Role: Solution Architect (Engineering Enablement & Delivery)
Job Type: Contract
Duration: 1 Year & Extendable (Auto-Renewal)
Location: Remote
Role Purpose
The Solution Architect serves as the technical cornerstone of the engineering organization, facilitating high-quality software delivery by providing architectural leadership, governance, and practical guidance across all stages of the SDLC, DevOps, QA, and integration. The position ensures that solutions are secure, scalable, compliant, and adhere to enterprise architecture and software engineering standards.
Key Responsibilities
1. Engineering Practice Enablement
Support SDLC & Agile Delivery
- Direct teams through each phase of the SDLC, ensuring alignment with established engineering processes.
- Contribute architectural expertise during sprint planning, backlog refinement, and definition of Done (DoD).
- Guarantee that technical requirements, dependencies, and non-functional requirements (NFRs) are properly reflected within user stories.
Enhance Code Quality & Standards
- Establish and enforce coding standards, architectural patterns, and secure coding practices.
- Drive continuous improvement in CI/CD processes, branching models, and repository governance—including automated deployments, release stability, and traceability.
- QA Alignment
- Collaborate closely with QA teams to ensure comprehensive functional and non-functional test coverage.
- Advocate for Test-Driven Development (TDD), static code analysis, API contract validation, and performance testing methodologies.
Architecture Governance & Reviews
- Conduct thorough architectural reviews to confirm compliance with enterprise standards, security protocols, regulatory requirements, and approved patterns.
- Identify and address architectural risks, recommending effective mitigation strategies.
- Prepare Architecture Decision Records (ADR), impact assessments, and technical feasibility studies.
3. Design & Technical Leadership
Solution Design
- Transform business requirements into robust technical designs and architectural frameworks.
- Define critical NFRs including performance, scalability, availability, resilience, and security.
- Design microservices, event-driven systems, APIs, and integration workflows.
- System & Integration Architecture
- Architect modern solutions utilizing best practices such as API-led integration, messaging, EDA, DDD, and SOA.
- Responsible for producing architectural deliverables, such as high-level and low-level designs (HLD/LLD), interface specifications, data models, sequence diagrams, component architectures, and deployment strategies.
Technical Assistance to Engineers
- Provide expert technical guidance throughout implementation phases.
- Simplify architecture using modular design, refactoring, and pattern-driven decision-making.
- Foster alignment between cross-functional teams including DevOps, Infrastructure, and Security.
4.Collaboration Across Technology Functions
Agile Product Teams
- Assist with story decomposition, creation of the architecture runway, and prioritization of technical debt.
DevOps & Release Engineering
- Partner with DevOps to enhance CI/CD pipeline efficiency.
- Oversee release cycles to ensure deployment readiness, rollback procedures, and overall reliability.
Infrastructure & Cloud Teams
- Evaluate platform implications relating to network, firewalls, compute resources, storage, and security zones.
- Confirm that deployment models comply with cloud governance and regulatory requirements.
5. Security, Compliance & Banking Domain Expectations
- Ensure architectural designs meet information security policies, data protection requirements, audit standards, and relevant regulations.
- Support secure architecture reviews focused on identity management, access controls, encryption, and threat modeling.
Required Skills & Knowledge
Technical Skills
- Languages & Frameworks: React, React Native, TypeScript, JavaScript, Next.js, Node.js (Express), Java (Spring Boot), C# (.NET, Dynamics CRM), IBM APIC, ACE, ESQL
