Role Summary

We are seeking a Senior Solution Architect to lead the design of scalable, secure, and cost-effective solutions across cloud and enterprise systems. Acting as the bridge between business objectives and engineering execution, you will translate requirements into robust architecture blueprints, define technical standards, and guide delivery teams from design through production. This role combines strategic technical leadership with hands-on depth; you will make high-impact technology decisions, champion best practices, and ensure solutions meet demanding non-functional requirements around performance, security, resilience, and cost.

Key Responsibilities

Define end-to-end solution architectures that align with business goals, enterprise standards, and long-term technology strategy.
Translate business and functional requirements into clear technical designs, high-level and low-level design documents, and architecture blueprints.
Evaluate, recommend, and select technologies, frameworks, and platforms, including build-vs-buy and cloud-provider decisions.
Design cloud-native, microservices, event-driven, and API-first architectures for scalability and maintainability.
Define and govern non-functional requirements - scalability, performance, availability, security, resilience, and cost optimization.
Lead architecture and design reviews, establish coding and design standards, and drive technical governance across teams.
Partner with product managers, business stakeholders, security, and infrastructure teams; present architecture and trade-offs to senior leadership and clients.
Provide hands-on technical leadership and mentorship to development teams, unblocking complex engineering challenges.
Build proofs-of-concept and prototypes to validate architectural approaches and de-risk delivery.
Embed security and compliance by design across the solution lifecycle.
Champion DevOps, CI/CD, and Infrastructure-as-Code adoption to improve delivery speed and quality.
Operate within Agile/Scrum delivery models, contributing to estimation, roadmap planning, and iterative delivery.
