The Java Application Architect is responsible for defining and governing the application architecture, design standards, and modernization roadmap for the portfolio. The role will provide technical leadership across mission-critical applications, drive adoption of contemporary Java and microservices architectures, and ensure solutions are secure, scalable, resilient, maintainable, and aligned with enterprise technology standards. ● Define and maintain application architecture principles, standards, reference architectures, and design patterns across the portfolio. ● Develop application modernization roadmaps, including migration of monolithic applications to microservices and cloud-native architectures. ● Lead architecture reviews and provide technical governance for application design, development, integration, and deployment activities. ● Design scalable, resilient, and secure Java-based solutions using modern frameworks and architectural patterns. ● Define microservices architecture standards, including service decomposition, API contracts, service communication, resiliency patterns, and observability requirements. ● Drive adoption of domain-driven design (DDD), event-driven architectures, API-first design, and reusable service patterns. ● Design and govern RESTful APIs, asynchronous integrations, and messaging solutions using industry best practices. ● Collaborate with Platform Engineering teams to ensure applications are optimized for cloud platforms, containerization, Kubernetes, and CI/CD deployment models. ● Establish architecture patterns for containerized application deployments on Kubernetes and AWS EKS environments. ● Ensure application solutions meet security, availability, performance, scalability, and regulatory requirements. ● Partner with Security teams to incorporate secure coding practices, vulnerability management,



authentication, authorization, and data protection standards. ● Drive application observability through logging, monitoring, distributed tracing, performance tuning, and proactive health monitoring. ● Define non-functional requirements including availability, disaster recovery, performance, capacity management, and operational support models. ● Support technical decision-making for application integration, middleware, API gateways, service mesh, and cloud-native technologies. ● Contribute to DevOps practices including CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, release automation, and Infrastructure as Code adoption. ● Create and maintain architecture documentation, solution designs, reference patterns, standards, and knowledge repositories. ● Identify technical debt, architectural risks, and improvement opportunities, and develop remediation roadmaps to improve long-term maintainability. To help us level up, you'll ideally have: ● 12 – 15 years of strong hands-on experience designing and developing enterprise applications using Java 11/17+, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and related technologies. ● Strong expertise in microservices architecture, distributed systems, and cloud-native application design. ● Experience designing REST APIs, event-driven architectures, messaging platforms, and integration solutions. ● Strong understanding of application scalability, resiliency, fault tolerance, caching, and performance optimization patterns. ● Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, container orchestration, and cloud deployment models. ● Strong understanding of API Gateway, Service Mesh, service discovery, circuit breakers, and distributed tracing concepts. ● Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and DevOps practices. ● Strong knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases, data modelling, and persistence frameworks.
