Dear Candidate,

 

We @ Calsoft Inc. are urgently looking for a Tech Solution Architect – Developer Experience Platform for one of our Direct Client.

 

Position: Tech Solution Architect – Developer Experience Platform

Location: Portland, Oregon

Overview

We are seeking a Solution Architect to lead the architecture and technical direction of our Developer Experience Platform, which includes a unified Developer Portal, Virtual Test Environments (ARM & x86), and integration with CI/CD pipelines.

This role requires working closely with the customer’s architecture group, aligning on design decisions, and acting as a technical product owner for a team of 15–20 developers. The Solution Architect will balance strategic oversight and hands-on leadership, ensuring the platform meets scalability, security, performance, and virtualization requirements.

 

Key Responsibilities:

Architecture & Governance

  • Define and maintain the solution architecture across Dev Portal backend, CI/CD flows, infrastructure, and virtual environments.
  • Collaborate with the customer’s enterprise architects to ensure alignment with overall product vision and roadmap.
  • Own design decisions around multi-tenancy, scalability, high availability, and third-party provider integration.
  • Define standards for APIs, SDKs, observability, virtualization, and infrastructure components.

Leadership & Delivery Oversight

  • Act as the technical product owner for 15–20 developers across 3 Scrum teams.
  • Translate business objectives into technical backlog items and milestones.
  • Lead design reviews, sprint planning inputs, and PI planning from an architecture perspective.
  • Mentor technical leads and senior engineers, ensuring pyramid team structure and quality delivery.

Virtualization & Kernel Enablement

  • Define the architecture for Linux-based virtual test environments (Debian, Red Hat, Ubuntu).
  • Guide teams on ARM/x86 simulation and emulation (QEMU/KVM, virtualization technologies).
  • Ensure kernel-level tuning, performance optimization, and driver integration as required for test environments.
  • Integrate virtualization into cloud-native infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes) for scalable provisioning.

Integration & Platform Enablement

  • Drive integration with CI/CD systems (GitLab, Jenkins, ArgoCD, Octopus Deploy).
  • Guide Infra/DevOps teams in setting up AWS, Kubernetes, and virtualized environments.
  • Ensure observability and monitoring of virtual test environments and backend services.
  • Enable developer self-service capabilities via APIs and automation workflows.

Stakeholder Management

  • Serve as the primary technical liaison between customer architects and offshore engineering teams.
  • Represent architecture decisions in customer forums and provide status updates.
  • Balance customer priorities with team execution capacity, ensuring delivery predictability.

 

Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • 12+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 5 years in solution or platform architecture.
  • Proven track record of leading large teams (15–20 engineers) across multiple Scrum teams.
  • Strong expertise in platform architecture, backend integration, APIs, and CI/CD systems.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS (EC2, EKS, VPC, IAM, Terraform/CloudFormation).
  • Strong knowledge of Kubernetes, Docker, and Linux (Debian, Red Hat, Ubuntu).
  • Expertise in virtualization and kernel-level work (QEMU, KVM, ARM/x86 emulation, kernel tuning).
  • Programming language expertise in GoLang, Python, and TypeScript/JavaScript.
  • Experience designing for multi-tenancy, scalability, and high availability.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills.

 

Preferred Qualifications:

  • AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional (preferred) or AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate.
  • Exposure to observability/monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, CloudWatch).
  • Experience working as a technical product owner or directly with customer architect groups.
  • Background in aviation, in-flight connectivity, or large-scale enterprise platforms.
