We are looking for an experienced Software Architect (Backend & APIs) to join an ambitious greenfield initiative in the financial sector.
The project focuses on designing and building from scratch a modern, scalable analytics and research platform that will support the complete lifecycle of premium financial content – from creation and management to publication, distribution, and consumption analytics.
The platform will initially serve institutional clients, with a planned expansion toward retail users in later phases.
This is a high-impact role for someone who enjoys solving complex architectural challenges, designing systems for scale, and shaping technical direction from the ground up.
You will help create a platform that:
streamlines and automates financial research workflows
structures and manages large volumes of analytical content
enables secure and scalable content distribution
provides advanced insight into user engagement and content consumption
supports future scalability across multiple client segments

Java 21, Spring Boot
REST APIs / OpenAPI
PostgreSQL
Docker, Kubernetes, GKE
Google Cloud Platform
API Gateway / service mesh solutions
Event-driven integrations
Authentication & authorization standards (OIDC / SSO / JWT)
Observability and monitoring tooling
We value strong understanding of modern architectural approaches such as modular systems, domain-oriented design, contract-first APIs, event-driven patterns, and cloud-native distributed systems.
Tasks
Design and evolve scalable backend and API architectures for cloud-native and hybrid environments
Define system architecture with strong focus on scalability, maintainability, resilience, and security
Design public and internal APIs, including versioning strategy, contracts, backward compatibility, and integration standards
Collaborate with sales and delivery teams during technical discovery, estimation, and solution planning
