Role overview
We’re looking for a seasoned Solution Development Architect to design scalable, secure, and maintainable software solutions across multiple business domains. You’ll combine deep .NET echosystem expertise with hands-on leadership in cloud, integrations, and legacy modernization - while also spearheading AI across the organization and clients by identifying product opportunities to embed AI capabilities into products and establishing best practices for responsible and effective use.
Key Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end solution architecture for .NET-based platforms and products - define target-state architectures, reference patterns, and technical roadmaps aligned to business goals.
- Design scalable, secure, maintainable systems using appropriate architecture patterns (e.g., modular monolith/microservices, event-driven, domain-oriented design) and enforce sound engineering principles.
- Lead cloud architecture and engineering alignment (e.g., Azure/AWS/GCP): resiliency, identity/access, security-by-design, observability, and cost-aware architectures.
- Drive legacy modernization - assess current-state platforms, propose migration approaches, reduce technical debt, and ensure smooth transitions with minimal business disruption.
- Define integration strategy across internal and external systems (APIs, messaging, data flows), ensuring reliability, performance, and interoperability.
- Establish architecture governance - standards, reusable components, quality gates, automation, and best practices that improve delivery consistency and maintainability.
- Lead AI adoption and enablement - identify high-value use cases, embed AI capabilities into products, and implement responsible/secure AI practices and guardrails enterprise-wide
- Make high-impact technical decisions, align engineering efforts with business goals, and drive the evolution of both software architecture and AI strategy
Requirements
- Proven experience in solution/software architecture with a strong track record of making high-impact technical decisions and guiding teams across domains.
- Deep expertise in the .NET ecosystem (C#, modern .NET/.NET Core), including designing reliable, reusable, maintainable codebases and applying architecture patterns effectively.
- Strong distributed systems background - scalability, performance optimization, concurrency, reliability, and operational excellence (monitoring, incident learnings, resilience).
- Hands-on cloud experience (Azure/AWS/GCP) with modern engineering practices (CI/CD, containers, IaC, DevSecOps collaboration).
- Integration and data experience - API design (REST/gRPC), eventing/messaging, and working knowledge of relational and non-relational storage and data flows.
- AI/GenAI adoption experience - building or integrating AI features (LLMs/GenAI), understanding Responsible AI principles, AI security, and governance best practices.
- Strong communication and leadership skills - translate business needs into technical direction, mentor engineering teams, and influence stakeholders across product, delivery, and client organizations.
