Solution Architect

Experience Level: 12-17 years

Job Description:

We are looking for a solution architect who will play a critical role in designing, governing, and evolving end-to-end technical solutions aligned with business goals. The solution architect will work closely with business stakeholders, product managers, engineering teams, and external partners to ensure scalable, secure, and high-performing solutions across platforms.

This role bridges business requirements and technical implementation, ensuring architectural integrity while enabling delivery velocity.

Key Responsibilities

1. Solution Design & Architecture

Own the end-to-end solution architecture for assigned initiatives, from concept to production.

• Translate business and functional requirements into scalable, resilient, and cost-effective technical designs.
• Define architecture blueprints, high-level designs (HLDs), and low-level designs (LLDs).
• Ensure solutions align with enterprise architecture standards, security policies, and compliance requirements.

2. Stakeholder Collaboration

Act as a trusted technical advisor to business, product, and engineering stakeholders.

• Collaborate with product owners, delivery managers, and engineering leads to shape technical roadmaps.
• Participate in solution reviews, architecture boards, and technical decision forums.

3. Technology & Platform Expertise

Evaluate and recommend appropriate technology stacks, frameworks, and platforms.

• Drive adoption of cloud-native, microservices, API-first, and event-driven architectures where applicable.
• Guide teams on integration patterns, data flows, and system interoperability.

4. Governance & Quality Assurance

Ensure architectural decisions support non-functional requirements such as performance, scalability, availability, and security.

• Review solution implementations to ensure adherence to approved architecture and best practices.
• Identify technical risks early and propose mitigation strategies.

5. Delivery Support

Support engineering teams during development, testing, and deployment phases.

• Resolve complex technical issues and provide architectural guidance during execution.
• Work closely with DevOps and SRE teams to ensure production readiness.

6. Continuous Improvement

Contribute to evolving architecture standards, reference architectures, and design patterns.

• Stay current with emerging technologies and assess their relevance to the organization.
• Mentor senior engineers and help uplift overall architectural maturity.
