Specialist Software Architect

Join NICE Systems in Pune, Maharashtra, as a Specialist Software Architect with expertise in Java and Python. We are seeking a Senior Java + Python Architect with 10-14 years of experience to drive our technical vision and build polyglot, cloud-native architectures. You will translate complex business requirements into robust technical solutions, focusing on high-throughput, fault-tolerant applications using Microservices and Cloud-native patterns.

Key responsibilities include defining end-to-end system architecture, designing and overseeing the integration of Java-based backends with Python components for data pipelines, AI/ML, or automation. You will also establish and enforce architecture principles, coding standards, and security protocols, collaborate with stakeholders to align technical roadmaps with business goals, and mentor senior engineering teams through code reviews and architectural audits. This role will also lead legacy modernization projects, migrating on-premise Java applications to cloud environments.

Required qualifications include expert-level mastery of the Java ecosystem (Core Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate, multithreading) and strong hands-on Python experience with frameworks like FastAPI, Django, or data libraries such as PySpark, PyFlink, and NumPy. Extensive experience with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD automation is essential. You should have deep knowledge of data streaming technologies (Kafka, RabbitMQ), API Gateways, SQL/NoSQL databases, and expertise in system performance tuning and JVM profiling. Certifications like Oracle Certified Master (Java Architect) or AWS Certified Solutions Architect are highly desirable. A proven track record of delivering 2-3 large-scale enterprise projects as a primary Architect is expected.

NICE offers a dynamic, collaborative, and creative work environment with opportunities for continuous learning and career growth. We operate on a NiCE-FLEX hybrid model, allowing for 2 days in the office and 3 days of remote work per week.
