Solutions Architect

You'll serve as the critical bridge between business stakeholders and engineering teams, owning end-to-end solution design from concept to completion. This is a strategic role where your architectural decisions directly shape the scalability, security, and long-term resilience of the organization's technology investments. You'll also mentor engineers and help establish the standards and patterns that guide how the team builds.

Application Architecture

• →Lead conceptual and detailed design of new applications, features, and integrations — including blueprints, diagrams, and models that guide development teams
• →Translate complex business needs and user stories into clear technical requirements and architectural components
• →Evaluate and recommend technology stacks, cloud services, integration patterns, and third-party tools
• →Design for high performance and horizontal scalability to support organizational growth
• →Ensure solutions adhere to standards for performance, security, scalability, and enterprise architecture alignment

Data Architecture

• →Design end-to-end data flows covering ingestion, transformation, storage, and consumption
• →Select appropriate data technologies (SQL, NoSQL, data lakes, data warehouses) and cloud services based on requirements
• →Define conceptual and logical data models that prioritize performance, maintainability, and alignment with solution needs
• →Define integration mechanisms — APIs, message queues, ETL/ELT — to connect solutions with enterprise systems, CRMs, and reporting tools
• →Design data security measures including encryption, access controls, and auditing to meet regulatory and organizational standards

Portfolio Management

• →Oversee the application portfolio, identify redundancies, optimize IT costs, and drive modernization efforts including application rationalization and technical debt reduction

Collaboration & Mentorship

• →Act as the primary technical point of contact for development, QA, and operations teams
• →Mentor engineering staff on architectural best practices and patterns

Risk Management

• →Identify architectural and design risks early and recommend mitigation strategies
• →Conduct technical reviews of in-flight projects

• 7+ years of experience in software development or engineering, including at least 3 years in Solution Architecture or Lead Technical Architecture
• Proven ability to design large-scale, complex enterprise systems across application, data, infrastructure, and security domains
• Expertise in public cloud platforms (Azure, GCP, or AWS) and cloud-native solution design
• Strong command of data modeling, networking, security principles, and the full SDLC
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to articulate technical decisions and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Experience with Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and DevOps practices
• Google Professional Cloud Architect, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or equivalent certification
• Strong problem-solving and research skills

Preferred

• Experience leading application rationalization, modernization, or replacement initiatives
• TOGAF or Zachman Certification
