Sr. Solution Architect

Key Responsibilities

Architecture Solution Design

• Lead architecture definition for complex multiapplication digital ecosystems including SaaS products, custom web applications, integration services, workflow engines, and cloud-native platforms.
• Define end-to-end architecture blueprints covering business, application, integration, data, security, and infrastructure layers, aligned to enterprise architecture frameworks (TOGAF, ADM, etc.).
• Architect robust frontend frameworks (Angular, React, etc.), responsive web solutions, and UX-driven user journeys, aligned with standards found in existing full stack architect roles.
• Design scalable, high-performance, secure solutions leveraging modern technologies such as AWS, Azure, serverless, microservices, event-driven architecture, and enterprise integration platforms.
• Define future-state architecture roadmaps, conceptual diagrams, and transition plans consistent with industry-standard architecture practices (HLD, LLD, decision logs, risk catalogs).

Cloud Platform Engineering

• Provide expert guidance on cloud migration, modernization, and platform engineering, including infrastructure-as-code, DevSecOps, observability, API governance, and reliability engineering.
• Partner with client cloud and security teams to drive cloud adoption best practices across AWS, Azure, multiregion deployments, autoscaling, IAM, and compliance controls.

MarTech Digital Experience

• Architect digital experience solutions leveraging Adobe Experience Cloud (AEM), personalization engines, analytics, tag management, and multichannel marketing stacks.
• Work closely with content, UX, and SEO teams to design content models, headless architectures, and omnichannel delivery patterns, drawing from CMS solution architect responsibilities referenced in chat threads (Dewanganar in chat).

Technical Leadership & Governance

• Provide engineering thought leadership to both client and internal teams on best practices, frameworks, patterns, and reference architectures, consistent with the leadership traits in existing architect JD assets.
• Drive code quality, reusability, operational excellence, and architectural compliance across squads and product teams.
• Perform architecture reviews, technical assessments, and modernization evaluations; guide teams through critical design decisions.

Stakeholder Management & Communication

• Act as the primary technical interface with client senior leadership, business sponsors, architects, and engineering managers.
• Develop and deliver executive-level presentations, solution documents, and technology roadmaps with strong storytelling and articulation skills.
• Influence stakeholders through data-driven architecture choices, tradeoff analyses, and strategic recommendations.

Required Skills & Experience

Technical Expertise

• 15 years of total IT experience, preferably in Financial Services.
• 12 years of experience in engineering with 6 years in architecture roles (SaaS, full stack, and cloud-native).
• Background solutioning with MarTech, CMS platforms, and web front-end technologies, including Adobe Experience Cloud or equivalent.
• Should have leveraged different integration patterns connecting different SaaS, Cloud, and On-prem systems.
• Good understanding of security frameworks like Okta, SAML, etc.
• Deep expertise in web frameworks (Angular or React), Java, Node.js, RESTful services, microservices, event-driven systems.
• Experience integrating complex ecosystems using APIs, ESBs, iPaaS, and/or serverless integration patterns.
• Hand-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and CI/CD frameworks (Git, Jenkins, DevSecOps pipelines), aligned to engineering leadership expectations from full stack architect roles.

Architecture Frameworks

• Strong grounding in architectural patterns, solution evaluation techniques, system quality attributes, and non-functional requirement design.
• Preferred Certification: TOGAF or similar enterprise architecture frameworks like Zachman, SAFe Architecture.
• Supported by widespread internal use of TOGAF-aligned HLD structures in architecture community posts.
• Hands-on experience creating architecture documentation, diagrams, and review with clients' architecture teams.

Soft Skills

• Exceptional communication, executive presence, and ability to simplify complex ideas for non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong leadership, mentorship, and cross-team collaboration capabilities.
• Ability to lead ambiguous, multi-stakeholder, multi-vendor solution environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in large-scale enterprise digital transformation programs.
• Exposure to financial services, insurance, or regulated industries.
• Experience with data platforms, analytics, CDP, or ML-driven architectures.
• Prior experience in presales solutioning or writing SOWs/LOEs.

Why This Role Matters

This role is critical for shaping next-generation digital experiences and platform architectures for enterprise clients. With the increasing complexity of cloud, MarTech, and multiapplication ecosystems, the Sr. Solution Architect ensures technology decisions drive business value, scalability, and innovation.
