Job Summary

Translate enterprise direction into executable end-to-end solution designs across one or more PODs and provide hands-on technical governance.

Responsibilities

- Solution Architecture: Create end-to-end solution designs covering application, integration, data, infrastructure, security, and operations. HLD; solution diagrams; architecture decisions. Design approval first-pass rate; delivery adherence to design. For every initiative
- Detailed Technical Design: Guide or review LLDs, component boundaries, data models, API contracts, error handling, and deployment topology. LLD review; API specifications; data and sequence diagrams. Design defects; rework caused by unclear design. Before build starts and during refinement
- Non-Functional Requirements: Define measurable performance, scalability, availability, security, supportability, and observability requirements. NFR catalogue; capacity assumptions; acceptance thresholds. NFR test pass rate; performance and availability targets achieved. During discovery and before release
- Engineering Standards: Define and enforce coding, integration, logging, exception handling, configuration, branching, and review standards. Engineering standards; checklists; reusable templates. Code-quality trend; standards compliance; escaped defects. Continuous
- Technical Leadership: Provide design guidance, mentor developers, unblock complex technical issues, and facilitate technical spikes. Technical recommendations; spike outcomes; mentoring notes. Blocker resolution time; reduced rework; team capability uplift. Daily / sprint cadence




- Cross-POD Dependencies: Identify interface and shared-service dependencies, agree ownership, sequencing, versioning, and backward compatibility. Dependency register; interface agreements; migration plan. Dependency delivery on time; integration defect reduction. Program increment and sprint planning
- Security by Design: Complete threat modelling, review identity and access, data protection, secrets, vulnerabilities, and security controls. Threat model; security control mapping; remediation actions. Security findings closed; no critical release blockers. Design and release gates
- Performance and Reliability: Review sizing, caching, concurrency, failover, retries, monitoring, and operational recovery patterns. Capacity model; resilience design; observability design. Load-test success; incident reduction; MTTR improvement. Design phase and pre-production
- Technical Assurance: Review code and implementation evidence for critical components; verify alignment between approved design and deployed solution. Assurance checklist; implementation deviations; technical sign-off. Fewer production defects; controlled deviations. Each release
- Vendor and Product Assessment:



Evaluate vendor designs, licensing constraints, product fit, extensibility, support, and integration impacts. Technical evaluation; gap analysis; recommendation. Fit-to-requirement; vendor issue closure; cost-risk balance. Procurement and change cycles

Key Decisions / Dimensions

- Technical architecture decisions and HLD sign-offs.
- Standard definitions for engineering practices, patterns, and component boundaries.
- Vendor/product technology stack fitment recommendations.

Major Challenges

- Managing cross-POD dependencies and ensuring standard compliance across agile teams.
- Balancing fast-paced delivery schedules with strict non-functional and security standards.
- Evaluating complex vendor products to ensure architectural fitness and extensibility.

Required Qualifications and Experience

a) Qualifications

B.E. / B.Tech / M.Tech / MCA / Post Graduates with 8-12 years of salesforce technology and architectural experience.

b) Work Experience

- Proven experience as a Technical/Solution Architect in a high-scale financial services or enterprise domain.
- Deep understanding of end-to-end architecture (Application, Integration, Data, Security, and Infrastructure).
- Expertise in designing resilient, highly available, and scalable microservices architectures.
- Solid technical leadership, mentoring abilities, and experience driving engineering governance.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills to manage cross-POD dependencies effectively.
