Solution Architect - Blockchain Systems

We’re seeking a senior technical leader to own end-to-end solution design across our new Core Services and our existing products, while supporting new ventures.

Requirements

• Define target architectures, service contracts, data flows, and non-functional requirements across Core Services and product squads.
• Produce ADRs, reference designs, and golden paths for APIs, events, and data.
• Guide engineers through discovery → design → build → rollout for complex initiatives.
• Champion multi-tenant patterns, API-first design, and stateless, horizontally scalable services.
• Ensure smooth CI/CD, observability, and operability in partnership with DevOps/SRE.
• Promote performance, cost, and reliability trade-offs with clear rationale.
• Embed security-by-design (mTLS/service mesh, secret management, Vault/HSM/KMS).
• Shape resilience patterns (active-active, failover, DR/RPO/RTO objectives) and drive drills.
• Align designs with ISO/IEC and GDPR requirements in collaboration with Security & Compliance.
• Work with Product Owners to break outcomes into epics/stories with crisp acceptance criteria.
• Coordinate dependencies across our core products and services; unblock delivery teams.
• Lead design reviews, stakeholder updates, and demo/readout sessions.
• Maintain the platform design roadmap; sunset legacy patterns and introduce new standards.
• Curate reusable blueprints, starter repos, and documentation for internal consumers.
• Support solution shaping for key partners/customers, ensuring fit to platform guardrails.
• Define onboarding patterns for integrations, SDKs, and external developer experiences.
