Job Details

Innowhyte is seeking a Development Platform Architect with deep experience in building modern internal and external development platforms. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of developer workflows, developer experience design, and CI/CD pipeline integration to enable scalable and efficient development environments for next-generation hybrid ecosystems (NGHE). This role requires a blend of cloud-native architecture, platform engineering, and hands-on development across both front-end and back-end technologies.

 

Key Responsibilities

·       Architect and implement internal and external development platforms to enhance developer productivity and collaboration.

·       Design and develop developer portals, software catalogs, and plugin architectures to support scalable developer ecosystems.

·       Build and integrate custom developer workflows, SDKs, and API documentation to support agile software delivery lifecycles.

·       Architect developer platform ecosystems using tools such as Backstage, Port, Cortex, or Cycloid.

·       Integrate development platforms with CI/CD pipelines including GitLab CI, Jenkins, Octopus Deploy, and ArgoCD.

·       Develop and maintain RESTful and GraphQL APIs for integration with external and internal systems.

·       Apply Kubernetes-based orchestration within development platform ecosystems for scalability, observability, and automation.

·       Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and deliver SDKs, APIs, and CI/CD integrations supporting DevSecOps practices.

·       Contribute to both front-end (React, TypeScript) and back-end components to deliver full-stack platform functionality.

 

Required Qualifications

·       Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent technical field.

·       10+ years of experience in architecture, design, and development for Linux or Android systems.

·       10+ years of experience in embedded systems architecture and software development within aviation, automotive, or similar safety-critical industries.

·       Proven experience architecting developer platforms and integrating toolchains, SDKs, and CI/CD systems.

·       Hands-on expertise in Kubernetes, API design, and cloud-native software architectures.

 

Preferred Skills

·       Experience building or customizing Backstage, Port, or similar developer portals.

·       Strong understanding of developer experience (DevEx) design and service catalog management.

·       Familiarity with test automation frameworks and simulation environments.

·       Proficiency in TypeScript, React, Python, or Go.

·       Excellent communication and documentation skills with the ability to influence architectural direction across global teams.
