GoLang (Soln Architect) -(9 AM to 6PM) 

Experience: 10-12 Yrs 

Need a senior Solution Architect - No BGV - ok with consultants 

Own end-to-end solution architecture for a cloud-based cybersecurity platform operating at massive scale (millions of assets), spanning multiple product modules and a broad third-party integration ecosystem.

What They'll Do 

Define and own the overall solution architecture across multiple product modules (e.g., detection, response, asset inventory, reporting), ensuring they work as a coherent, scalable system rather than disconnected parts 

Design for scale: architecture that reliably handles millions of assets/endpoints with predictable performance, cost, and reliability as volume grows 

Lead cloud infrastructure architecture decisions, compute, storage, networking, multi-region/multi-tenant strategy, disaster recovery 

Architect and govern third-party integrations (SIEM/SOAR, ticketing, identity providers, cloud provider APIs, threat intel feeds, etc.), define integration patterns, data contracts, and reusable frameworks rather than one-off connections 

Create and maintain architecture roadmaps, capacity plans, and technical strategy aligned with product/business roadmap 

Set architectural standards and guardrails (scalability, security, data flow, API design) across engineering teams 

Act as the technical bridge between engineering, product, security, and infrastructure/DevOps teams 

Conduct architecture reviews, threat-model system designs, and identify scaling bottlenecks or single points of failure before they hurt production 

Own key non-functional requirements: performance, availability, security, cost-efficiency, compliance 

Support presales/enterprise customer conversations on architecture, especially for large or complex deployments 

Evaluate and select core technologies (data stores, messaging systems, orchestration, IaC tooling) 

What They Should Have 

8–12+ years in software/infra engineering, with 4+ years specifically in a solution/enterprise architect role 

Proven experience architecting systems at scale (millions of records/assets/events), not just designing on paper, but having operated such systems in production 

Deep cloud architecture expertise (AWS/GCP/Azure), multi-account/multi-tenant design, cost optimization, networking, IAM 

Strong grasp of distributed systems patterns: data partitioning, eventual consistency, event-driven architecture, caching strategies

Experience designing integration architectures (APIs, webhooks, message queues) across many heterogeneous third-party systems 

Security architecture fluency,this is a security product, so the architect must think adversarially about their own system 

Ability to produce architecture documentation (C4 diagrams, ADRs, data flow diagrams) that both engineers and executives can use 

Track record of cross-functional influence, able to align multiple engineering teams around a shared architecture without direct authority 

Cybersecurity domain knowledge (SIEM/EDR/CNAPP/CSPM concepts, threat detection pipelines), or equivalent adjacent domain with fast ramp-up ability 

Nice to Have 

Experience with specific integration ecosystems relevant to your product (e.g., Splunk, ServiceNow, Okta, AWS Security Hub) 

Familiarity with IaC (Terraform), service mesh, and Kubernetes at scale Enterprise/regulated-industry experience (SOC 2, FedRAMP, ISO 27001) shaping architecture decisions 

Prior experience scaling a product from ""hundreds of thousands"" to ""tens of millions"" of managed assets
