Solution Architect

Architecture & Design: - Define end-to-end solution architectures for complex business initiatives. - Create scalable, resilient, and maintainable architectures using modern design principles. - Produce high-quality architecture artifacts including HLDs, solution designs, sequence diagrams, and deployment architectures. - Evaluate technology options and provide recommendations based on cost, risk, performance, and strategic alignment. Microservices & Integration: - Design and govern microservices-based architectures. - Define API-first solutions using REST, GraphQL, or event-driven patterns. - Implement integration patterns using Kafka, Pub/Sub, MQ, Event Streams, and service meshes. - Ensure loose coupling, domain-driven design, and bounded context principles. Cloud & Platform Engineering: - Architect solutions on AWS, Azure, or GCP. - Design cloud-native applications leveraging containers and Kubernetes. - Drive Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar technologies. - Ensure scalability, observability, resilience, and operational readiness. Security & Compliance: - Embed security-by-design principles into all solutions. - Implement IAM, OAuth2, OIDC, SSO, mTLS, encryption, and secrets management. - Conduct architecture risk assessments and threat modelling. - Ensure compliance with organisational security, risk, and regulatory standards. Data Architecture: - Design operational and analytical data architectures. - Define data models, data governance, lineage, and retention strategies. - Implement event-driven and real-time data processing architectures. - Work with relational, NoSQL, and distributed data platforms.
