• Architecture Strategy – help guide Brightstar engineering and product towards technologies and an architecture that meets business needs, being responsible for key development decisions when necessary
• Product Architecture Ownership – Support the analysis and consolidation of requirements into technical solutions that inform product roadmaps and guide engineering development
• Focus on Delivery Optimization – Find opportunities for improvement that improve the implementation of architectural solutions. Contribute to evolving ways of working and refining deliverables to boost robustness and efficiency
• Apply architectural and system composition knowledge to support key decision-making in product and solution development. Communicate trade-offs clearly and help collaborators evaluate options based on cost, complexity, performance, and maintainability
• Practical Engagement – Actively contribute when needed to establish technical foundations or assist in resolving critical engineering challenges
• Effective Communication and Facilitation – Operate confidently in dynamic environments with diverse collaborators. Navigate differing perspectives, foster alignment, and drive strategic and architectural discussions toward actionable outcomes

• Bachelor’s degree in IT or relevant work experience, with 5+ years in business systems analysis or product owner role in enterprise
• A solid grasp of product management and agile software development techniques, with knowledge of contemporary product composition and management tools
• A solid understanding of software architecture and development principles, including patterns, modularity, scalability, and lifecycle management
• Strong knowledge of Java and its ecosystem, including common frameworks and technologies such as Spring, JPA/Hibernate, RESTful APIs, Maven/Gradle, and unit/integration testing frameworks
• Familiarity with frontend technologies (e.g., HTML, JavaScript, React/Angular) at a conceptual level to support end-to-end build discussions
• Familiarity with public cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, or GCP), including deployment models, native services, and architectural considerations for cloud-native systems
• Awareness of security principles, including data protection, authentication and authorization, secure communication, and secure system construction
• Conceptual understanding of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) (e.g., Terraform, ARM/Bicep, or CloudFormation) and DevOps tools and practices, such as CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions), containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes)
• Ability to travel (up to 15% of time)
• Ability to work across multiple time zones if required

Knowledge of TOGAF and Archimate frameworks is a plus
