• Produce high-quality design artifacts (architecture diagrams, sequence flows, APIs, data models) and maintain clear, traceable documentation.
• Knowledgeable of emerging technologies and associated services.
• Implement reference implementations, prototypes, and proof-of-concepts to de-risk assumptions and accelerate decision-making.
• Establish and enforce non-functional requirements (availability, latency, throughput, recoverability), and define SLOs/SLIs with robust monitoring and alerting Champion security-by-design and privacy-by-default principles—threat modeling, secure coding, data protection, encryption, and compliance alignment.
• Drive integration strategies for legacy and modern systems (APIs, event streaming, messaging, microservices), ensuring interoperability and data integrity.
• Guide CI/CD, DevOps, and Infrastructure-as-Code practices to streamline delivery, reduce risk, and improve release velocity.
• Identify and remediate technical debt strategically—prioritize modernization efforts and build migration paths that minimize disruption.
• Mentor and influence engineers without formal line management—uplift skills in architecture, design, testing, and operational excellence.
• Expertise in architecting large-scale, distributed systems and producing high-fidelity design artifacts (diagrams, APIs, data models, migration plans).
• Proficiency in cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), containers and orchestration (Kubernetes), Infrastructure-as-Code, and CI/CD with strong testing, observability, and SRE practices.
• Strong integration and data skills across APIs, event streaming (e.g., Kafka), and governance, with security-by-design, privacy-by-default, and alignment to regulatory/compliance requirements.
• Subject matter expert in at least one of the tools/technologies used in the space.
• Job holder must have understanding interdependencies and business impact of future IT plans.
