Senior Software Architect

About the role

Applied Materials is seeking an experienced Senior Software Architect to own the architecture of large‑scale, data‑dense frontend systems for its Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) products. You will design platforms that serve multiple teams, drive adoption, and mentor engineers while working on cutting‑edge rendering and real‑time visualization technologies.

Key responsibilities

• Own end‑to‑end frontend architecture for one or more SEM domains, including client applications, shared UI infrastructure, rendering, and real‑time data flows.
• Design and evolve large, complex frontend architectures built on React, TypeScript, and Redux, with deep expertise in rendering performance at scale.
• Architect a micro‑frontend ecosystem using Module Federation, defining boundaries, managing shared dependencies, and enabling independent deployment.
• Design and optimize data‑dense, continuously updating UIs (canvas/WebGL, large grids, visualization) backed by real‑time transports such as WebSocket or SSE.
• Collaborate with backend and algorithm teams on API design, data contracts, and performance trade‑offs.
• Lead frontend performance engineering, establish architectural governance, and mentor engineers across teams.

Required profile

• 10+ years of software engineering experience with at least 5 years in architecture roles for web clients.
• Proven track record designing large, complex frontend architectures and driving platform adoption across teams.
• Strong understanding of backend architecture, APIs, distributed systems, and ability to evaluate cross‑stack trade‑offs.

Required skills

• React, Angular or VueJS
• TypeScript and Redux (or similar state‑management libraries)
• Micro‑frontends and Module Federation
• Canvas/WebGL visualization and real‑time transports (WebSocket, SSE)
• Frontend performance engineering (profiling, measurement, optimization)
• Application state management at scale

What we offer

• Supportive work culture with opportunities for professional development and career advancement.
• Access to cutting‑edge technologies in machine learning, AI, and real‑time rendering.
• Collaborative and inclusive environment where architectural decisions are valued.
