Solution Architect

Responsibilities:

• IT Architecture: Through cross-team collaboration, define the technology and architecture that connects solutions across products and platforms while guiding engineering teams in solution design and implementation.
• Solution Decomposition: Decompose complex solutions into manageable components to reduce cognitive load for teams and ARTs, leveraging existing internal and external capabilities to accelerate delivery and optimize costs.
• Solution Feasibility and Sustainability: Collaborate with architects and engineering teams to ensure solutions are feasible, scalable, maintainable, and aligned with enterprise architecture standards and best practices.
• Non-Functional Requirements: Own and govern non-functional requirements, ensuring solutions meet performance, scalability, security, reliability, maintainability, and compliance expectations.
• Delivery Approach: Partner with architects, engineering teams, and stakeholders to define appropriate delivery models, processes, tooling, and service design approaches.
• Technical Risks and Opportunities: Identify technical risks, trade-offs, dependencies, and continuous improvement opportunities while providing architectural recommendations.
• Emerging Technologies: Continuously evaluate industry trends, emerging technologies, AI capabilities, and internal platform innovations to drive technology modernization and strategic adoption.

Requirements:

• 10-15 years of IT experience with a strong Java technology stack.
• Proven experience as a solution architect/technical architect, designing and delivering enterprise-scale solutions.
• Strong expertise in Java/Python, Spring Boot, microservices, microfrontends, REST APIs, GraphQL, and distributed systems.
• Hands-on experience with GCP (preferred) or Azure/AWS, including cloud-native architecture, modernization, and digital transformation initiatives.
• Strong understanding of solution architecture, integration architecture, application modernization, scalability, security, performance, architecture governance, and enterprise integration patterns.
• Experience in solution decomposition, architecture governance, and designing reusable platform capabilities across multiple Agile teams and ARTs.
• Experience managing non-functional requirements, including scalability, resilience, security, observability, maintainability, and compliance.
• Experience collaborating with architects, engineering teams, product management, and business stakeholders to define solution feasibility and delivery approaches.
• Strong leadership, stakeholder management, communication, and mentoring skills.
• Experience evaluating emerging technologies, AI/GenAI opportunities, and driving technology standardization and innovation.
• TOGAF Certification: Mandatory.
• Cloud Certification: GCP (Preferred) / Azure / AWS.
