Technical Lead / Software Architect

Quick Facts

• Role: Technical Lead / Software Architect

• Focus: Architecture and delivery of a new insurance claims handling system

• Style: Distributed microservices + Agentic Coding

Description

Lead the design and build of a new system for handling insurance claims from scratch. You will prepare architectural documentation, define technical and delivery assumptions, and guide development through code reviews, mentoring, and architecture workshops. Ensure the solution is scalable, secure, reliable, and observable end-to-end, with proper integration and API governance using DDD and event-driven architecture.

Responsibilities

• Design the target architecture and create architectural documentation

• Build and evolve a microservices-based system using modern software engineering practices

• Conduct feasibility analyses and define technical/implementation assumptions

• Set the technology direction, co-create technology roadmaps, and maintain standard consistency

• Assess architectural risks and ensure scalability, security, and fault tolerance

• Estimate engineering effort and required resources for development and architecture

• Coordinate developers’ work; perform code reviews; mentor; run architecture workshops

• Oversee integration standards, API governance, and practical use of DDD and Event-Driven Architecture

• Ensure end-to-end observability and meet operational and security requirements

• Provide technical support through development, deployment, and stabilization

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years experience in system architecture design and supervising implementation

• Insurance domain experience, preferably claims handling

• Very good Java and Spring framework knowledge

• Experience designing scalable, secure, resilient distributed systems

• Strong understanding of architectural patterns and integration practices

• Experience with cloud solutions and infrastructure automation

• Practical knowledge of Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Event-Driven Architecture, and API governance

• Hands-on experience implementing and operating end-to-end observability mechanisms

• Ability to perform code reviews, mentoring, and architecture workshops

• Experience co-creating technology roadmaps and assessing risks

• English at least B2

Benefits

• Participation in a long-term, greenfield project building an insurance claims platform from scratch
