Technical Solutions Architect

The Technical Solution Architect is responsible for designing and implementing scalable, secure, and high-performing technology solutions that meet business and technical requirements. This role focuses on translating business needs into technical architecture, supporting development teams in delivering reliable systems, and ensuring alignment with established architectural standards and best practices. The architect will work closely with engineering, product, and infrastructure teams to design solutions using modern architectural approaches such as Microservices, DevOps practices, and cloud-based environments (Azure/AWS), ensuring solutions are efficient, secure, and maintainable.

The difference you will make:

• Design and implement scalable and reliable technical solutions aligned with business requirements and organizational architecture standards.
• Collaborate with product, engineering, and infrastructure teams to translate functional requirements into technical architecture and solution designs.
• Contribute to the design of modern architecture patterns, including Microservices architecture, Event-driven architecture, and Distributed systems.
• Support technology evaluations and recommend tools, frameworks, and integration approaches that enhance system performance and scalability.
• Develop and maintain architectural documentation including solution diagrams, integration flows, and technical specifications.
• Ensure solutions follow security best practices, including authentication and authorization models such as OAuth2, JWT, and RBAC.
• Support development teams by providing technical guidance on architecture implementation and DevOps practices.
• Participate in architectural reviews and ensure adherence to architectural standards, performance considerations, and reliability principles.
• Contribute to data-related design decisions including data integration, data access patterns, and database architecture (RDBMS, ETL/ELT processes).
• Stay updated with emerging technologies and industry trends to continuously improve system design and delivery.
