This one’s for architects who can connect the dots across apps, data, platform, infrastructure, and security, then actually build and guide teams through it. Big theme here: event-driven cloud architecture + streaming (Kafka) + APIs + microservices + Domain-Driven Design, with a bonus push into AI and agentic tech.

Real talk, backbone version: this is not “draw boxes and call it a day.” They want a builder-architect who can lead teams, defend decisions, and ship patterns that scale. If your resume doesn’t clearly show event-driven + cloud + DDD + Kafka + API/microservices, you’ll get screened out fast.
Happy Hunting,
