Description

1. Microservices Architecture & Design

• Architect enterprise-scale systems using:
  • Java (8/11/17+)
  • Spring Boot, Spring Cloud
• Design microservices following best practices:
  • API-first design
  • Domain-driven design (DDD)
  • Event-driven architecture
• Define service communication patterns:
  • REST, gRPC
  • Messaging (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
• Implement resilience patterns:
  • Circuit Breaker (Resilience4j/Hystrix)
  • Retry, Rate limiting
  • Bulkhead isolation

2. Database & Data Architecture

• Design data strategies for microservices:
  • Database per service pattern
  • Saga pattern for distributed transactions
• Architect and optimize databases:
  • RDBMS: PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server
  • NoSQL: MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis
• Implement:
  • Data partitioning and sharding
  • Replication and clustering
  • High availability and disaster recovery
• Optimize performance:
  • Query tuning
  • Index optimization
  • Caching strategies

3. Cloud-Native & DevOps Enablement

• Architect cloud-native solutions on:
  • AWS / Azure / GCP
• Implement containerization and orchestration:
  • Docker, Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE)
• Design CI/CD pipelines:
  • Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps
• Implement Infrastructure as Code:
  • Terraform, CloudFormation
• Ensure observability using:
  • ELK stack
  • Prometheus, Grafana
  • Distributed tracing (Jaeger, Zipkin)

4. Security & Governance

• Implement authentication & authorization:
  • OAuth2, JWT, OpenID Connect
• Integrate API gateways (Kong, Apigee, AWS API Gateway).
• Define logging, monitoring, and audit strategies.
• Ensure compliance with enterprise security standards.

5. Performance & Scalability

• Conduct architecture reviews and performance benchmarking.
• Design for horizontal scalability and high throughput.
• Define load balancing and failover strategies.
• Implement caching layers (Redis, Hazelcast).

6. Technical Leadership

• Mentor development teams and provide technical direction.
• Define coding standards and architecture guidelines.
• Participate in solutioning and pre-sales discussions.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
