Principal Architect, Platform Engineering Blink Charging | 10+ Years | Tier 1 Institution Preferred (IIT / NIT / IIIT or equivalent)

Who We Are

Blink operates one of the world's largest EV charging networks. We build the hardware, software, and services that keep drivers moving. Scale is real here, and so is the responsibility.

Why This Role Exists

We are at a stage where the platform needs someone who owns the big picture. We have multiple teams, a growing set of services, and an increasing need to move quick with confidence.



We need a Principal Architect who can set the technical direction, connect the dots across teams, and ensure every architectural decision we make today builds a stronger, more scalable platform for tomorrow. This is a role for someone who is deeply embedded in the engineering reality of the platform and elevates everyone around them.

Who You Are

You think in systems, tradeoffs, and long term consequences. You have strong opinions backed by data and experience, and you know when to be pragmatic. You are obsessed with reliability and you design for failure before it happens. You engage across the full stack, from backend services to mobile, and you bring the same rigour to every layer. You have naturally made AI and modern tooling part of how you work. You take ownership of the platform's technical health and you are restless about continuously raising the bar.

You have operated in engineering environments where scale is not a future problem but a present reality. Where distributed systems, high throughput, and reliability are part of everyday engineering, not aspirational goals.

What You Bring

Must Have

- Deep experience designing and evolving large scale distributed cloud native microservices platforms covering scalability, HA, resiliency, fault isolation and recovery
- Strong hands-on engineering experience across backend and frontend stacks, able to engage meaningfully on critical paths and complex code reviews across Java Spring Boot, Node.js,



React and React Native
- Platform wide architecture ownership, defining standards, design patterns, service boundaries and integration approaches across multiple teams
- Deep experience with Kafka and event driven architectures including async behaviour, retries, idempotency and eventual consistency at high throughput production scale
- Docker and Kubernetes, container orchestration, scaling strategies, resource management and deployment patterns for high availability systems
- Redis and caching strategies at scale, knowing when and how to cache and the tradeoffs involved in distributed caching
- AWS at depth, designing cost efficient, high availability cloud native architectures and driving cloud cost optimisation
- Solid RDBMS design and performance tuning with PostgreSQL and working experience with MongoDB at scale
- Distributed systems design patterns including circuit breakers, bulkhead, retry, backoff, saga and eventual consistency
- Application level SRE thinking, guiding teams on reliability, fault tolerance, graceful degradation and designing systems that fail safely
- Contributing to PCI DSS scoping and remediation, working collaboratively with DevOps to meet compliance and regulatory standards
- Release governance, owning risk assessment, rollback strategies and release readiness from an architecture standpoint
- Observability at platform level, ensuring meaningful instrumentation, alerting and operational visibility across all services using Prometheus, Grafana and AWS CloudWatch
- Actively using Gen AI and modern tooling to improve productivity, architectural thinking and engineering quality
- Strong analytical and problem solving skills with ability to reason about co
