Remote Java Solutions Architect

Drive Change That Matters—From Anywhere

What if you could architect cloud-first Java solutions that help businesses scale—and do it all from your favorite workspace? Here, your design choices become the backbone of products relied on by tens of thousands every single day. You won’t just follow blueprints. You’ll draw them, improve them, and guide teams through each phase of transformation.

Why This Role Is Different

Imagine bringing together distributed systems expertise and a creative spark—solving technical puzzles in ways that make complex concepts easy for clients, engineers, and stakeholders. Here, you’re not boxed in by process. We give you room to experiment, iterate, and refine until your architecture feels bulletproof and elegant.

How Your Impact Echoes

Every solution you craft serves real users at scale. Perhaps you’re collaborating with product managers to design microservices that enable seamless onboarding for global clients. Maybe your Java frameworks help launch next-gen features faster and with fewer bugs. Either way, your fingerprints are everywhere innovation happens.

Annual salary: $150,000.

Key Responsibilities: From Vision to Reality

• Shape long-term technical roadmaps—your vision sets the standard for scalable, future-proof systems.
• Transform stakeholder requirements into technical specifications that simplify execution for developers and delight end-users.
• Collaborate across engineering, product, and QA teams, building bridges that keep everyone aligned—whether it’s during an early-morning Zoom or a late-night Slack brainstorm.
• Guide end-to-end system architecture for new and legacy Java applications, ensuring performance, reliability, and robust security.
• Lead design sessions that challenge assumptions and unlock better pathways, from containerization to cloud deployment.
• Utilize data from system monitoring and feedback loops to proactively resolve bottlenecks, making each iteration more efficient than the previous one.
• Mentor engineers at every level, helping them see not just the “how” but the “why” behind every architectural decision.
• Evaluate new tools and frameworks—your insights will influence the tech stack that drives our future growth.

The Tools and Tech You’ll Shape

You’ll architect with Java at the core, but your canvas includes Spring Boot, Docker, Kubernetes, and microservices orchestration. You’ll model data in PostgreSQL, manage distributed caches, and refine API integrations. Our remote-first tech stack keeps you connected—Jira for sprint reviews, Confluence for documentation, and GitHub for seamless collaboration.

What Makes You Shine

You distill the complex into the actionable—whether mapping out migration plans or breaking down containerization strategies for junior engineers. When stakeholders need clarity, you provide it. When priorities shift, you adapt, focusing intensely while maintaining a clear view of the big picture. Your code reviews are respected for their insight, not just their rigor.

You simplify intricate ideas—whether it’s over Zoom, in a whiteboard session on Miro, or in a crisp architecture diagram shared with the team. Your documentation sets the gold standard for clarity and thoroughness, accelerating onboarding for new engineers and supporting smooth feature lifecycle management.

What Success Looks Like

You’ll see your impact everywhere: reduced system downtime, faster release cycles, and teams that operate with confidence because they know the architecture is strong. Our feedback loops close fast—if there’s a better way, you’ll surface it. If a process feels outdated, you’ll lead the effort to modernize it.

You’ll partner with design, engineering, and support to build unified solutions, ensuring every user-facing feature is backed by an architecture that lasts. We move quickly, but you’ll always have space to focus intensely, strategize, and deliver your best work.

Your Background: More Than a Checklist

If you’ve led distributed teams through architectural overhauls, designed Java-based platforms for scale, or implemented CI/CD pipelines that brought deployment time down from days to hours, you’ll feel right at home. Maybe you’ve spoken at conferences or published technical articles—that thought leadership is welcome here. But more importantly, you ask great questions, challenge assumptions, and genuinely care about your craft and your teammates.

• Deep experience designing Java solutions (microservices, APIs, cloud migration, or similar)
• Real-world use of Spring Boot, REST, Docker, Kubernetes, and distributed systems
• Passion for remote collaboration tools—Notion, Slack, Zoom, GitHub Actions, etc.
• History of guiding system performance improvements and roadmap prioritization
• Empathy for users, engineers, and business stakeholders alike

What It’s Like Working Here

We’re fully remote by design. Work in a way that brings out your best—whether you’re most productive before sunrise or after the world goes quiet. Our teams span time zones and backgrounds, bringing together diverse perspectives to solve meaningful challenges. You’ll find transparency, autonomy, and opportunities for growth every single day.

Expect fast-paced priorities but a culture that values thoughtful and well-documented solutions. Here, sprint planning means you have a real say, and retrospectives actually shape our future process. We’re united by a desire to learn, build, and leave things better than we found them.

Ready to Architect the Future?

If you’re energized by solving technical puzzles at scale, ready to drive meaningful change, and passionate about making architecture accessible, we want to meet you. Let’s build something purposeful together—your ideas, leadership, and vision will shape what’s next.
