A hands-on Product Architect in Kochi who owns the end-to-end technical direction of the company's products — from first architecture decisions to systems at scale — making key tech calls, staying involved in critical code and design decisions, and leading engineers. Core stack spans backend languages (Java, Python, Node.js, Go, Scala, Rust), cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), microservices, and AI/LLM-enable
We're looking for a Product Architect to own the technical direction of our products end to end from the first architecture decision to systems running reliably at scale. You'll set the technical bar, make the hard calls on architecture and technology and lead engineers through complex problems. Just as important: you'll be the person who spots the problem early and brings the solution, working shoulder to shoulder with product, engineering and business teams.
Own product architecture from concept and technology choices all the way through to systems running in production at scale.
Translate product and business requirements into clear technical designs covering system architecture, APIs, data models, integrations and infrastructure.
Make and defend key architectural decisions while weighing performance, security, reliability, maintainability and cost.
Stay hands-on by contributing to critical design and coding decisions rather than just diagrams.
Catch architectural risks and bottlenecks early and drive the fixes before they become blockers.
Lead engineers through hard technical problems and keep architecture consistent across teams.
Run architecture, design and code reviews and raise the engineering bar through best practices and mentoring.
Evaluate AI, automation and emerging tech for real product use, focusing on signal rather than hype.
6+ years of experience in building and shipping software products, with strong hands-on engineering depth.
Hands-on experience building AI/LLM-enabled products or working with AI-assisted development.
Strong expertise in software architecture, system design, design patterns and data structures and algorithms.
Proven experience with microservices, distributed systems, event-driven and high-availability architectures.
Strong in one or more backend languages such as Java, Python, Node.js, Go, Scala, or Rust.
Solid experience with relational and NoSQL databases, API design across REST and GraphQL and system integrations.
Hands-on with AWS, Azure, or GCP, along with Docker, Kubernetes and cloud-native patterns.
Good grasp of DevOps, CI/CD, observability, testing and production reliability.
A track record of turning ambiguous requirements into clear technical direction and getting a team to rally behind it.
A sharp communicator who can explain trade-offs to engineers, product and business teams alike.
