• Identify gaps between current and desired states and propose architectural solutions to bridge those gaps.
• Contribute to the organization’s long-term technical strategy, focusing on digital transformation and technology modernization.

Collaboration and Guidance

• Partner with Business Analysts and Development Teams to translate business requirements into feasible technical solutions.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to developers and tech leads.
• Lead technical discussions on architecture, design patterns, and technology selection, ensuring alignment across teams.
• Support teams in solving complex technical problems and conducting code reviews.
• Work closely with developers to ensure solutions are implemented according to the architecture.

Governance and Best Practices

• Establish and enforce architecture standards, design principles, and best practices for software development, integration, and system reliability.
• Perform design and code reviews, ensuring adherence to security, performance, and scalability requirements.
• Ensure compliance with industry regulations, security standards, and internal governance policies.

Non-Functional System Ownership and Quality

• Ensure key non-functional requirements (NFRs) are addressed, including scalability, performance, reliability, availability, and security.
• Drive automation, continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices, and infrastructure-as-code principles.
• Lead efforts to optimize application performance and scalability across cloud and on-premise environments.

System Integration and Interoperability

• Define and implement integration patterns, ensuring seamless communication between internal and external systems.
• Ensure systems are designed to support future growth and integrations with third-party solutions.
• Maintain a focus on API-driven architecture and microservices where applicable.

Documentation and Communication

• Maintain comprehensive technical documentation, including architectural diagrams, data flow designs, and API specifications.
• Communicate architecture decisions, trade-offs, and risks effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Present architecture updates and recommendations to senior management and other architecture teams.

Requirements
