Responsibilities
Architect cloud-native backend systems optimized for scalability, resilience, and cost-efficiency
Define and promote cloud-optimized design patterns such as microservices, event-driven architecture, service mesh, and containerized workloads
Ensure backend systems integrate cleanly with microfrontend architectures through well-designed APIs and edge services
Create architectural blueprints, system diagrams, and technical standards for cloud-native platforms
Champion an API-first design methodology, ensuring all services expose clear, versioned, documented, and secure APIs
Collaborate with frontend/microfrontend teams to define and evolve API contracts that ensure consistency across the platform
Implement API governance, gateways, and standards to support scale and maintainability
Design and maintain modular, scalable microservices aligned with business domains (DDD, bounded contexts)
Optimize backend performance, latency, scalability, and fault tolerance
Provide architectural guidance to backend teams around service decomposition, data ownership, caching strategies, and observability
Develop and maintain the multi-cloud architecture strategy (AWS/GCP), focusing on resilience, cost optimization, performance, and security
Design and document scalable, reliable, and secure cloud environments for new and existing platform components
Evaluate and recommend new cloud technologies and services to improve platform capabilities and operational efficiency
Collaborate with engineering and product teams to translate business requirements into robust, scalable cloud infrastructure designs
Lead the adoption and continuous improvement of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices using tools like Terraform or Pulumi
Oversee and mentor teams in the deployment, monitoring, and maintenance of cloud resources and services (e.g., Kubernetes, serverless components, databases, networking)
Establish and enforce best practices for configuration management, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), and automated provisioning/de-provisioning
Implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting strategies to ensure high visibility into system health and performance
Embed security principles and controls into the cloud architecture from the initial design phase (Security by Design)
Work closely with the Security team to ensure all cloud infrastructure meets Bugcrowd's stringent security standards and compliance requirements (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001)
Implement and manage cloud security tools, identity and access management (IAM) policies, and network security controls (VPCs, firewalls, security groups)
Act as the subject matter expert for all cloud-related infrastructure and architecture decisions
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to development and operations teams on cloud technologies and best practices
Drive standardization across infrastructure services and deployment methodologies
Qualification

10+ years of cloud, platform, and backend engineering experience, with strong expertise in distributed system
4+ years architecting cloud-native solutions on AWS, Azure, or GCP
Strong proficiency in at least one backend language (Go, Java, Python, Node.js, .NET, etc.)
Experience designing and scaling microservices architectures
Strong understanding of API-first design, RESTful services, GraphQL, or asynchronous APIs
Solid experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and container orchestration
Familiarity with supporting microfrontend ecosystems through well-structured backend APIs and edge services
Deep knowledge of networking, security, observability, and cloud infrastructure
Experience with both relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB)
Deep practical experience with Kubernetes (EKS/GKE), Docker, and containerized deployment strategies
Excellent debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills
Preferred
Professional cloud certification (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional, Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect)
Experience in a high-growth SaaS environment or security industry company
Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001)
Experience with service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio, Linkerd)
Background in event-driven systems (Kafka, Kinesis, Pub/Sub)
Familiarity with microfrontend frameworks and patterns (Module Federation, Web Components)
Experience in building large-scale SaaS or multi-tenant platforms
