Technical Architect

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Argentina.

📋 Description

• Establish the complete technical architecture, encompassing components, integrations, data flows, dependencies, and delineation of responsibilities.

• Create and document architectural choices using Architectural Decision Records (ADRs), assessing alternatives, trade-offs, evolution costs, risks, and operational implications.

• Convert functional and non-functional requirements into actionable designs, technical acceptance criteria, and a roadmap for evolution.

• Craft scalable and resilient distributed solutions that address consistency, concurrency, idempotency, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery.

• Engage in the development of critical components and perform code reviews focused on design, maintainability, security, and operational performance.

• Develop testing and quality strategies across unit, integration, contract, end-to-end, performance, resilience, and security testing.

• Design and review APIs, integration contracts, persistence schemas, and mechanisms for compatibility and evolution.

• Assess performance and capacity through analysis, profiling, load testing, and setting measurable latency and throughput targets.

• Automate builds, validations, static analysis, deployments, and quality controls within CI/CD pipelines.

• Incorporate secure-by-design principles, threat modeling, secrets management, access control, and traceability.

• Identify technical risks, structural debt, and bottlenecks; prioritize remediation, and communicate impacts on timelines, costs, and scope.

• Contribute to planning complex deliveries, technical estimations, milestone definition, and tracking architectural commitments.
