Role

- Technical Architect/Senior Technical Architect /n Location:
- Gurgaon /n /n Exp:
- 10+ years /n /n Senior Technical Architect /n CMS & Digital Experience Platforms /n /n Role Context /n We are looking for a Senior Technical Architect to provide technical leadership on an established, large-scale enterprise digital program (a running account with multi-year continuity). This is a hands-on-enough architecture leadership role: you will own the technical quality of the platform end to end, drive estimation and solutioning, and act as the guardian of non-functional requirements — security, performance, accessibility, and analytics/observability — across every release. /n The right person is equally comfortable in an architecture review, an estimation workshop, and a client-facing solution conversation, and can hold the technical line on a mature codebase while continuously modernizing it. The role is not tied to a single account — you will be expected to bring architecture leadership across engagements as needs evolve. /n /n What You'll Own /n Architecture & Solution Design /n /n
- Define and evolve the end-to-end architecture for enterprise web, mobile, and CMS-driven applications on the account.

- Establish and maintain architecture standards, design principles, and governance frameworks.

/n

- Lead technical discovery, solution roadmaps, and modernization planning.

/n /n CMS & Digital Experience Platforms /n /n

- Architect enterprise CMS/DXP solutions, including headless and hybrid patterns.
