Location: 100% Remote

Duration: Long Term

This position is 100% Remote

Key Responsibilities

1. Architecture & Modernization:

• Contribute to the architectural roadmap focused on re-platforming legacy systems to modern, scalable microservices.
• Design and document distributed system patterns using .NET Aspire, .NET Core, Angular 19, and Azure Native Services.
• Assist in defining target state architecture, migration strategies, and modernization priorities in close alignment with senior technical leadership.
• Promote Clean Architecture principles, CQRS, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Test Driven Development, and high-availability system design.
• Collaborate on the target state architecture and lead modernization efforts of legacy on- premise applications (hosted on IIS) to Azure cloud-native services.
• Create documentation, diagrams, and implementation guides to support the engineering organization.

2. Cloud-Native Platform Development:

• Help architect systems for deployment on Azure using Container Apps, App Services, Service Bus, Azure Functions, Key Vault, API Management, Containerization and more.
• Guide the development of cloud-native APIs that are secure, discoverable, resilient, and version-controlled.
• Implement caching, observability, and async processing patterns using Redis and Azure- native tools.

3. Globalization, Multi-Tenant & API Strategy:

• Support the design of a multi-tenant, multi-product, and multi-language platform that meets regulatory, localization, and customization requirements across regions.
• Contribute to the delivery of APIs that power omni-channel experiences across web, mobile, chatbots and partner integrations.
• Ensure platform flexibility to enable easy enablement/disablement of features based on region, partner, or product needs.
• Design APIs as products, built for external consumption, discoverability (Swagger/OpenAPI/Scalar), and maintainability.

4.Engineering Collaboration & Enablement:

• Work closely with software engineering teams to implement architectural patterns, coding standards, and shared services.
• Participate in architecture reviews, solution design workshops, and hands-on prototyping as needed.
• Provide technical mentorship and documentation to accelerate the team's adoption of modernization goals.

5. Cloudflare Integration & Security:

• Design and implement Cloudflare for global DNS management, API protections, anti- bot mechanisms, rate-limiting, caching, and web application firewall (WAF) rules.
• Ensure performance optimization and global resiliency through edge network configurations.
• Collaborate with security teams to integrate Cloudflare protections as part of the platform's defense-in-depth strategy.

6. Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Partner with engineering teams to ensure seamless implementation of architectural patterns and modernization goals.
• Participate in design reviews, solution validation, prototyping, and mentoring of development teams.
• Work closely with Product Managers and UX/UI designers to ensure technical feasibility and alignment with business goals.

7. Frontend Architecture & Modern Web Frameworks:

• Provide architectural direction and best practices for modern Single Page Applications (SPAs) with deep expertise in Angular (v15+).
• Lead the design and implementation of micro-frontend architectures that enable modular, scalable, and independently deployable UI components.
• Partner with UX/UI teams to ensure accessibility, localization, and seamless user experience across multi-platform channels.

8. Database Modernization & Performance Optimization:

• Lead the modernization of legacy databases to support distributed, cloud-native architectures.
• Collaborate with developers and DBAs on database schema design, modeling, normalization, and partitioning strategies for scalable data access.
• Drive performance tuning practices including indexing, query optimization, and workload analysis for high-throughput scenarios.
• Establish best practices around database source control, including automation of schema deployments through pipelines, and versioning strategies using tools like SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), Flyway, or Liquibase.

Required Qualifications:

• 8+ years of software development experience, with at least 3+ years in architecture or technical leadership roles.
• Deep expertise in .NET Core (8/9 preferred) and experience in architecting microservices.
• Strong background in Azure ecosystem: Azure Container Apps, App Services, Functions, Service Bus, Application Insights, API Management, and DevOps pipelines.
• Experience building distributed systems with modern patterns like event-driven architecture, message queues, and async communication.
• Understanding of modern DevOps practices, infrastructure-as-code (YAML, Bicep/Terraform), and automated testing.
• Experience modernizing on-prem application stack to cloud
• Strong background in Docker containerization

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in financial services or payments platforms (e.g., fin-tech, payment processing, payment gateway, money transfer, KYC, AML).
• Familiarity with global-ready architectures including i18n, regional compliance, and
• multi-currency handling.
• Knowledge of Datadog or other APM/observability tools.
• Bilingual (Spanish preferred) to support regional collaboration and documentation needs.
