About the Role

NetBrain is seeking a Software Architect to lead the technical architecture of its next-generation SaaS platform on AWS. This senior, hands-on role involves infrastructure, platform engineering, and product strategy, ideal for someone experienced in transitioning products to public SaaS at scale.

Responsibilities

  • Define the reference architecture for NetBrain’s SaaS platform on AWS, covering compute, networking, data, messaging, and observability layers.
  • Lead the multi-tenancy design strategy, including data isolation, tenant routing, and compliance boundaries.
  • Own the Infrastructure-as-Code strategy using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation, establishing reusable modules and IaC governance across engineering teams.
  • Design the container and Kubernetes orchestration platform: cluster topology, workload scheduling, autoscaling, and namespace conventions.
  • Architect the event-driven messaging layer using RabbitMQ (preferred) or Kafka, including schema governance, dead-letter handling, and consumer patterns.
  • Define the polyglot persistence strategy across relational databases and MongoDB, including data modeling standards and backup/recovery procedures.
  • Establish the observability stack (metrics, tracing, logging, alerting) and SLI/SLO frameworks aligned to enterprise customer expectations.
  • Embed security into the platform architecture: encryption, IAM, secrets management, network segmentation, and a path to SOC 2 Type II.
  • Produce architecture decision records (ADRs) and documentation that guide engineering teams and inform product leadership.

Requirements

  • 8–12+ years in software or infrastructure engineering, with 4+ years in an architecture role for a SaaS product.
  • Deep, hands-on AWS experience across compute, networking, storage, and managed services.
  • Proven track record of architecting multi-tenant SaaS platforms, ideally transitioning a product from on-premises or private cloud to public SaaS.
  • Strong command of cloud-native design patterns: event-driven architecture, microservices decomposition, twelve-factor applications, and API-first design.
  • Experience leading architecture across multiple engineering teams.
  • Ability to produce documentation that engineers can build from and executives can reason about.
  • Comfortable presenting tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Manual Dexterity: Repetitive motion of wrists, hands and fingers for using a computer.
  • Stationary Tasks: Sitting for extended periods, remaining in a stationary position.
