Software Architect

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Software Architect based in Brazil.

This is an opportunity to shape the architecture of complex, business-critical software solutions in a fully remote environment.

• Define, evolve, and document software architectures for enterprise solutions, ensuring scalability, resilience, security, high availability, and maintainability.
• Translate functional and non-functional business requirements into robust technical solutions and clearly communicate architectural decisions and trade-offs.
• Design and review microservices, APIs, messaging systems, events, service integrations, and synchronous and asynchronous communication flows.
• Establish architectural standards and patterns that balance simplicity, flexibility, performance, reliability, and long-term maintenance.
• Define strategies for scalability, fault tolerance, disaster recovery, authentication, authorization, encryption, observability, and system availability.
• Support development teams throughout implementation, providing technical guidance on complex scenarios and ensuring architectural principles are consistently applied.
• Contribute hands-on with C# and .NET when required, helping validate architectural decisions through practical implementation.
• Promote engineering best practices including SOLID, Clean Code, Design Patterns, automated testing, and effective code review practices.
• Define and review technical components, layers, contracts, integration flows, and system boundaries.
• Evaluate technical risks, compare alternative architectural approaches, and recommend pragmatic solutions aligned with business priorities.
• Produce technical documentation, architecture diagrams, decision records, and evolution plans to support clear and sustainable engineering practices.
• Collaborate with engineering, product, security, infrastructure, and other technical stakeholders to ensure architecture aligns with broader organizational needs.
• Support quality through automated unit and integration testing, architectural reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Solid professional experience as a Software Architect, Solutions Architect, Tech Lead, or in an equivalent senior technical role.
• Strong and recent hands-on development experience with C# and .NET, together with deep knowledge of the .NET ecosystem.
• Proven experience designing software architectures and distributed systems, particularly microservices-based solutions.
• Strong knowledge of APIs, integration patterns, messaging, queues, events, and asynchronous communication.
• Advanced understanding of SOLID principles, Clean Code, Design Patterns, and software engineering best practices.
• Experience with automated unit and integration testing and a strong commitment to technical quality.
• Knowledge of horizontal scalability, load balancing, caching, resilience patterns, fault tolerance, and high-availability strategies.
• Knowledge of application security principles, including authentication, authorization, encryption, and secure system design.
• Practical experience with Git, Docker, Docker Compose, CI/CD, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
• Ability to document complex solutions clearly and explain the reasoning behind architectural and technical decisions.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to evaluate competing architectural approaches and make sound technical recommendations.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a systems-level perspective and the ability to influence technical decisions across teams.
• Comfortable balancing strategic architecture with hands-on implementation and execution.
• Availability to complete a technical challenge involving architecture and C#/.NET implementation.
• Experience with cloud platforms, Kubernetes, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), event-driven architecture, and observability is considered an advantage.

• Fully remote work model.
• Meal and food allowance.
• Home-office allowance.
• Medical and dental insurance.
• Life insurance.
• Birthday day off.
• Total Pass / Wellhub access.
• Access to a health and wellness platform.
• Discounts and partnerships with businesses and educational institutions.
• Welcome kit and structured onboarding.
• Learning and professional development opportunities through the company's learning initiatives.
• Additional employee-focused wellbeing and engagement initiatives.
• An environment centered on collaboration, continuous learning, technical excellence, and professional growth.
• Opportunity to work on digital transformation, software engineering, architecture, data, and emerging technology initiatives.
• A culture that values ownership, transparency, collaboration, innovation, and meaningful impact.
