You might be our missing piece if you have:

• 6+ years of experience in Java architecture, ideally in large-scale, enterprise environments.
• Deep experience with Azure; Docker, Kubernetes; GitHub Actions / GitLab CI.
• Strong database and caching knowledge (PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, Elasticsearch)
• Familiarity with security, data privacy and compliance standards, and experience implementing OAuth2, Keycloak, JWT, zero-trust model protocols
• Strong experience with architecture approaches that support modularity, flexibility, and maintainability: REST, GraphQL, event-driven, API-first, domain-driven design (DDD), microservices, hexagonal architecture
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; ability to convey complex concepts to technical and business audiences.
• Experience working in Agile development environments.

We would be thrilled if you have:

• Broadleaf certifications or contributions to modules/plugins.
• Exposure to enterprise integration (ERP/CRM, payment systems).

We will be working together on

• Solution & System Architecture
  
• Design and document modern, modular, microservice-based Java solutions with Broadleaf Commerce at the core.
  
• Develop reference architectures
  
• Select appropriate runtime stacks depending on use case
• Broadleaf Commerce Customization
• Extend and configure Broadleaf modules (e.g., pricing, checkout, catalog).
  
• Integrate Broadleaf with modern services (ERP, search engines, payment APIs).
  
• Implement and optimize Broadleaf in a cloud-native, containerized environment.
  
• Tech Leadership & Governance
  
• Guide engineers on scalable architecture implementation.
  
• Lead design reviews, evaluate POCs, and standardize architecture documentation.
  
• Ensure high observability through OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana, and Elastic stack integrations.
  
• Optimization
  
• Advocate for performance tuning.
  
• Drive adoption of serverless and event-driven patterns.
  
• Champion automated CI/CD, IaC (Terraform), and GitOps best practices.
  
• Client & Stakeholder Engagement
  
• Act as a strategic partner to clients, continuously engaging with them to unpack their strategy and roadmap.
  
• Proactively advise clients on solutions and best practices to keep them ahead in their digital journey.
  
• Promote thought leadership through insight sharing, architecture reviews, and deep technical discussions.
  
• Support backlog refinement, sprint planning, and cross-functional collaboration with delivery managers, engineers, and analysts.
