Verint's AI-powered portfolio spans workforce management, quality monitoring, performance management, and digital-first customer engagement - serving thousands of organizations across industries worldwide.

We are building a high-impact engineering team in India to accelerate the development of our Workforce Management (WFM), Performance Management (PM), and Platform product areas. These roles represent a ground-floor opportunity to shape the team, influence architecture, and contribute directly to products used by enterprise customers globally.

Position Overview :

Role : Software Architect (Java Full-Stack)

Location : Bangalore, India (Hybrid)

Technologies : Java, Spring Boot, Spring MVC, ReactJS, REST APIs, PostgreSQL/MS SQL, AWS/Azure, Docker/Kubernetes, Jenkins, CI/CD tooling

Seniority : 12 years of qualified software engineering experience, including 3 years in architecture or technical leadership

Work Mode : Agile Scrum, two-week sprints, cross-timezone collaboration with R&D; centers in UK and the US

About the Role :

As a Software Architect for the WFM/PM platform in India, you will define the technical blueprint for how Verint's engineering team builds, scales, and evolves its Java-based product suite. You will own system-level design decisions, establish cross-cutting architectural standards, and ensure the platform is secure, observable, performant, and maintainable at enterprise scale. You will apply proven software craftsmanship principles - including 12-Factor App methodology, SOLID principles, and design patterns - to guide the team toward a high-quality, long-lived codebase.

You will work at the intersection of hands-on technical depth and strategic engineering leadership.

Key Responsibilities :

Architecture and System Design :

- Define and own the technical architecture for WFM, PM, and Platform product areas - spanning Java backend services, frontend systems, APIs, database design, and cloud/on-premises infrastructure.
- Create, maintain, and communicate Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and system design documentation.
- Lead system-level design reviews; enforce architectural governance and review gates for new features and initiatives.
- Apply and enforce 12-Factor App methodology, SOLID principles, and established design patterns across the codebase.
- Design enterprise-grade RESTful API contracts, versioning policies, backward compatibility strategies, and service boundary definitions.
- Architect solutions for both Cloud (AWS/Azure) and On-Premises deployment environments, ensuring consistency and portability.

Java Backend Engineering Excellence :

- Own architectural implementation of Java and Spring Boot microservices, including Spring MVC, JPA/Hibernate, and integration patterns.
- Define and govern database architecture across PostgreSQL, MS SQL,



and other relational stores; own schema design, query optimization, stored procedure standards, and indexing strategy.
- Establish standards for unit and integration testing using PowerMock, Mockito, and JUnit; define test coverage thresholds and enforcement mechanisms.
- Evaluate and govern usage of build tools including Gradle, Maven, and npm; define dependency management and versioning standards.
- Champion secure-by-design practices aligned with OWASP Top 10 and enterprise customer security requirements.

Frontend and Full-Stack Oversight :

- Define frontend architecture standards for ReactJS-based applications, including component design, state management, and performance optimization.
- Govern integration patterns between backend Java services and frontend applications, including API design, authentication (OAuth 2.0/JWT), and error handling.
- Provide architectural guidance on NodeJS services where applicable, including integration with Java backend systems.
- Ensure accessibility, internationalisation (i18n), and cross-browser compatibility are considered in frontend architecture decisions.

DevOps, CI/CD, and Operational Excellence :

- Define CI/CD pipeline architecture using Jenkins and other DevOps tooling; establish standards for automated build, test, and deployment workflows.
- Own deployment architecture for application server environments including Tomcat, JBoss, and Oracle WebLogic Server (14 ).
- Establish observability architecture: logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and alerting standards for both cloud and on-premises deployments.
- Define SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets; lead post-incident architecture reviews and drive systemic reliability improvements.

Technical Standards, Governance, and Mentorship :

- Define and own engineering standards: coding guidelines, testing strategy, performance benchmarks, scripting conventions (Python, Shell, Batch), and security requirements.
- Establish and maintain the technology radar; govern adoption of third-party libraries, frameworks, and tools.
- Own the technical debt roadmap; prioritize and sequence refactoring and modernization initiatives.
- Serve as the architectural mentor for Senior and Lead engineers; enable the team to make sound design decisions independently.
- Facilitate architecture guilds, design sprints, and tech talks to elevate team-wide architectural thinking.

Cross-Functional and Global Collaboration :

- Partner with global R&D; leadership, Product, and Engineering leaders in UK and the US to align architecture with product strategy.
- Provide architectural input into roadmap planning, make-vs-buy evaluations, and platform investment decisions.




- Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders including Product, Customer Success, and executive audiences.
- Engage directly with customers and enterprise stakeholders on production issues requiring architectural-level analysis and resolution.
