Our family-style company is looking for a Senior Software Architect who can turn complex systems into elegant, reliable solutions. You’ll shape architectures, define clear API contracts, and ensure every component has a purpose and a boundary.

What you’ll do:

Take full ownership of a technical domain and drive its architecture
Provide hands-on support and guidance to a small remote engineering team
Ensure services meet specifications, boundaries, and quality standards

What We’re Looking For:

10-15+ years of backend engineering experience, with a strong .NET Core / C# background
Proven experience with enterprise microservices and event-driven architecture
Hands-on experience with Kafka and distributed systems, including cross-cluster and cross-region transaction flows
Ability to design clear service boundaries, maintain data flow consistency, and create clean architecture diagrams (ArchiMate, draw.io, C4)
Strong skills in API design, domain modeling, SQL/PostgreSQL, and automated testing practices
Experience leading remote or distributed engineering teams.

What we offer:

A really promising long-lasting project (you will be proud of yourself)
Sane and polite, but effective management
The best corporate culture (according to our teammates’ opinions)
Competitive salary and other stuff
Remote work, full time
