  • Solution Design and Architecture:
    • Apply industry-standard practices such as the C4 Model to design and document system architectures across multiple levels of abstraction (context, container, component, and code).
    • Create workflow diagrams, value stream maps, and documentation to establish clarity and alignment across teams.
    • Define target state architectures emphasizing services, APIs, integrations, and a unified data layer.
  • Modernization and Scalability:
    • Lead efforts to modernize legacy systems and workflows for large-scale organizations.
    • Develop smaller Proof of Concepts (PoCs) and Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) to validate ideas and guide development teams.
    • Carefully evaluate the options, trade-offs in aligning short-term and long-term objectives.
  • Cross-Team Collaboration:
    • Serve as an empathetic communicator who simplifies complex technical concepts for diverse stakeholders.
    • Actively collaborate with cross-functional teams to align architectural decisions with scalability, security, reliability, and cost-efficiency goals.
    • Energized by fast-paced environments, early-stage dynamics, and process-building.
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or related technical field.
  • Strong background in development, solution design and 10+ years of experience in solution architecture, technical architecture, and modernization efforts.
  • Proven experience in modernizing legacy systems and workflows for large-scale organizations.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop structured solution designs using templates, visuals, and narratives.
  • Deep expertise in system architecture design and documentation methodologies, including C4 Modeling or equivalent frameworks.
  • Hands-on experience with API design, microservices architecture, and cloud-native solutions.
  • Strong hands-on experience with modern programming languages and frameworks (e.g., Python, Java, Go, Node.js).
  • Strong knowledge of non-functional attributes like security, privacy, scalability, reliability, and cost optimization in enterprise systems.
  • Proficiency in SDLC tools (e.g., Jira, Git, Argo), data modeling, and automation workflows.
  • Strong understanding of DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Experience with Perforce, C, C++ (Nice to have)
