Senior Software Architect
We are seeking a
Senior Software Architect
to lay the architectural foundation for a critical enterprise modernization initiative. This role is
not a proposal
and
not a delivery build —it is a hands‑on architectural engagement to define the future‑state platform, migration strategy, and standards that will enable a development team to execute with confidence.
This project has a
strong architecture‑first approach , executive pressure to succeed, and a clear mandate to avoid “big bang” rewrites.
The system supports a
mission‑critical, highly visible, and deeply meaningful end‑to‑end process , where stability, performance, and reliability are non‑negotiable.
Project Context
Modernizing a large, legacy enterprise system.
Batch‑based processing (twice daily) that must evolve toward
real‑time and messaging‑based flows .
The business process itself remains largely unchanged—the focus is on: Stability, Scalability, Performance, Maintainability, and Delivery predictability.
Phase 1 Engagement (First 90 Days) Define a
complete architectural blueprint
that enables systematic modernization—without premature deep builds or over‑engineering.
This phase is about
clarity, alignment, and risk reduction , not writing production code.
Key Objectives
Establish the
future‑state architecture
aligned with enterprise standards.
Design a
phased migration roadmap
(no big‑bang cutover).
Define: architecture patterns, development standards, infrastructure approach, observability and resiliency strategies, improve estimation accuracy for future phases, identify risks, dependencies, and integration points early, and enable a 7‑person engineering team to begin execution.
Technology recommendations (Java & AWS strongly preferred).
Frontend direction (likely React).
Messaging and real‑time processing approach.
Migration roadmap with clearly chunked phases.
Inputs to accurate delivery estimates.
Identification of: key dependencies, integration points, technical and organizational risks, required skill sets and resources.
Required Experience & Skills
Senior‑level Software Architect
experience (enterprise scale).
Proven success modernizing
large, legacy systems .
Experience transitioning from batch to
event‑driven / real‑time architectures .
Ability to work closely with an internal architect who knows the current systems.
Strong communication and influence skills.
Ability to mentor development teams and elevate architectural maturity.
Location: Salt Lake City Metropolitan Area.
