Key Responsibilities
1. Solution Architecture
Design & Strategy: Translate business requirements into robust technical architectures, defining the scope, tech stack, integration patterns, and HLD/LLD.
Decision Making: Evaluate build-vs-buy options and document architectural decisions, explicitly balancing trade-offs, assumptions, and risks.
Quality Attributes: Ensure all solutions meet non-functional requirements, including scalability, performance, security, and maintainability.
2. Delivery Leadership & Governance
End-to-End Ownership: Lead technical delivery through implementation, testing, and deployment, ensuring alignment with the agreed design.
Risk & Issue Management: Proactively identify, track, and mitigate technical risks; drive resolutions for complex engineering bottlenecks.
Quality Assurance: Maintain delivery excellence by establishing and enforcing code/design reviews and engineering standards.
3. Stakeholder Advisory & Communication
Technical Liaison: Serve as the primary technical point of contact for clients and internal stakeholders.
Growth Support: Partner with pre-sales and account teams to provide technical input for scoping, estimation, and SOW/proposal development.
Expectation Management: Translate complex technical concepts into clear, business-friendly insights to align expectations on feasibility, timelines, and trade-offs.
4. Team Leadership
Mentorship: Guide and develop engineers and junior architects to foster technical growth.
Continuous Improvement: Champion modern design patterns, DevOps best practices, and agile delivery methodologies to optimize internal processes.
Qualifications
Required
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, IT, or a related field.
Experience: 7+ years in software delivery, with at least 3 years in a solution architecture or tech lead capacity.
Cloud & Architecture: Proven track record with major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and modern patterns (microservices, APIs, event-driven systems).
Methodologies: Strong experience managing technical delivery within Agile, Scrum, or hybrid frameworks.
Soft Skills: Exceptional communication, problem-solving, and stakeholder management abilities.
Preferred
Certifications: Active cloud or architecture credentials (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Azure Solutions Architect).
Domain Expertise: Background in enterprise systems integration, consulting, professional services, or specialized industries.
DevOps Practice: Familiarity with CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and modern security frameworks.
Core Competencies
Technical Breadth: Highly credible when discussing abstract architecture or diving into hands-on delivery.
Extreme Ownership: Deeply accountable for the solution from initial concept to live production.
Pragmatism: Adept at balancing "perfect" design with real-world delivery constraints, budgets, and timelines.
Influence: Natural leadership skills that guide engineering teams and align stakeholders without relying on formal authority.
