## Description

Join Razer, a global gaming organisation, on a mission to revolutionize gaming worldwide. You will work with a team of software engineers to architect, build, and deploy containerized and/or serverless applications in the cloud to support Razer's growing ecosystem of microservices, data pipelines, and AI workloads.

**Job Responsibilities**: You will be responsible for the high-level design, architecture, and technical leadership of a scalable, high-performance, cost-effective, secure, and maintainable system that meets both current and future business needs. Key responsibilities include:

- Leading the design and evolution of scalable, secure, high-performance, and distributed end-to-end system architectures and robust data synchronization with effective conflict resolution.

- Architecting and driving the transformation of legacy monolithic systems into modular, domain-driven microservices deployed across multiple geographic regions.

- Defining and implementing patterns for regional service deployment, traffic routing, failover, and disaster recovery to achieve low latency and high availability.

- Utilizing containerization and Kubernetes to support scalable and reproducible deployments in a cloud environment (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

- Collaborating closely with engineering, security, product, operations, and business stakeholders to ensure the architecture supports both functional and regulatory requirements.

- Defining best practices, technical standards, and review processes to ensure consistent and high-quality design and implementation across services and regions.

- Providing architectural guidance, technical leadership, and mentorship to engineering teams to ensure alignment with architectural vision and system goals.

- Staying current with emerging technologies in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, AI/ML, and web architecture, and evaluating their potential to improve the system design.

**Pre-Requisites**:

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related technical field.

- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in an architecture or technical leadership role.

- Proven experience in designing and implementing microservices-based architectures in cloud environments (e.g., AWS or GCP).

- Demonstrated experience with migrating from monolithic to microservices architectures, including service decomposition and integration strategy.

- Strong understanding of distributed systems, particularly multi-region deployments, including service mesh architectures, traffic routing, global failover strategies, latency optimization, regional scaling, and cross-region consistency.

- Proficient in cloud-native technologies, including containers (Docker), Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines.

- Strong expertise in distributed systems design, CAP theorem trade-offs, event-driven architecture, and eventual consistency models.

- Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to align technical design with business objectives.

- Ability to produce high-quality architectural documentation, including system diagrams, data flows, and decision records.
