About the role

  • Discovery & design: Lead technical discovery, clarify requirements, map current→target state, and produce lean but complete architecture docs (diagrams, ADRs, integration contracts).
  • Hands-on solutioning: Define service boundaries, APIs, data models, and cloud infrastructure (IaC). Review code/PRs when it matters.
  • Delivery guidance: Set non-functional/quality attributes (security, performance, reliability, cost). Unblock teams, run technical spikes, and own the “how” on critical paths.
  • Client communication: Run workshops, present trade-offs, and translate tech to business outcomes. Be the trusted technical voice in the room.
  • Governance: Keep solutions aligned to standards, security, and budget; raise risks early with options.
  • Pre-sales support: Shape solution approaches and estimates; contribute to RFP/RFI/RFQ responses and client presentations.

Requirements

  • 6–10+ years in software engineering/architecture, including 2–4+ years as a Solution/Systems Architect or Tech Lead.
  • Technical breadth: Comfortable across modern web stacks (e.g. having experience with at least one of: Java/Node/Python/.NET + SPA frameworks), APIs, integrations, and data modeling.
  • Cloud fluency: Comfortable delivering architectures across (e.g. having Architect experience with at least one of: AWS/Azure/GCP) and experience with IaC, CI/CD, observability, and cost/perf trade-offs.
  • Architecture methodologies/styles: Monoliths (Modular/Distributed), Service-based & microservices, caching, authN/Z, and secure design principles.
  • Data basics: Practical relational and NoSQL modeling, ETL/ELT patterns, and how analytics fits (warehouses/lakes).
  • Communication: Clear writing, crisp audience-focused diagrams, confident client facilitation.
  • Nice to have: Pre-sales track record (RFP/RFI/RFQ writing, scoping, estimation, SOW inputs).
  • Nice to have: Experience with DevSecOps practices, cost optimization, and performance tuning.
  • Nice to have: Exposure to AI/ML or search/RAG integrations; data governance/quality.
  • Nice to have: Leading small squads and mentoring engineers/other architects.
