About The Job:
We are seeking a hands-on Solutions Architect who blends strong software engineering expertise with customer advisory and vendor engagement experience. This role is responsible for designing and implementing end-to-end solutions while working directly with customers and third-party vendors to ensure successful, real-world delivery.
This is not a purely advisory, governance, or documentation-only role. The Solutions Architect is expected to actively contribute code, lead technical implementation efforts, and serve as a trusted technical advisor across customers and vendor partners.
Key Responsibilities
Architecture & Solution Design
• Design scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions that meet customer and business requirements
• Develop and maintain architecture diagrams, technical documentation, and solution blueprints
• Evaluate and select technologies, platforms, and vendor products based on technical and commercial trade-offs
• Define integration patterns and standards across internal systems and third-party solutions
• Design implementation architectures and solutions using advanced analytics and artificial intelligence
Hands-On Engineering
• Implement core components, integrations, and reference implementations in production systems
• Contribute production-quality code and participate actively in code reviews
• Support engineering teams with hands-on troubleshooting and resolution of complex technical issues
• Validate architectural decisions through real implementation, not just documentation
Customer Advisory & Engagement
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to customers, understanding their business objectives and technical constraints
• Lead technical discovery sessions, workshops, and architecture reviews with customer stakeholders
• Translate customer needs into concrete technical designs and actionable implementation plans
• Present and defend architectural decisions to technical and non-technical customer audiences
Vendor & Partner Collaboration
• Act as the primary technical interface with technology vendors and integration partners
• Evaluate vendor capabilities, conduct technical due diligence, and validate solutions through proof-of-concepts
• Collaborate with vendors to resolve integration challenges, performance issues, and deployment concerns
• Ensure vendor solutions align with architectural standards, security requirements, and delivery timelines
Collaboration & Technical Leadership
• Work closely with internal engineering, product, security, and delivery teams to ensure solutions are buildable and successfully delivered
• Mentor engineers and technical team members through hands-on collaboration
• Provide architectural leadership while remaining accountable for implementation outcomes
Required Skills & Qualifications
Experience
• 8+ years of relevant working experience in software development and solution architecture
Technical Expertise
• Strong experience in designing and building secure, highly-scalable, multi-tier architectures
• Solid understanding of cloud and on-premises integration patterns
• Experience with modern programming languages and frameworks
• Proficiency in at least one major cloud platform (Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud)
• Strong knowledge of integration patterns, APIs, and microservices architectures
Soft Skills & Competencies
• Excellent communication and presentation skills for both technical and non-technical audiences
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills that enable comprehension and resolution of complex business and technical issues
• Proven ability to build and maintain relationships with customers, vendors, and internal stakeholders
• Self-motivated with ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities
• Consultative mindset with customer-focused approach
• Strong mentoring and knowledge-sharing capabilities
Preferred Qualifications
• Deep expertise in .NET framework and application development
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Azure cloud platform
• Banking or financial services industry experience
• Experience with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and automation
• Relevant certifications (Azure, AWS, or other cloud/architecture certifications)
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field
What This Role Is / Is Not
This role is:
• Hands-on, implementation-focused, and delivery accountable
• Customer-facing and consultative
• Vendor- and partner-integrated
This role is not:
• A purely pre-sales or post-sales advisory position
• A governance-only or “diagram-only” architecture role
• Detached from day-to-day engineering execution
