Responsibilities

• Define end‑to‑end solution architectures aligned with enterprise strategy, ensuring scalability, security, performance, and maintainability across the solution lifecycle.
• Own key architectural decisions, balancing business value, cost efficiency, and long‑term sustainability (capital stewardship).
• Assess build vs buy vs reuse options, ensuring optimal trade‑offs between cost, complexity, time‑to‑market, and risk.
• Develop architecture artifacts (diagrams, integration patterns, data flows, decision records) and ensure clear documentation for long‑term maintainability.
• Guide and influence development teams to adopt architectural principles, standards, and best practices without impacting delivery velocity.
• Lead architecture reviews and ensure compliance with enterprise standards, security requirements, and governance processes.
• Evaluate technical feasibility and perform cost/benefit analysis for new initiatives and enhancements.
• Identify and manage technical risks, dependencies, and technical debt across the solution lifecycle.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders, product owners, and engineering teams to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Support modernization and transformation initiatives, including migration of legacy systems to cloud‑native architectures.
• Ensure operational readiness, resiliency, and supportability of solutions in production environments.

Required Technical Skills

• Strong expertise in Azure cloud architecture, including design of secure, scalable, and highly available solutions (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS).
• Deep knowledge of Azure core services such as compute, storage, networking, identity (Azure AD), integration services, and data platforms.
• Proven experience with cloud architecture patterns: microservices, event‑driven architecture, API‑led integration, and distributed systems.
• Strong understanding of resiliency and DR patterns (high availability, failover strategies, backup and recovery).
• Experience evaluating and implementing PaaS vs IaaS vs SaaS solutions based on cost, operability, and risk considerations.
• Experience designing complex enterprise environments with multiple interacting systems, including transactional applications, data flows, and integration layers (e.g., APIs, messaging, system-to-system integrations), ensuring consistency, scalability, and maintainability end-to-end.
• Experience modernizing legacy systems and leading cloud migration and refactoring initiatives.
• Knowledge of DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and automation.
• Strong integration expertise (APIs, messaging, data integration patterns).
• Ability to produce and maintain architecture documentation and decision records.

Required Functional / Domain Knowledge

• Strong understanding of enterprise architecture principles and alignment with business strategy.
• Experience working in complex enterprise environments with multiple systems, integrations, and cross‑team dependencies.
• Ability to balance short‑term delivery needs vs long‑term architecture sustainability and TCO.
• Proven capability to operate in environments with competing priorities and resource constraints.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, including the ability to explain and defend architectural decisions.
• Experience influencing teams and driving technical alignment across distributed engineering teams.
• Demonstrated leadership in mentoring engineers and improving team technical maturity.
• Ability to manage conflict between business priorities and technical best practices, driving balanced outcomes.
• Experience working in Agile delivery models, supporting both architecture strategy and delivery execution.
