Job Purpose The Senior Application Architect will support application architecture assessment, migration planning,

operational readiness, and transformation initiatives associated with enterprise application modernization and migration programs. The role will work closely with application, infrastructure, security, middleware, data,

reporting, and operations teams to support current-state assessment, target-state alignment, dependency management, integration planning, operational stabilization, and implementation oversight across enterprise application environments.

The role is expected to provide both strategic architecture guidance and hands-on technical expertise across enterprise application landscapes, service-oriented and event-driven architectures, middleware environments, reporting platforms, integration frameworks, database ecosystems, deployment models, resiliency considerations, and operational support requirements to ensure application dependencies, integration touchpoints, and implementation activities are aligned with agreed project timelines, operational objectives, and governance requirements.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead application architecture assessment, modernization planning, and target-state architecture alignment

activities across enterprise application ecosystems and distributed platform environments.
- Analyze current-state application architecture, integration dependencies, middleware interactions, batch

processing flows, reporting platforms, deployment models, operational dependencies, database ecosystems, and resiliency considerations to support migration and modernization planning activities.
- Define and support future-state application architecture aligned to cloud-agnostic modernization principles,

containerized deployment models, microservices-based architecture, event-driven integration patterns, API led connectivity, resiliency standards, scalability requirements, and operational supportability objectives.
- Provide architecture guidance and hands-on technical support for modernization initiatives involving

Microsoft .NET technologies, REST APIs, middleware platforms, event streaming frameworks, container orchestration platforms, enterprise databases, reporting systems, and enterprise integration platforms.
- Support design and implementation planning for cloud-enabled and cloud-agnostic platforms leveraging





technologies such as Microsoft Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, Kafka, API gateways, CI/CD pipelines, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, and enterprise integration frameworks.
- Coordinate with infrastructure, security, application development, DevOps, middleware, database, reporting,

and operations teams to manage architecture dependencies, deployment considerations, environment readiness, and operational alignment activities.
- Support application migration planning including deployment sequencing, dependency mapping, rollback

planning, database transition considerations, integration validation, operational readiness coordination, and implementation governance activities.
- Participate in technical troubleshooting, root cause analysis, operational stabilization, deployment validation,

database connectivity troubleshooting, and migration-related issue resolution discussions during implementation and cutover activities.
- Support architecture governance processes including technical review boards, implementation

walkthroughs, migration readiness reviews, environment validation discussions, and operational transition checkpoints.
- Contribute to enterprise modernization initiatives involving microservices transformation, API

modernization, event-driven integration adoption, infrastructure decoupling, containerization strategy, cloud enablement, database modernization, and platform standardization initiatives.
- Support architecture documentation activities including current-state architecture diagrams, future-state

blueprints, integration documentation, deployment architecture views, resiliency models, operational procedures, migration runbooks, database architecture considerations, and governance artifacts.
- Provide implementation oversight and technical coordination support during cutover, stabilization, and

hypercare phases to ensure alignment between application, infrastructure, middleware, database, and operational support teams.

patterns, interface management, and enterprise integration governance.
- Strong knowledge of MSSQL, PostgreSQL, database architecture principles, database integration patterns,

operational data management, and enterprise reporting ecosystems.
- Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, release orchestration, deployment automation

concepts, and operational transition frameworks.
- Knowledge of application resiliency models, disaster recovery concepts, failover mechanisms, high

availability architecture, and operational continuity planning.
- Ability to support technical troubleshooting, architecture governance, deployment coordination, operational

stabilization, database transition support, and migration execution support activities within complex enterprise environments.
- Strong stakeholder management, cross-functional coordination, governance support, dependency

management, and technical communication capabilities.
- Experience supporting enterprise transformation programs involving modernization, cloud enablement,

operational optimization, infrastructure decoupling, database modernization, and platform standardization initiatives.
