Senior Solutions Architect

Core Stack:  Adobe AEM, React, Node.js (BFF), Go, AWS (API Gateway, Lambda, ECS/EKS), Gitlab

We are seeking a Senior Solutions Architect to spearhead the technical design and evolution of our high-traffic customer portal. This role is designed for a backend-heavy architect who thrives on building resilient, cloud-native ecosystems. 

Candidate will be the primary architect responsible for a sophisticated hybrid architecture: leveraging Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) for content agility, while engineering a high-performance backend running on a modern AWS serverless and containerized infrastructure. 

Core Responsibilities 

• Architectural Orchestration: Design and maintain the end-to-end architecture for a decoupled, headless portal environment, ensuring low-latency communication between frontends and backends. 
• Cloud Infrastructure Design: Architect and oversee the deployment of scalable services using Amazon EKS and transition to AWS Lambda for high throughput microservices. 
• System Integration: Map complex data flows between the portal and various internal/legacy data systems, ensuring reliable data synchronization and high availability. 
• Backend Strategy & Execution: Lead the design of the Node.js Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) for seamless frontend integration and high-performance microservices for core business logic. 
• Technical Governance: Define API contracts (OpenAPI/Swagger), establish coding standards for Go and Node.js, and lead architectural reviews to prevent technical debt. 
• API Orchestration: Design a robust "Front Door" strategy using AWS API Gateway to manage traffic, enforce security policies, and route requests across the BFF and backend service layers. 
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with Product Owners to define roadmaps and provide technical mentorship to Principal Leads and Engineering teams. 
• DevSecOps & Observability: Establish standards for CI/CD pipelines, automated scaling, and deep observability (tracing, logging, and metrics) across the distributed AWS environment. 
• Technical Skills & Qualifications 
• The Must-Haves (Cloud & Backend Core) 
• AWS Expert: Deep experience with AWS API Gateway, Lambda (Serverless), and container orchestration via ECS or EKS.  
• Golang Proficiency: 5+ years of experience building production-grade microservices in Go, with a focus on concurrency and low-latency performance. 
• Node.js, React & AEM Integration: Strong experience using Node.js as a BFF layer to handle API orchestration and server-side rendering for React SPAs, specifically integrating with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) in a headless or hybrid model. 
• Headless CMS Architecture: Proven ability to integrate AEM into a modern microservices stack using Content Services or GraphQL. 
• Data & Security: Expertise in OAuth2/OIDC flows, JWT management, and designing secure interfaces between public-facing gateways and private backend VPCs. 
• The "Plus" Factors 
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Professional). 
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform). 
• Experience with Event-Driven Architecture (Kafka, RabbitMQ) for asynchronous data processing
