About The Role

We are looking for a hands-on Software Architect with deep expertise in Java, Spring Boot, and React to spearhead the modernization of legacy monolithic enterprise applications into resilient, scalable microservices architectures. This role sits at the intersection of engineering excellence and AI-led innovation — the ideal candidate will embed AI tooling across the software development lifecycle (SDLC), from AI-assisted design and code generation through to automated testing and deployment. You will lead a small, high-performing team and work closely with business stakeholders to deliver up-to-date, production-grade enterprise software.

What You'll Do

Lead the end-to-end modernization of monolithic enterprise applications into microservices, applying domain-driven design (DDD), event-driven architecture, and API-first principles.
Architect and build scalable backend services using Java and Spring Boot (Spring Cloud, Spring Security, Spring Data), and deliver modern, responsive frontend interfaces with React.




Champion AI-led SDLC practices across the team — integrating AI-assisted coding (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or equivalent), automated code review, AI-generated test suites, and intelligent CI/CD pipelines.
Lead and mentor a small team of engineers (3–6), conducting code reviews, setting technical standards, and driving a culture of engineering excellence and continuous improvement.
Define and execute the migration strategy from monolith to microservices, including service decomposition, strangler-fig pattern adoption, and data decoupling.
Design and implement RESTful and event-driven APIs, ensuring clean contracts, versioning, and robust integration with enterprise systems.
Embed AI-driven automation across development workflows — automated test generation, infrastructure-as-code, monitoring, and intelligent alerting.
Collaborate with product owners and business stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable technical solutions with clear deliv
