Microservices Architect

Job Title: Microservices Architect - SDR
Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE

We are partnering with a leading technology organization at the forefront of secure wireless and software-defined radio solutions. Their mission is to enable resilient, real-time, and secure communications for defense, aerospace, and critical infrastructure applications. As a Microservices Architect, you will shape the design and implementation of complex, microservices-based SDR systems used in high-stakes, mission-critical environments.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture Design and Microservices Development

• Design and develop secure, scalable microservices for SDR platforms
• Establish best practices and patterns for distributed, containerized applications
• Develop APIs and interfaces for cross-system interoperability

System Integration and Signal Processing

• Ensure seamless integration of software components with legacy and modern systems
• Implement communication protocols and processing logic for waveform switching and modulation

Security Architecture

• Design end-to-end secure system architectures (AES-128, AES-256)
• Enforce cybersecurity standards (NIST, FIPS, Common Criteria)
• Enable secure communication and over-the-air update strategies

Waveform Development

• Architect flexible, dynamic frameworks for waveform implementation
• Support signal processing modules for modulation, demodulation, and DSP algorithms

Deployment and Optimization

• Design CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and deployment workflows
• Optimize services for real-time performance on constrained and distributed environments

Technical Leadership

• Mentor engineering teams and lead architectural decisions
• Collaborate closely with hardware teams to ensure software-hardware integration
• Translate mission-level requirements into scalable software solutions

Experience:

• 8+ years of software development experience
• 5+ years in designing microservices for distributed systems
• 3+ years in SDR or wireless communications (e.g. SatCom, LTE, 5G)

Technical Skills:

• Strong proficiency in Java, Python, or Go
• Expertise with microservices frameworks (Spring Boot, Quarkus)
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, service mesh (Istio/Linkerd)
• Proficient in DSP, waveform development, and GNU Radio or equivalent
• Knowledge of container security, secure boot, and compliance-driven development
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, Ansible)

If you're excited to lead the development of next-generation SDR systems that push the boundaries of security, reliability, and flexibility - apply now and be part of a pioneering team driving the future of mission-critical communications.
