Joining Razer will place you on a global mission to revolutionize the way the world games. Razer is a place to do great work, offering you the opportunity to make an impact globally while working across a global team located across 5 continents. Razer is also a great place to work, providing you the unique, gamer-centric #LifeAtRazer experience that will put you in an accelerated growth, both personally and professionally.

Job Responsibilities :

You will be working with a team of software engineers to architect, build, and deploy containerized and/or serverless applications in the cloud to support Razer's ever-growing ecosystem of microservices, data pipelines, and AI workloads. You will be responsible for the high-level design, architecture, and technical leadership of a scalable, high-performance, cost-effective, secure, and maintainable system that meets both current and future business needs. You will play a critical leadership role in enhancing our existing single-region monolithic system into a distributed, cloud-native microservices architecture - multi-region deployments, data residency compliance, and modern service decomposition.

Essential Roles and Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and evolution of scalable, secure, high-performance, and distributed end-to-end system architectures and robust data synchronization with effective conflict resolution, aligned with business goals and technical standards.
  • Architect and drive the transformation of legacy monolithic systems into modular, domain-driven microservices deployed across multiple geographic regions.
  • Define and implement patterns for regional service deployment, traffic routing, failover, and disaster recovery to achieve low latency and high availability.
  • Design systems that comply with data residency and privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, PDPA) by ensuring user data is stored and processed within designated geographic boundaries.
  • Utilize containerization and Kubernetes to support scalable and reproducible deployments in a cloud environment (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, security, product, operations, and business stakeholders to ensure the architecture supports both functional and regulatory requirements.
  • Define best practices, technical standards, and review processes to ensure consistent and high-quality design and implementation across services and regions.
  • Provide architectural guidance, technical leadership, and mentorship to engineering teams to ensure alignment with architectural vision and system goals.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including PD, internal stakeholders to deliver high-quality solutions.
  • Stay current with emerging technologies in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, AI/ML, and web architecture, and evaluate their potential to improve the system design.
  • Promote a culture of innovation, technical excellence, and continuous improvement within the architecture and engineering organization.

Pre-Requisites :

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related technical field.
  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in an architecture or technical leadership role.
  • Proven experience in designing and implementing microservices-based architectures in cloud environments (e.g., AWS or GCP).
  • Demonstrated experience with migrating from monolithic to microservices architectures, including service decomposition and integration strategy.
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems, particularly multi-region deployments, including service mesh architectures, traffic routing, global failover strategies, latency optimization, regional scaling, and cross-region consistency.
  • Solid knowledge of data residency and data sovereignty requirements (e.g., GDPR, PDPA, CCPA), and experience designing systems that comply with such regulations.
  • Proficient in cloud-native technologies, including containers (Docker), Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines.
  • Strong expertise in distributed systems design, CAP theorem trade-offs, event-driven architecture, and eventual consistency models.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to align technical design with business objectives.
  • Ability to produce high-quality architectural documentation, including system diagrams, data flows, and decision records.
  • Familiarity with OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a plus.
  • Strong understanding of software development principles such as Agile and SCRUM.
