• System Orchestration: Define clear service boundaries and robust inter-service communication patterns (Sync/Async).
• Engineering Excellence: Establish rigorous code standards, architectural patterns, and development best practices for Rust and Go.
• Data Strategy: Lead critical technical decisions regarding database selection, schema design, and integration architecture.
• Interface Design: Standardize API contracts using GraphQL schemas and gRPC/Protobuf definitions to ensure seamless frontend-backend integration.
• Leadership: Mentor the engineering team through deep-dive technical sessions and high-standard code reviews.
• Governance: Act as the ultimate owner of system performance, security protocols, and elastic scalability.

Required Skills

• Experience: 8+ years in backend development with 3+ years specifically in a System Architect role.
• Tech Stack: Expert-level proficiency in Rust or Go (Rust strongly preferred).
• Methodology: Deep expertise in microservices orchestration and complex distributed systems.
• Graph Specialist: Hands-on experience with Graph databases (Neo4j) is mandatory.
• Messaging: Mastery of event-driven architectures using Kafka or NATS.
• Optimization: Advanced skills in performance profiling, bottleneck identification, and system tuning.
• Security: Deep commitment to security-first design (Zero-Trust, End-to-End Encryption).

Nice to Have
