Role summary
Own the architecture for a Microsoft stack (.NET, React/TypeScript, SQL Server) while we modernize a monolith and migrate to Azure. Split time ~50/50 between hands-on delivery (PoCs, firefighting, building new apps/AI features) and architectural leadership (roadmaps, patterns, guardrails). Report to the Head of Engineering; partner with Product and Infra/Sec; present/defend decisions at the ARB.
- A pragmatic modernization roadmap and execution plan that reduces brittleness and aligns to best practices.
- First services carved out (where it makes sense) using DDD-informed boundaries; measurable reduction in blast radius for changes.
- Azure-first baseline: containerized workloads (Terraform), platform guardrails (Key Vault, Entra ID, RBAC, private endpoints), and golden paths for new apps.
- AI leverage in production: internal RAG patterns and dev productivity via GitHub Copilot/VS Code, Cursor, ChatGPT; shipped AI-backed features/workflows.
- Reference implementations (PoCs prod) demonstrating eventing, APIs, observability, and SDLC quality gates.
Day-to-day
- Pair with teams to design & build: APIs, services, data flows, and AI integrations.
- Lead strangler-fig migrations, anti-corruption layers, and safe decomposition of shared DBs.
- Spin up PoCs quickly; convert to production-ready templates.
- Set guardrails: API standards, versioning, BFF/API Gateway, message contracts, retries/idempotency.
- Firefight smartly: diagnose incidents, drive root cause, and leave behind improved reliability/observability.
- Coach dev leads; run design reviews; contribute to code where it moves the needle.
Target architecture & stack
- Azure: Container Apps/AKS or App Service, Functions, API Management, Service BEvent Grid, Key Vault, App Config, Front Door, App Insights/Monitor, Private Endpoints.
- App: .NET (C#), React/TypeScript, SQL Server (toward per-service DB where justified), Redis.
- Patterns: DDD, microservices where it fits, outbox/CQRS (where warranted), BFF/API Gateway, event-driven integration.
- AI: Internal RAG, Azure OpenAI (or equivalent), Cognitive Search/vector store; productivity via Copilot/Cursor/ChatGPT.
- DevEx: Azure DevOps (Repos/Pipelines/Artifacts), Checkmarx gates, SBOM/SCA, Terraform for infra.
