Software Architect

Join a major UAE digital transformation programme aimed at modernising critical public services. As a Microservices Architect, you will design and lead the architecture of a cloud-native, event-driven platform built on microservices principles.

You will define the architectural blueprint for a scalable, secure, and modular platform, guiding teams across backend, DevOps, and integration layers. This is a senior, hands-on design role focused on technical excellence and interoperability.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Define and implement microservices architecture using Node.js, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Design an API Gateway for routing, security, and request transformation.
• Model business domains into bounded contexts with clear ownership.
• Enable event-driven communication using Kafka, RabbitMQ, or cloud-native messaging.
• Establish logging, monitoring, and tracing standards (ELK, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry).
• Enforce authentication (OAuth2, OpenID), RBAC, and compliance (ISO 27001, GDPR).
• Collaborate with SAP, identity, and blockchain teams on system integration.
• Mentor development teams and ensure alignment to architectural best practices.

What You’ll Need to Succeed:

• 6+ years of backend or architecture experience, with 3+ years in microservices design.
• Strong proficiency in Node.js or Java (Spring Boot) and container orchestration.
• Deep understanding of event-driven systems and asynchronous communication.
• Experience with cloud-native architecture (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Knowledge of DevOps tools (Jenkins, ArgoCD, GitLab CI) and observability stacks.
• Exposure to ERP (SAP) or identity platforms (UAE Pass) is beneficial.

What’s in It for You:

• Lead architecture for a mission-critical, government-grade digital platform.
• Work across modern stacks combining microservices, cloud, and security design.
• Shape engineering best practices and mentor a multidisciplinary team.
• Competitive compensation and long-term strategic project exposure.

If you’re passionate about building resilient, cloud-native architectures that power national-scale platforms, apply or reach out in confidence.
