MISSION

Job Summary:
We are seeking a seasoned
Software Architect
to establish the architectural vision and technical stewardship for OL Vietnam. In this role, you won't just design systems; you will
empower our engineering teams
by creating clear architectural principles, patterns, and "paved roads" that enable them to build scalable, secure, and maintainable software with velocity. You will lead by influence—facilitating critical design decisions, mentoring engineers, and translating business strategy into a tangible technical roadmap that elevates our entire platform and application landscape.

Essential Functions:

• Architecture Strategy & Governance:
  Define and evolve the target architecture, principles, tech radar, and roadmaps; steward ADRs; facilitate architecture/design reviews; ensure decisions and trade‑offs are documented and communicated.
• Application Architecture:
  Lead or facilitate system design for major initiatives; clarify domain boundaries and modularization; guide performance and reliability patterns (caching, concurrency/async, idempotency, retries/timeouts, graceful degradation).
• Platform Architecture & Developer Experience:
  Establish standards for build/packaging, runtime environments, configuration and secrets, and environment promotion (dev/stage/prod); contribute paved paths (templates, reference repos) for CI/CD, release strategies (e.g., canary/blue‑green when useful), and fast rollbacks.
• Hands-on Leadership & Execution:
  Lead by example by contributing directly to complex technical challenges, reference implementations, and critical proof-of-concepts. Prove your architectural standards are effective and pragmatic through hands-on implementation.
• Containerization & Orchestration:
  Validate containerization and orchestration approaches during architectural reviews; align implementations with golden paths.
• Data & Flow:
  Align integration and data‑flow patterns; recommend persistence choices (relational/NoSQL/search/cache) appropriate to use cases; ensure backup/restore considerations are in place.
• Delivery & Enablement:
  Create reference implementations and migration plans; mentor engineers and tech leads; raise documentation quality (C4, sequence diagrams, RFCs/ADRs, onboarding guides).
• Stakeholder Leadership:
  Translate business goals into architecture roadmaps with measurable outcomes; collaborate with product, platform/infra, and security teams.
• Security & Quality Fundamentals:
  Champion security by design (authn/z, least privilege, encryption) and the adoption of baseline quality gates within the SDLC by partnering closely with platform and security teams.

PROFILE
