Two Six Technologies is looking to add a Principal Software Architect to our team building a next generation networking situational awareness and command and control platform. The candidate should have demonstrated experience creating back-end architectures for global-scale, high availability systems that integrate with heterogeneous third-party data sources and services, some of which may provide high-volume, high-throughput data. Ideally the candidate would also be experienced in architecting systems that allow for low-latency data retrieval and processing (using different resource scaling and parallelization strategies when necessary), data flow configuration/prioritization, shared tenancy by multiple users/user groups, and situations where data from disparate offline deployments must be merged together.The architect should have a deep understanding of relevant programming languages (Python 3 at a minimum, Go desired), different databases (SQL, NoSQL, etc.) and tradeoffs between them, data model and ontology development, API design and development, microservice design and development, and different forms of service-to-service communication (message queues, event streams, etc.). The candidate should be experienced leading a team of engineers and creating engineering-level documentation (roadmaps, implementation plans, etc.) as well as presentations to less technical audiences.
