Role description
As a Senior Software Architect, you’ll play a pivotal role in executing the technical vision behind our SaaS-based IoT platform. This is a hands-on leadership role that blends architectural oversight with direct contributions to key systems. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams and company leadership to ensure our architecture remains robust, secure, and aligned with a clear technical roadmap.
You won’t just guide from the sidelines — you’ll actively design, prototype, and build core backend components, ensuring our architecture not only looks great on paper but performs at scale in production.
Drive the implementation and evolution of our cloud-native, multi-tenant SaaS architecture, following a defined technical strategy
Collaborate directly with leadership to keep architectural decisions aligned with product milestones and business goals
Take a hands-on role in developing key backend services and infrastructure, primarily in Python (FastAPI), with optional use of Rust (Rocket, Axum)
Provide architectural guidance while actively contributing to backend development
Champion system reliability, observability, and modern infrastructure-as-code standards across AWS and Azure environments
Embed security and data integrity principles deeply into every architectural decision — industrial data security is non-negotiable
Work closely with DevOps and product teams to implement robust infrastructure and integration across cloud and edge
What you bring
5+ years in software architecture with proven hands-on contributions to production-grade systems
Deep expertise in backend development with Python and FastAPI, plus experience or interest in Rust (Rocket, Axum)
Solid track record designing scalable microservices, modern CI/CD, and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
Practical experience with AWS and/or Azure, deploying resilient cloud infrastructure
Strong understanding of data pipelines, real-time stream processing, and distributed systems
Bonus: Knowledge of edge computing, IoT protocols (MQTT, AMQP) or industrial automation contexts
Confident communicator who collaborates across teams and reports clearly to senior stakeholders
A builder’s mindset: you thrive on delivering robust, maintainable components hands-on
