App - Solution Architect with Migration and Modernization

Role & responsibilities

We are seeking a highly experienced Solution Architect with a strong background in legacy application modernization, cloud migration strategies, and deep hands-on experience with modern DevOps tools. You will lead the end-to-end journey from assessing current-state infrastructure to designing and implementing cloud-native target architectures (re-platforming/refactoring) to maximize scalability, security, and performance

Preferred candidate profile

• Assessment & Strategy: Conduct deep-dive assessments of legacy applications, identifying dependencies, technical debt, and risks. Define 7R migration strategies (Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, etc.).
• Target Architecture Design: Create architectural blueprints, reference models, and integration patterns for cloud-native applications using microservices, containers, and serverless technologies.
• Modernization Execution: Guide engineering teams through the modernization of monoliths into microservices, implementing API-first approaches.
• Tooling & Automation: Define and implement Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation) and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) to automate deployment.
• Migration Implementation: Leverage tools like AWS Migration Hub, Azure Migrate, or Google Cloud Migrate to execute data and workload migrations with minimal downtime.
• Stakeholder Management: Collaborate with business leaders, CIOs, and technical teams to align cloud strategies with business goals, presenting trade-offs and cost optimizations (FinOps).
• Security & Compliance: Ensure modernized applications adhere to security best practices (Identity & Access Management, Encryption, Secrets Management) and regulatory standards.
• Mentorship: Mentor junior engineers and developers on cloud-native design principles and best practices.
