Principal Platform Architect

About the role
We are looking for a Principal Platform Architect to join us in Bengaluru. This is a hands-on technical role where you will help build and shape the architecture capability for our Spire product.

You will be as comfortable writing code and building infrastructure as you are setting architectural direction. The ideal profile is someone who has grown from a software engineering background into architecture, and who still wants to be hands on technically. You will guide architectural standards, support modernisation initiatives and ensure our platform remains modular, scalable and aligned with long-term business strategy. 

What you’ll do 

• Shape the architectural roadmap for the Spire platform while contributing to the broader direction of our product ecosystem  
• Define and embed platform-wide architecture principles across engineering, product and infrastructure teams  
• Design modular, component-based architectures that support multi-tenant SaaS and hybrid deployment models  
• Lead strategies to decompose monolithic systems into scalable, versioned and maintainable components
