the codebase aligns with the approved solution design, security expectations, test strategy, and long-term maintainability goals.

Performance Optimization: Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, optimize Lambda execution, and reduce costs through efficient resource utilization Technical troubleshooting: Lead investigation and resolution of complex design, integration, performance, deployment, and production issues by reading logs, reviewing code, tracing event flows, isolating root causes, and making clear remediation decisions with the development team.

Pipeline and workplace design: Partner with DevOps engineers to define CI/CD pipeline configurations, deployment gates, infrastructure-as-code structure, environment promotion strategy, monitoring, logging, rollback approach, and release readiness controls. Create comprehensive technical documentation for APIs, architecture decisions, and operational procedures. Guide and mentor junior developers on AWS best practices and Node.js development patterns.

Experience Level: 8+ years of professional software development experience with at least 3+ years focused on Node.js Proven experience designing end-to-end solutions across application architecture, API design, integration patterns, data persistence, cloud services, security controls, observability, deployment pipelines, and production support. Ability to explain architecture options, trade-offs, risks,



assumptions, sequencing, and delivery impacts to senior stakeholders, product owners, developers, platform teams, and governance reviewers. Node.js Expertise: Strong proficiency in Node.js with production experience in Express.js, NestJS, or similar frameworks AI SDLC: Advocate and possess an expert ability to prompt tools for development efficiency, these tools include GitHub CoPilot and Claude Code.

AWS Proficiency: Demonstrated expertise with the following AWS services: AWS Lambda: Building and optimizing serverless functions, understanding cold starts, and managing execution context SNS (Simple Notification Service): Building publish-subscribe architectures, topic management, and message filtering Hands-on experience designing, implementing, and consuming APIs at scale with proficiency in REST architectural patterns, GraphQL (preferred), and API security Database Design: Strong understanding of NoSQL database concepts and experience with DynamoDB or similar document/key-value stores Asynchronous Programming: Deep knowledge of asynchronous patterns, callbacks, promises, async/await, and event-driven programming Version Control: Proficiency with Git and collaborative development workflows Testing: Experience with unit testing, integration testing, and test frameworks (Jest, Mocha, etc.) AWS Certifications: AWS Certified Developer Associate or Solutions Architect certification TypeScript: Experience developing with TypeScript for type-safe applications Docker and ECS/Fargate experience for containerized deployments Infrastructure as Code: Experience with CloudFormation, AWS SAM, or Terraform Monitoring & Logging: Proficiency with CloudWatch, X-Ray, and logging solutions Implementation and optimization of GraphQL APIs Agile Methodologies: Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments Active participation in Node.js or AWS-related open-source projects Multi-Region Deployments:
