Summary: This role requires a seasoned architect and technical leader to define software and cloud architectures, drive technical decisions, and lead engineering teams in delivering high-quality, scalable solutions. Highlights: 1. Lead architectural design for distributed systems on AWS 2. Technically lead engineering teams and mentor developers 3. Focus on innovative solutions including generative AI **Responsibilities** **Architecture** * Define the software architecture of solutions and applications (domain modeling, service decomposition, API contracts, and integration patterns) as well as the cloud infrastructure architecture. * Design distributed systems architectures with high availability, scalability, and fault tolerance. * Define and document end\-to\-end solutions on AWS, considering cost, security, performance, and operability (pillars of the AWS Well\-Architected Framework). * Architect serverless solutions with AWS Lambda (Python), including orchestration patterns, idempotency, and event handling. * Model the data layer on RDS PostgreSQL (schemas, performance, scalability, integrity). * Guide the architecture of front\-end applications in Angular integrated via AWS AppSync (GraphQL). * Lead the design of solutions and agents based on Kiro and Anthropic models (agent orchestration, prompts/context, guardrails, and quality evaluation). * Drive architecture decisions (ADRs), technical trade\-offs, and design reviews. **Technical leadership \& delivery (Tech Lead)** * Technically lead the engineering team, being responsible for delivering the project with quality and on schedule. * Translate the architecture into an execution plan, breaking work into incremental deliverables and prioritizing the technical backlog together with Product/PM. * Define and uphold quality standards: code review, testing, CI/CD, observability, and engineering best practices. * Mentor developers, support the team's technical growth, and act as an escalation point for complex challenges. * Remove technical impediments, coordinate dependencies, and communicate status, risks, and trade\-offs to leadership and stakeholders. * Balance delivery pragmatism with long\-term technical health (technical debt management). * Ensure security, governance, and compliance (IAM, encryption, networking, compliance). **Required qualifications** * 10\+ years of experience in distributed systems architecture. * 5\+ years of experience in AWS solution design. * Proven experience in software/application architecture (systems design, microservices, event\-driven architecture, APIs) not just infrastructure. * Experience as a Tech Lead or in technical leadership of teams, with accountability for project delivery. * AWS certifications (Solutions Architect Associate and/or Professional, Developer, SysOps Administrator, DevOps Engineer, etc.). * In\-depth knowledge of scalability, resilience, observability, and disaster recovery. * Experience with cloud security (IAM, networking, encryption, governance). * Strong communication, organizational, and influencing skills with engineering teams, leadership, and stakeholders. * Experience in agile environments (Scrum/Kanban) and DevOps/SRE culture (CI/CD, automation, FinOps). * English at C1 or C2 level, with experience in international projects. **Nice to have** * Experience with generative AI / agent\-based solutions, including RAG, agent orchestration, and evaluation. **Soft skills** * Technical leadership, mentoring, and the ability to develop people. * Systems thinking and long\-term vision. * Ability to balance technical, delivery, and business trade\-offs. * Strong communication and cross\-team collaboration. * Results\-oriented with a strong sense of ownership over delivery. **What can you expect from us?** Mind\-blowing workplace culture. You will be integrated in a professional, dynamic and collaborative team. **100% Remote opportunities** We want you to have the flexibility to work where you feel most comfortable and productive. **International Career** * You can expect professional growth and to be connect with the world. * We are represented in Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Denmark. * And with projects in many other countries: Netherlands, Luxembourg, Singapore and in the United States of America (and a lot more is coming…) **Extra Benefits \& Perks** If you wish to work with us and you are outside European Union (good news…) we are a Tech Visa Company, We will help! **As a plus, we provide Health and Life Insurance.**
