We are seeking a tenured Application Architect to lead endtoend data solution design, define current and targetstate architectures, conduct schema reviews, and shape enterprise reporting. The ideal candidate drives data lineage and governance, modernizes reporting tools, and leads cloud migrations leveraging medallion architecture, robust dataquality frameworks, and complianceready designs. The role includes consulting on cloud modernization paths, ensuring regulatory reporting, advancing selfservice analytics, and reviewing reporting wireframes. Additionally, delivers scalable data warehousing and integration with strong data modeling and collaborating across architecture, engineering, and operations teams to build secure, reliable platforms that accelerate business insights.
Desired Skills and experience
- 8+ years of experience in application architecture and design, with deep expertise in .NET/C#, SQL Server, and integration technologies.
- Demonstrated experience modernizing legacy systems (monolithic architectures) to service-oriented or microservices architectures & and handling integration lifecycles for trading platforms with near real-time performance.
- Strong knowledge of containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, Databricks), and modern UI frameworks.
- Experience with messaging protocols (MQ, Kafka), API design, and secure integration patterns.
- Observability and Testing: should be able to define observability metrics, use tools like Dynatrace, guide testing teams, and ensure code and test coverage metrics meet necessary thresholds
- Familiarity with regulatory and compliance requirements in banking (BCBS239, DORA).
- Excellent documentation, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
- TOGAF, AWS/Azure Architect, or similar certifications preferred.
Key Responsibilities
- Drive technical assessments, recommend modernization patterns (e.g, microservices, containerization, micro-frontends), and ensure robust integration across the ecosystem.
- Lead the assessment of current-state architectures for legacy applications and data warehouse, including integration patterns, protocols (MQ, FTP, APIs), and dependencies
- Define target-state architectures, including modularization of .NET codebases, containerization strategies, and micro-frontend approaches.
- Develop reference architectures, context/container/component/data-flow diagrams, and integration topologies.
- Evaluate and recommend cloud adoption options (on-prem vs. cloud/Databricks), ensuring future-proof and cost-effective solutions.
- Collaborate with business analysts, developers, UX leads, and data architects to ensure cohesive design and implementation.
- Establish non-functional requirements (throughput, latency, RPO/RTO), and ensure architecture meets performance, resilience, and compliance standards.
- Guide code analysis, configuration management, and plug-and-play design recommendations.
- Support DevOps/DataOps enablement, including CI/CD, test automation, and environment blueprinting.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to development teams.
