DW Cloud Architect
About The Position
Telit Cinterion is seeking an experienced Cloud Architect to drive the technical direction and architectural evolution of its cloud-based IoT Connectivity and Device Management platform. The platform consists of distributed, Go-based backend services for IoT device connectivity and management, telemetry, web applications, and integrations with external systems and cloud providers. The architect will own architectural decisions and guide the design and implementation of scalable, reliable services, establishing engineering standards that support platform performance, security, maintainability, and long-term evolution. This is a senior technical leadership role centered on architecture and engineering direction, not people management. The role works with engineers and technical leads, product management, frontend and backend engineering, DevOps, SRE, and security teams. It also supports production troubleshooting and continuous improvement across architecture, engineering practices, documentation, and operational readiness.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, or equivalent.
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, including substantial hands-on experience building and operating production systems in Go/Golang.
- Demonstrated experience defining and evolving the architecture of complex backend platforms or distributed systems.
- Strong knowledge of Go concurrency, asynchronous processing, profiling, memory management, and performance optimization.
- Deep understanding of microservices, API design, distributed-system failure modes, fault tolerance, and service reliability.
- Production experience with MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, and relational databases, including data modeling and performance optimization.
- Strong experience architecting and operating cloud-based applications on AWS or an equivalent major cloud platform.
- Hands-on production experience with Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated build, test, and deployment processes; Jenkins is preferred.
- Strong understanding of application security, PKI, TLS, authentication, authorization, and enterprise identity integrations, including OAuth 2.0, OpenID, and SAML.
- Experience designing and integrating network-facing services and APIs, including assessing protocol-specific reliability, security, and scalability requirements.
Nice To Haves
- Experience building or evolving IoT connectivity, device management, telemetry, or connected-device platforms.
- Practical experience with MQTT, CoAP, LwM2M, and LoRaWAN integrations.
- Experience with multitenant SaaS platforms and large-scale device fleets.
- Familiarity with event-driven architectures and messaging technologies such as Kafka or NATS.
- Experience with production observability, distributed tracing, capacity planning, and incident management.
- Experience modernizing established platforms while maintaining availability, backward compatibility, and customer commitments.
- Familiarity with secure software development practices and applicable IoT cybersecurity requirements.
Responsibilities
- Own and evolve the technical architecture and design principles for Go-based IoT Platform services.
- Define architectural patterns, service boundaries, integration approaches, and technical standards across the platform.
- Design and support containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes in production.
- Apply cloud-native design principles for availability, horizontal scaling, resilience, resource efficiency, and operational maintainability.
- Work with DevOps and SRE teams to improve observability, monitoring, logging, alerting, incident response, and production reliability.
- Establish and improve CI/CD practices using Jenkins and related build, test, release, and deployment automation.
- Incorporate security principles into service architecture, API design, and cloud deployments.
- Guide implementation of PKI, TLS, certificate lifecycle management, authentication, authorization, and secure service-to-service communication.
- Design and review integrations with enterprise identity and access management systems using OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and SAML.
- Promote secure coding practices, appropriate secrets management, tenant isolation, and least-privilege access controls.
- Provide technical direction to engineers and technical leads without direct people-management responsibilities.
- Mentor developers through design discussions, code reviews, architecture reviews, and knowledge sharing.
- Collaborate across product management, frontend and backend engineering, DevOps, SRE, and security to translate product requirements into technical solutions.
- Support complex production troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, performance investigations, and resolution of systemic reliability issues.
- Promote continuous improvement in architecture, engineering practices, documentation, and operational readiness.
