- Design and oversee integrations between APIs, applications, databases, cloud services, and external platforms.
- Make and support technical decisions across software architecture, backend and frontend development, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps.
- Investigate complex technical challenges, identify root causes, and guide teams toward effective and sustainable solutions.
- Apply architectural principles including Clean Architecture, SOLID, Design Patterns, modularization, resilience, and distributed-system design.
- Define integration patterns covering synchronous and asynchronous communication, messaging, events, queues, webhooks, authentication, API versioning, retries, timeouts, and idempotency.
- Create and maintain technical documentation, architecture diagrams, solution specifications, and other engineering artifacts.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to developers while supporting architecture reviews and implementation decisions.
- Consider system dependencies, risks, scalability, performance, and downstream impacts when making architecture and modernization decisions.
- Collaborate effectively with technical teams, clients, and international stakeholders throughout solution design and implementation.
Requirements:
- Strong professional experience in software architecture and software development, ideally within complex corporate or enterprise environments.
- Solid understanding of Clean Architecture, SOLID principles, Design Patterns, modularization, APIs, resilience, and distributed systems.
- Strong practical experience with Microsoft Azure, particularly services such as App Service, Azure Functions, Container Apps or AKS, Storage, Azure SQL, Key Vault, Service Bus, Event Grid, API Management, Monitor/Application Insights, and Entra ID.

- Strong knowledge of REST APIs and integration architectures, including synchronous and asynchronous integrations, messaging, events, queues, webhooks, authentication, API versioning, retry mechanisms, timeouts, and idempotency.
- Experience with backend development, relational and non-relational databases, caching, asynchronous processing, performance optimization, and scalable system design.
- Knowledge of Docker, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, observability, logging, metrics, tracing, monitoring, and deployment/rollback strategies.
- Ability to maintain an end-to-end technical vision, understanding dependencies and potential impacts across interconnected systems.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with the confidence to investigate complex technical issues and make sound architectural decisions.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to developers, clients, and international stakeholders.
- Comfortable working in a senior, hands-on role that combines strategic architecture with practical implementation.
- Fluent English is required.
Benefits:
- Opportunity to work on complex software architecture, cloud modernization, and Azure transformation initiatives.
- Senior-level exposure across architecture, development, integrations, cloud, and DevOps.
- Opportunity to collaborate with international technical teams, clients, and stakeholders.
- Strong scope for technical ownership and influence over architecture and modernization decisions.
- Exposure to modern Azure cloud services, distributed systems, integration patterns, DevOps, and observability practices.
- Opportunity to contribute to challenging enterprise technology projects while expanding cloud and architecture expertise.
- The role is based in Brazil, with the working model and specific employment benefits to be confirmed by the partner company.
- Compensation and any additional benefits will be discussed directly during the hiring process.
