JetBrains - Software Architect (Product Architecture, JetBrains Cloud Platform)

• Own the architecture of a specific product/domain within JetBrains Cloud Platform and evolve it over time. • Translate product and domain requirements into clear architectural designs and implementation approaches. • Define service boundaries, domain models, data flows, and integration contracts aligned with platform standards. • Drive key architectural decisions and trade-offs in your area (e.g., API design, persistence, reliability, performance, migration paths). • Ensure your domain architecture supports scalability, reliability, and observability from the outset. • Review and validate architectural designs within your domain/team, raising quality and consistency. • Collaborate with platform architects and other domain owners to align on cross-cutting decisions and shared interfaces. • Work closely with senior and staff engineers to clarify requirements, reduce ambiguity, and support execution. • We are looking for someone who: • Has strong experience in software engineering and system design, with a track record of working on complex systems. • Has experience owning architecture within a product or domain, including balancing delivery needs with long-term sustainability. • Is comfortable aligning product needs with platform capabilities and constraints (and negotiating trade-offs when needed). • Can facilitate architectural decision-making inside a team and across partner teams. • Is comfortable working in an environment where many processes and standards are still being formed. • Thinks in long-term horizons, designing for evolution rather than one-off implementations. • We’d be particularly thrilled if you: • Have experience designing product architectures that operate in cloud environments and integrate with multiple systems. • Are strong at reasoning about architectural trade-offs in context (time-to-market vs correctness, flexibility vs complexity, etc.). • Enjoy helping teams converge on good solutions through collaboration, not enforcement. • We process the data provided in your job application in accordance with the Recruitment Privacy Policy.
