Technical Architect

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

📋 Description

• Act as the technical reference point, translating business objectives into robust, adaptable, secure, and operational architectures.

• Create comprehensive technical architectures that encompass components, integrations, data flows, dependencies, and responsibility boundaries.

• Record architectural decisions using ADRs and assess alternatives, trade-offs, risks, costs, and operational implications.

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

• Design 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 behavior.

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

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

• Assess performance and capacity through analysis, profiling, load testing, and 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 the impact on timeline, cost, and scope.

• Participate in planning complex deliveries, technical estimations, milestone definitions, and tracking architectural commitments.
