**Job Title:** System Architect (Multi-Platform Software) **About the Role:** We are seeking a skilled and experienced System Architect to lead the architectural design and evolution of our software product - MBStories. This role involves overseeing the technical vision for an ecosystem that spans mobile applications (app frontend), robust cloud-based services (cloud backend), integrated automotive head unit interfaces (automotive head unit frontend), and intuitive web experiences (web frontend). You will be instrumental in defining the technical strategy, ensuring scalability, reliability, and maintainability across all components, and guiding our engineering teams to deliver cutting-edge solutions. Along with this, competence in GenAI, predictive and agentic AI technologies is a key ask from the role. **Key Responsibilities:** * Define and evolve the overall system architecture for a multi-platform software product, encompassing app frontend, cloud backend, automotive head unit frontend, and web frontend. * Translate complex business requirements and functional specifications into robust, scalable, and secure architectural designs and technical solutions. * Lead the design and implementation of distributed systems, microservices, and API strategies, ensuring seamless integration and communication between all product components. * Provide technical leadership and mentorship to development teams, fostering best practices in software design, coding standards, and architectural patterns. * Evaluate and recommend new technologies, tools, and platforms to enhance system performance, scalability, and development efficiency. * Ensure the system architecture adheres to non-functional requirements such as performance, scalability, reliability, availability, security, and maintainability. * Collaborate closely with product managers, engineering leads, and other stakeholders to align technical solutions with product roadmaps and business objectives. * Develop and maintain comprehensive architectural documentation, including system diagrams, design specifications, and technical guidelines. * Drive continuous improvement in our software development lifecycle (SDLC) and advocate for Agile and DevSecOps methodologies. * Conduct architectural reviews and provide constructive feedback to ensure adherence to architectural principles and quality standards. * Incorporate AI based development and innovation across team and bring in scalability and easier migration techniques as per project demands **Required Skills and Experience:** * **8+ years of overall experience in software development and engineering roles, with at least 3+ years specifically in a System Architect or Solution Architect capacity.** * Proven expertise in designing and architecting complex, multi-platform software products. * Deep understanding and hands-on experience with: * **App Frontend Development:** Architecting mobile applications (iOS/Android). * **Cloud Backend Development:** Designing and implementing scalable cloud-native solutions (e.g., microservices, serverless architectures, APIs). * **Automotive Head Unit Frontend:** Experience with in-car infotainment systems or similar embedded/device-specific UI development is highly desirable. * **Web Frontend Development:** Architecting modern web applications. * Proficiency in multiple programming languages relevant to our stack, including: * **Java:** For robust backend services and enterprise applications. * **Kotlin:** For Android app development and potentially backend services. * **Python:** For cloud services, data processing, and scripting. * **Swift:** For iOS app development. * Extensive knowledge of cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and their services. * Strong understanding of database technologies (SQL and NoSQL), message queues, and caching mechanisms. * Experience with architectural patterns (e.g., microservices, event-driven architecture) and design principles (e.g., SOLID, DRY). * Familiarity with CI/CD pipe
