Software Architect Location: Pune / Bangalore About Spiro Spiro is building the operating system for electric mobility across Africa - spanning battery swapping infrastructure, fleet operations, energy commerce, and CRM - live across nine markets (Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Morocco, Benin, Togo, and Cameroon). Backed by $200M in funding, we're working on top-notch, cutting-edge technology to solve problems at genuine IoT, fintech, and mobility scale - real-time data pipelines, connected hardware, and platforms that run physical infrastructure, not just dashboards. We build systems designed to scale to billions of events a day and over 1 million transactions a day, and engineered for 99.999% uptime. We're looking for exceptional engineers and leaders to join us in Pune or Bangalore to help build this platform. This isn't a "big company problems, big company headcount" environment - you'll own systems end-to-end, with a bar for technical rigor set by experience at top product tech companies, but a working style built for a company still being built. The Role We're hiring a Software Architect to own technical direction across a platform that spans battery swapping, fleet telematics, energy commerce, and CRM - all operating in real time, across nine markets, on connected hardware most architects never get to touch. You'll design systems built to scale to billions of events a day and over 1 million transactions a day, engineered for 99.999% uptime. You'll set the technical bar, own systems end-to-end, make (and document) the hard tradeoffs, and be the person teams come to when a design needs to hold up under real-world scale and failure conditions. What You'll Do Own end-to-end architecture for core platform domains - asset registries, event pipelines, device security, and data platforms - producing LLDs, ADRs, and API contracts that teams can build against confidently. Design and evolve our real-time data and caching/resilience infrastructure for correctness, latency,



and cost at scale - building systems designed to scale to billions of events a day and over 1 million transactions a day, engineered for 99.999% uptime, working with top-notch, modern technology across the stack. Define security architecture for IoT device communication - including certificate-based device security frameworks, secure command delivery, and cryptographic signing schemes across our connected fleet. Drive architectural decisions with the same rigor as a top product tech company - proper ADRs, tradeoff docs, and reference implementations - but sized appropriately for a team that needs to move rapid. Review and unblock designs across the engineering org; identify when a "quick fix" will become next year's bottleneck and say so early. Partner with DevOps/Platform on our multi-account cloud infrastructure, balancing isolation, cost, and operational simplicity. Mentor senior engineers into architectural thinking rather than being the sole decision-maker on every design. What You Bring 8 years in software engineering with 3 years in a dedicated architecture role, ideally including systems experience at a top product tech company followed by startup or scale-up experience. Deep expertise in distributed systems, event streaming, and both relational and analytical/time-series data stores. Proven experience designing for multi-tenant, multi-region, or multi-country deployments. Working knowledge of IoT architectures and device security (certificate-based auth, cryptographic signing) is a strong plus given our connected fleet. A bias toward pragmatic documentation - you write ADRs and LLDs that engineers actually use, not architecture-for-its-own-sake. Comfortable being the last line of defense on a design review and equally comfortable writing code when a reference implementation is needed. Nice to Have Experience with semantic layers / analytics platforms over modern analytical data stores. Background in fintech, energy, or mobility infrastructure. Experience architecting for emerging markets with variable connectivity and infrastructure constraints.
