About our client
Our client is an established technology company operating large-scale data centers and delivering mission-critical digital services to enterprise customers.
The company provides infrastructure, SaaS and AI-driven solutions built on its own data and cloud environment. As part of a long-term transformation, it is building a next-generation distributed platform that will serve as the core orchestration and service layer across its product portfolio.
This is a strategic greenfield initiative with long-term architectural ownership and direct impact on products used by thousands of customers.
Job description
We are looking for a Senior Software Architect who will define and drive the architecture of a multi-tenant distributed platform responsible for service lifecycle management, provisioning orchestration and usage-based billing logic.
Your responsibilities will include:
• Defining the long-term target architecture of the platform
• Structuring the system into clear domains and modular components
• Designing scalable, highly available distributed system patterns
• Defining API standards and integration contracts
• Designing event-driven communication and data flow models
• Designing the application layer responsible for provisioning and usage processing
• Collaborating closely with Product, Engineering and Infrastructure teams
• Providing architectural oversight, technical reviews and mentoring senior developers
• Ensuring long-term maintainability, performance and security
This is a software architecture role focused on platform design and technical direction. It is not an infrastructure or DevOps engineering position.
Requirements
We are looking for a Senior Software Architect with a strong engineering foundation:
• 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience
• Proven background in building and evolving production-grade systems
• Experience growing from implementation-level responsibilities into architectural ownership
• Demonstrated ability to design complex distributed systems
• Experience designing scalable, highly available APIs
• Experience with event-driven architectures and asynchronous communication
• Strong understanding of secure system design principles (IAM, RBAC, auditing, data protection)
• Experience designing transactional and analytical data models
• Ability to translate product and business requirements into sustainable technical architecture
• Engineering mindset with practical understanding of implementation trade-offs
Nice to have
• Experience integrating service provisioning or automation layers (IaC principles)
• Experience working in cloud-native environments
• Messaging systems such as Kafka, RabbitMQ or equivalent
• Multi-tenant system design
• Usage-based or subscription billing systems
• Experience collaborating with DevOps teams on CI/CD and deployment strategies
These areas describe the platform context rather than strict qualification filters.
Fluency in Czech and English (spoken and written) is required.
Offer & Terms
• Participation in the modernization and build-out of a new generation cloud and data infrastructure
• Opportunity to grow into a leading technical authority within the domain
• Work alongside a team of senior specialists and experienced architects
• Real impact on services used by thousands of enterprise customers
• 12% annual performance bonus
• Vendor-led training programs and access to leading-edge technologies
• Smaller, well-aligned team with open collaboration culture
• Hybrid working model (1–2 days per week onsite in Prague, remainder remote)
• Combination of home office flexibility and a dedicated office workspace
• Cafeteria benefits, meal allowance and onsite parking
• 5 weeks of vacation + 5 additional health days
• Access to company recreational facilities
• Company-supported accommodation option for candidates relocating to Prague
