Job overview and responsibilities
The Principal Architect will be responsible for leading the architectural design and strategy of enterprise applications. The role will lead on the design, Implementation, Deployment, and maintenance. Work with other architects across the organization and at the enterprise level to build resilient, performant, which can handle multiple business capabilities and delivering value. Guide the team on best practices in building large scale systems.
Collaborate with domain architects, engineers, and leaders to develop technical standards, reference architectures, design patterns, opinion papers, and architecture decision frameworks that guide the design of technology solutions, especially those requiring integration of applications
Develop and manage a technical strategy and coordinates adoption
This role will be responsible to architect guidance that conveys best practices and common pitfalls for system design, infrastructure integrations, application development practices, and application runtime principles
Manage the architecture review process by creating validation checklists, reviewing architectural artifacts, and providing domain specific guidance to drive architectural alignment across the enterprise
Design and implement comprehensive end-to-end observability solutions that integrate with key monitoring tools across the technology stack, including
Network Node Manager
and
ThousandEyes
for network monitoring,
Quantum Metrics
and Dynatrace for application performance management,
BigPanda
for event correlation, and
ServiceNow CMDB
for IT service management, enabling a unified view for proactive monitoring and efficient incident management.
Apply architectural and engineering concepts to design solutions that meet operational requirements, such as scalability, maintainability, security, reliability, extensibility, flexibility, availability, and manageability. Define requirements and advocate for tooling improvements that reduce manual effort.
Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines and
observability tools
( Dynatrace , DataDog, Splunk) to ensure efficient software delivery and application reliability
Conduct research and develop Proof of Concepts on emerging technologies and implementation toolkits in support of anticipated development efforts and recommend technologies that functionally robust and cost effective
Research, enforce, and drive the adoption of design patterns throughout the enterprise and evangelizes best practices for solution design and development
Identify new technologies, industry trends, and best practices, which should be incorporated into BFS policies & roadmap
Plays a critical role in translating business strategy into technical strategy and defines end-to-end technology architectures that support the strategy
Fine-tune backend configurations to match customer traffic patterns, maintaining the stability and scalability of applications.
Configure applications to collect telemetry data, including metrics, logs, and traces.
