Combines deep software engineering expertise with a strategic mindset for designing cloud-native, data-driven architectures. The ideal candidate has a strong background in backend development, CI / CD pipelines, and modern cloud platforms, and is comfortable working across software, infrastructure, and data layers. Prior experience with SCADA systems, industrial IoT, or mission-critical architectures in the energy sector is highly valued. This role requires both hands-on technical skill and the ability to guide cross-functional teams in building scalable, maintainable, and secure digital platforms.

Job Responsibilities

• Lead the design and evolution of cloud-native architectures for scalable, maintainable, and secure digital platforms, with a strong emphasis on Google Cloud, while also leveraging experience with AWS and / or Azure.
• Architect and implement distributed backend systems and microservices using Java and, eventually, Python, following best practices in performance, resilience, and security.
• Design and govern Kubernetes-based deployment strategies across environments, ensuring robust container orchestration, service mesh integration, and operational observability.
• Integrate software platforms with industrial systems such as SCADA, OPC-UA, and IoT data sources, enabling secure and reliable interaction with physical assets in energy environments.
• Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies relevant to the energy domain, including edge computing, time-series data platforms, and asset modeling (e.g., digital twins).
• Define and drive the adoption of architectural standards, technical design patterns, and cloud governance practices across engineering teams.
• Collaborate with machine learning and data engineering teams to integrate intelligent processing pipelines and decision-support systems into production platforms.
• Provide expert guidance on CI / CD pipeline design, GitOps workflows, and infrastructure-as-code strategies using tools like Terraform, Cloud Build, or GitHub Actions.
• Apply DevSecOps principles to ensure continuous security, compliance, and traceability across cloud-native systems.
• Act as a technical mentor for senior developers and tech leads, fostering a culture of architectural thinking, system ownership, and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to translate business and operational requirements into scalable and future-proof technical solutions.
• Maintain high-quality documentation of architectural decisions, interfaces, and infrastructure blueprints using internal wikis, diagrams, and Confluence spaces.
