You believe in lifelong learning, constantly honing your skills and staying on the cutting edge of technology. Most importantly, you want to engage your talents to make a meaningful difference by revolutionizing the cargo industry.About the roleWe’re hiring a Java Architect to lead architecture and modernization of mission-critical platforms. This is a hands-on role for someone who has built distributed, event-driven systems at scale and can drive AI-enabled engineering across design, delivery, and operations.This is not a “PowerPoint architect” role — you will code, review, prototype, and lead execution.What you'll doArchitecture ownership for modern Java platforms (Java 17/21, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud preferred).Design and evolution of distributed, event-driven systems (messaging, sagas, resiliency, eventual consistency).Legacy modernization strategy + execution (monolith → modular/microservices via safe, incremental migration).Performance and scalability engineering (profiling, tuning, latency/throughput optimization, load testing).AI-first engineering (scale what’s already working):o Strengthen and standardize existing AI-assisted delivery across teams (coding, review, test creation, analysis)o Embed AI into modernization workflows to reduce cycle time, defects, and technical debto Accelerate quality and operations through AI-enabled automation (impact analysis, regression optimization, faster RCA)o Improve observability using AI-supported insights (signal detection, log/trace summarization, incident learning loops).Cloud architecture on Azure (preferred) with strong reliability, security, and cost discipline.Engineering guardrails: architecture patterns, reference designs, quality gates, and secure-by-design principles.Qualifications (Must-Have)12+ years of engineering experience, including 3+ years of true architecture ownershipProven production experience building distributed, event-driven systemsDeep expertise in Java (modern Java, concurrency, memory/performance fundamentals)Strong AI adoption mindset — you actively use AI tools to improve delivery velocity and qualityStrong hands-on experience with messaging/eventing patterns (queues/streams, retries, idempotency, DLQs) Kafka / Azure Service Bus / RabbitMQ experience strongly preferred.Demonstrated success modernizing legacy enterprise platforms throughincremental migration strategiesExpert-level performance engineering (profiling, GC tuning, thread/CPU analysis, API + DB tuning).Azure architecture experience (AKS, Functions, App Services, APIM, Storage preferred).Nice-to-Haves (Strong Plus)Spring ecosystem depth (Spring Cloud Gateway, Resilience4j, Spring Security, Spring Data)Containerization + orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes/AKS), service mesh familiarity a plusObservability stack experience (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana, Azure Monitor, ELK)Domain-driven design (DDD), CQRS/event sourcing experience in productionSecurity engineering practices (OAuth2/OIDC, secrets management, threat modeling, secure SDLC.Compensation and benefits We offer competitive pay and benefits designed to fuel our team's success. Health and Wellness: Medical, dental, and vision plans for you and your family Future-Ready: 401(k) with company match Work Life Balance: Generous flexible PTO program and paid holidays Grow With Us: Professional development opportunities #LI-Remote Does this role sound like the next step in your career?We’d love to hear from you!
