SUMMARY:
IF IT CAN GO WRONG, IT WILL. UNLESS YOU DESIGN IT RIGHT.

Are you a Software Architect who plans for digital chaos, anticipates every point of failure, and builds systems that survive the inevitable?
Murphy’s Law isn’t a threat—it’s your design spec. Our clients are searching for Software Architects who thrive under entropy—visionaries who architect systems so resilient, so scalable, and so brilliantly redundant that even the universe can’t break them. Whether you’re actively seeking your next challenge or just preparing for the worst—we’re looking for architects who expect the unexpected.

POSITION INFO:

Prove you’re not just designing for success—you’re designing against failure.
Systems Architecture: Microservices, event-driven design, distributed systems, and cloud-native patterns
Resilience Engineering: Circuit breakers, retry mechanisms, observability, and chaos testing
Performance & Scalability: Load balancing, caching, database sharding, and latency optimization
Security by Design: Threat modeling, zero-trust architecture, encryption, and compliance frameworks
DevOps & SRE Mindset: CI/CD, IaC, containerization, and monitoring that spots trouble before it starts

Qualification:
Tertiary is preferred
