Solution Architect

Key Responsibilities:

Architecture & Platform Design:

• Define and own end-to-end solution architecture based on MACH principles:
• Microservices
• API-first
• Cloud-native
• Headless / Composable
• Design headless platform architectures integrating CMS (e.g., Drupal), BFF layers, API gateways, and domain microservices.
• Define clear system boundaries between:
• Experience layer (Web / Mobile / BFF)
• Integration & orchestration layer
• Domain services
• External systems
• Design secure, scalable, and observable architectures aligned with enterprise NFRs.

BPM & Orchestration:

• Lead the design of BPM-driven orchestration using tools such as Camunda.
• Define process choreography vs orchestration strategies across microservices.
• Design event-driven workflows leveraging Kafka / Pub-Sub with BPM coordination.
• Ensure BPM remains process-centric, not business-logic-heavy, with clean service ownership.
• Align BPM flows with long-running transactions, retries, compensations, and SLA tracking.

Integration & API Strategy:

• Define API-first integration standards (REST, async events).
• Establish API gateway patterns (Apigee or equivalent) for:
• Security
• Rate limiting
• Versioning
• Observability
• Define contract-driven development and schema governance.
• Guide teams on repository patterns, domain boundaries, and data ownership.

Governance & Technical Leadership:

• Lead architecture reviews, design walkthroughs, and decision forums with internal teams and clients.
• Establish and enforce architecture standards, reference models, and design principles.
• Review solution designs and critical code paths for scalability, resilience, and maintainability.
• Identify technical risks early and define mitigation strategies.
• Ensure architecture alignment across engineering, QA, DevOps, and product teams.

Cloud & Non-Functional Excellence:

• Design cloud-native deployments on AWS / Azure / GCP.
• Guide teams on:
• Performance optimization
• Security by design
• GDPR and data protection considerations
• Define observability standards (logging, metrics, tracing).
• Ensure infrastructure supports high availability, fault tolerance, and horizontal scaling.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent.
• 10–12+ years of experience in software engineering and architecture roles.
• Strong hands-on experience with MACH architecture in real-world enterprise systems.
• Proven experience designing microservices-based and event-driven platforms.
• Solid understanding of BPM engines (preferably Camunda) and orchestration patterns.
• Strong experience with REST APIs, async messaging, and integration patterns.
• Experience with API gateways and enterprise integration layers.
• Deep understanding of scalable system design, performance, and security best practices.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage senior technical and non-technical stakeholders.
