**Responsibilities**:
**Essential Roles and Responsibilities**
- Lead the design and evolution of scalable, secure, high-performance, and **distributed** end-to-end system architectures **and robust data synchronization with effective conflict resolution**, aligned with business goals and technical standards.
- Architect and drive the transformation of legacy monolithic systems into modular, domain-driven microservices deployed across multiple geographic regions.
- Define and implement patterns for regional service deployment, traffic routing, failover, and disaster recovery to achieve low latency and high availability.
- Design systems that comply with data residency and privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, PDPA) by ensuring user data is stored and processed within designated geographic boundaries.
- Utilize containerization and Kubernetes to support scalable and reproducible deployments in a cloud environment (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Collaborate closely with engineering, security, product, operations, and business stakeholders to ensure the architecture supports both functional and regulatory requirements.
- Define best practices, technical standards, and review processes to ensure consistent and high-quality design and implementation across services and regions.
- Provide architectural guidance, technical leadership, and mentorship to engineering teams to ensure alignment with architectural vision and system goals.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including PD, internal stakeholders to deliver high-quality solutions.
- Stay current with emerging technologies in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, AI/ML, and web architecture, and evaluate their potential to improve the system design.
- Promote a culture of innovation, technical excellence, and continuous improvement within the architecture and engineering organization.

**Pre-Requisites**:
**Requirements**:

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related technical field.
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in an architecture or technical leadership role.
- Proven experience in designing and implementing microservices-based architectures in cloud environments (e.g., AWS or GCP).
- Demonstrated experience with migrating from monolithic to microservices architectures, including service decomposition and integration strategy.
- ** Strong understanding of distributed systems,** particularly multi-region deployments, including service mesh architectures, traffic routing, global failover strategies, latency optimization, regional scaling, and cross-region consistency.
- Solid knowledge of data residency and data sovereignty requirements (e.g., GDPR, PDPA, CCPA), and experience designing systems that comply with such regulations.
- Proficient in cloud-native technologies, including containers (Docker), Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines.
- Strong expertise in distributed systems design, CAP theorem trade-offs, event-driven architecture, and eventual consistency models.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to align technical design with business objectives.
- Ability to produce high-quality architectural documentation, including system diagrams, data flows, and decision records.
- Familiarity with OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a plus.
- Strong understanding of software development principles such as Agile and SCRUM.
