About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the practice of Solutions Architecture across a portfolio of engagements: talent, methods, risk posture, and technical strategy aligned to business outcomes—especially as clients adopt Intelligent Applications and LLM platforms.
Set what “good solutioning” looks like—review models, accelerators, risk frameworks—and represent architecture tradeoffs to executive stakeholders.
Contribute to highest-risk programs directly, primary accountability is scaling the capability.
Set practice strategy: capability model, hiring bar, leveling alignment, onboarding, communities of practice.
Establish portfolio governance: architecture review boards, exceptions, security/reliability minimums, vendor/architecture risk processes.
Grow talent: performance coaching, sponsorship, succession planning for Staff/Principal paths.
Define reusable assets: reference architectures, decision templates, NFR catalogs, threat modeling kits, engagement playbooks.
Partner with sales/delivery leadership on technical win strategy, estimates risk ranges, and delivery feasibility.
Drive LLM architecture governance with measurable controls: policy, evaluations, monitoring, incident readiness, vendor/model posture.
Align CI/CD, observability, and platform standards across engagements with enterprise constraints.
