As an Architect – Full Stack, you will lead the design of enterprise-scale, full-stack solutions that support digital and operational transformation across the organization. Working closely with product, engineering, data integration, security, and operations stakeholders, you will shape architecture decisions across Java microservices, modern frontend stacks, and backend services, including enterprise integrations. This role requires a strong blend of deep technical breadth and architecture leadership, with a focus on scalability, resilience, performance, and governed delivery at scale.

Strategy and Planning:
Define target-state architecture and modernization roadmaps across applications, integrations, and platforms, aligned to business outcomes
Establish enterprise architecture guardrails covering service design, API standards, integration patterns, and frontend engineering principles
Drive domain and boundary decisions for microservices, including ownership models, dependency strategy, and migration sequencing
Govern architecture decision-making through structured reviews, risk assessments, and technology rationalization across the portfolio
Identify opportunities to embed AI and machine learning capabilities across applications and platforms by assessing where predictive models, GenAI services or intelligent automation can enhance system behaviour and user experience
Set non-functional standards for availability, observability, performance, security, and data integrity, ensuring consistent engineering outcomes

Delivery and Execution:
Lead solution architecture for complex initiatives spanning frontend, backend, and integrations, ensuring cohesive end-to-end design
Produce reference architectures and implementation accelerators that teams can adopt consistently across products and programs




Architect integration flows using BODS with controlled data movement, scheduling discipline, lineage awareness, and failure handling
Guide delivery teams through architecture runway planning, design validation, and build-time decisions for predictable execution

Support and Enablement:
Establish architecture playbooks, reusable templates, and standards that reduce rework and improve delivery consistency Partner with security and platform teams to embed secure-by-design controls and governance into engineering workflows Strengthen operational readiness through production checklists, performance reviews, and release risk mitigation mechanisms
Enable cross-team alignment through clear documentation, decision logs, and stakeholder communication for complex dependencies

People Leadership:
Mentor developers and technical leads through coaching, reviews, and hands-on guidance to strengthen architecture quality
Build an architecture community of practice that promotes best practices, reuse, and consistent technical decision-making Foster a culture of accountability and continuous improvement through disciplined reviews and outcome-based engineering standards

Requirements

Education and Certifications:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline
TOGAF 9 or equivalent enterprise architecture certification is preferred

Required Experience:
10–15 years of overall experience in software engineering with ownership of enterprise-scale delivery and operational outcomes




4+ years of relevant experience in technical architecture across full stack systems spanning frontend, backend, and integrations
Proven experience designing and governing architectures for Java microservices platforms in enterprise environments
Experience leading modernization programs, including decomposition , migration sequencing, and controlled cutover planning across systems.
Experience working in a GCC setup with global teams, including stakeholder alignment across time zones and regions

Essential Skills:
Strong enterprise technical architecture leadership across frontend, backend, integrations, and shared platform capabilities at scale
Experienced designing Java microservices with domain boundaries, API contracts, resiliency patterns, and reliability-focused interfaces
Strong architecture governance skills driving structured design reviews, decision logs, risk management, and technology standardization
Experienced defining integration patterns using ETL/ELT with robust scheduling, failure recovery, data validation, and lineage controls
Experienced creating reference architectures, reusable accelerators, and templates that improve consistency across multiple delivery teams
Strong debugging mindset translating production learnings into architecture improvements, preventative controls, and operational readiness standards

Desired Skills:
Familiar with enterprise platform patterns for identity, secrets management, and policy guardrails across application ecosystems
Experienced mentoring architects and leads, building communities of practice, and scaling architecture capability across teams
Robust experience establishing engineering metrics and governance to improve delivery predictability, quality, and operational outcomes
