Job Description

Tech Lead/Senior Software Architect

Alongside

Role Description We're hiring a senior Tech Lead / Software Architect to own the technical direction of the platform's backend architecture, with a specific focus on its actor-model distributed system (built on Microsoft Orleans). This is a fractional engagement — roughly half-time, spread across the full length of the project. Responsibilities — Architecture & Engineering - Own and evolve the architecture of a distributed, actor-model backend (Microsoft Orleans) handling real-time positioning and telemetry data at scale. - Set technical direction for the .NET backend: API design, data pipelines, service boundaries. - Design the path toward multi-node Orleans clustering as the platform scales. - Review code and provide hands-on technical guidance to backend and full stack engineers. - Identify and remediate security and architectural risk areas (authentication, data handling, system hardening). - Partner with data/telemetry and QA engineers on ingestion pipeline and analytics architecture decisions. - Advise on CI/CD, staging environment, and release practices. Responsibilities — Team Leadership & Communication - Act as engineering team lead: set priorities, unblock the team, and own technical quality across the engineering group. - Coordinate closely with the Project Manager on sprint planning, delivery status, and risk/blocker escalation. - Join client calls run by the project team, speaking directly to technical progress and tradeoffs when needed. - Mentor other engineers, raising the technical bar across the team. Qualifications - 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including senior/lead-level architecture responsibility. - Hands-on experience with actor-model distributed systems (Microsoft Orleans strongly preferred; Akka or comparable frameworks considered). - Strong backend expertise in C#/.NET — API design, services, data pipelines at scale. - Experience architecting systems that process real-time/streaming data (telemetry, sensor data, WebSockets). - Proven track record leading a small engineering team — code review, mentoring, setting technical direction. - Experience working closely with a Project Manager on planning and delivery, including joining client calls to speak to technical topics. - Strong written and spoken English — comfortable communicating with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders. - Security-conscious architecture practices (authentication, PII handling, system hardening). Nice to Have - Experience with GPS/BLE positioning or real-time geospatial systems. - Background in industrial, logistics, or IoT/telemetry domains. - Experience designing for multi-node clustering / horizontal scaling. - Cloud infrastructure experience (Azure preferred, given the .NET/Orleans stack). Requirements - Remote work (Vietnam-based). - Estimated project duration: 19 weeks. - Part-time schedule: 4 hours per day, aligned with Portugal business hours (WET/WEST). - Freelance / Service Agreement. - Hourly Rate: $20-$25.
