Job Title: Solutions Architect
Role Summary: Lead end‑to‑end design of scalable, secure, and cost‑effective cloud‑native solutions aligned with business goals and enterprise standards. Own architecture across application, data, integration, and security layers, driving best practices in AWS, Kubernetes/OpenShift, and DevSecOps.
Expectations: Deliver high‑quality, production‑ready architecture that meets performance, reliability, observability, and compliance targets. Proactively manage cost, risk, and security, while mentoring teams on architectural patterns and NFR implementation.
Key Responsibilities:
- Convert business and non‑functional requirements into comprehensive HLD/LLD, sequence diagrams, data models, API specifications, and integration contracts.
- Define and enforce reference architectures and guardrails for front‑end, back‑end, APIs, data, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Design for reliability, observability (SLOs, tracing, logging, alerting), performance, and resiliency (DR/BCP) on AWS/Azure and container platforms.
- Lead implementation of security‑by‑design (OAuth2/OIDC, SSO, secrets management, KMS) and secure coding standards.
- Review designs, code, pipelines, and security analysis results; drive remediation, performance tuning, and continuous improvement.
- Collaborate with product and PMO teams on build‑vs‑buy decisions, cost models, and capacity planning.
- Align with Enterprise Architecture, ensure compliance with SOC2, ISO 27001, PCI, GDPR, and support audit/risk assessments.
- Conduct PoCs/spikes, coach squads on architecture patterns, and champion reuse of reference components.
Required Skills:
- Deep experience (15+ yrs total solution design, 3–5 yrs architect on cloud‑native platforms) and AWS certification.
- Proficiency in commerce tools, cloud (AWS), Kubernetes/OpenShift, API gateways, Kafka, microservices, REST/GraphQL, messaging, caching/CDN, and RDBMS/NoSQL databases.
- Expertise in CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps), security protocols (OAuth2, SAML, TLS), and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, APM).
- Strong networking, performance engineering, and cost‑optimization knowledge.
- Excellent communication skills, capable of simplifying complex designs for diverse stakeholders.
Required Education & Certifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field (higher degree preferred).
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional (mandatory).
- Additional certifications preferred: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, TOGAF, CKA/CKAD, and security certifications (e.g., CCSP, Security+).
