Principal Software Architect - .NET Distributed Systems

About

The company is looking for someone who can operate at a high architectural level while still being willing and able to stay close to the code inside a Microsoft .NET environment. Someone who understands distributed systems, scalability, resiliency, and platform design, but who can also jump into proof-of-concepts, frameworks, architecture validation, and technical problem solving when needed.

The organization builds large-scale commerce and transaction platforms operating in highly demanding, always-on environments. Engineering decisions matter here. Performance, uptime, security, and long-term maintainability are critical.

You will help shape architecture across multiple systems and teams while partnering closely with engineering leadership, product, platform, security, and development teams.

Why this role stands out:

• High-impact architecture role with real technical influence
• Hands-on involvement instead of being removed from engineering
• Large-scale distributed systems and event-driven environments
• Strong growth trajectory and technical investment
• Hybrid flexibility
• Fast-moving engineering culture without excessive bureaucracy

Environment includes technologies such as:

• Kafka
• Redis
• Event Hubs
• SQL and NoSQL platforms
• Event-driven architecture
• High-throughput transactional systems

This role is ideal for an architect who still enjoys solving technical problems directly and wants to remain connected to engineering execution rather than becoming purely governance-focused.
