At TBAuctions, we’re building the future of online auctions with a modern, scalable, cloud-native platform. As our new Platform Architect, you’ll shape the foundation of our tech landscape; designing architecture that’s built to last, made to scale, and ready to evolve.
You’ll collaborate closely with product, engineering, and DevOps teams. You'll mentor developers, align squads on long-term decisions, and set the guardrails for reliable, secure, and high-performing systems. You don’t just draw diagrams, you make things real.
What you will do:
As our Platform Architect you’ll join a team working on platform-wide technical strategy and empower teams to make great engineering decisions. In short: you connect the dots, design the system, and make sure it works, now and in the future.

Collaborate with Product Managers to turn business needs into smart technical solutions
Integrate with DevOps on cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tooling
What you bring:
We’re looking for a Platform Architect who sees the big picture but doesn’t mind diving into details. Someone who enjoys coaching, challenging assumptions, and shaping a long-term vision with others.
Proven experience in, event driven programming, designing distributed, microservice-based systems (7+ years in engineering)
Deep knowledge of cloud architecture (Azure, AWS or GCP), containers, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure-as-Code
Experience in Kotlin, Java, Scala or C# and ideally background in functional programming
Strong communicator, comfortable leading cross-team technical discussions
A hands-on, pragmatic mindset—driven by outcomes, not complexity
