Solutions Architect

Key Responsibilities:Lead Architecture & Modernization StrategyPerform a structured assessment of the current solution (application, data, integrations, workflows, and operations) and define a modernization approach aligned to business outcomes.Develop and present architecture options (including trade-offs) and drive decisions with stakeholders and delivery teams.Define target-state principles such as scalability, resiliency, security-by-design, maintainability, observability, and cost awareness.Create and maintain architecture artifacts: current/target diagrams, integration/data flows, non-functional requirements, and architecture decision records.Design Cloud-Native Services and Integration PatternsDefine a cloud-native architecture that replaces app-server-centric workloads with managed and scalable services where appropriate.Establish integration principles (API, event-driven, batch/orchestration patterns), ensuring security, monitoring, versioning, and coexistence during migration.Ensure the design supports phased delivery and safe transition, including coexistence/parallel-run considerations where needed.Data Platform & Fabric AlignmentDefine the data strategy for moving to Microsoft Fabric and SQL-based data services, including data modeling, migration approach, validation/reconciliation, and governance.Align operational data needs and analytics/reporting requirements with an enterprise-ready data architecture.Power Platform Architecture (Apps + Automation)Define how Power Apps and Power Automate will be used to deliver user experiences and workflows, with attention to scalability, security, and supportability.Establish guardrails for Power Platform delivery: environment strategy, ALM approach, connector use, DLP alignment, and operational monitoring.Security, Risk, and Operational ReadinessPartner with security/compliance to implement identity and access controls (SSO/RBAC/least privilege), data protection, auditability, and policy alignment.Define measurable NFRs and ensure the solution is production-ready: monitoring, alerting, incident response, runbooks, and support model.Delivery Enablement & Stakeholder LeadershipWork closely with product owners, SMEs, engineering leads, and platform teams to translate requirements into an executable roadmap and delivery plan.Provide architecture governance through design reviews, technical guidance, and active risk management across the program lifecycle.Essential Skills and Qualifications:8+ years experience in solution architecture with a focus on modernization/replatforming initiatives.Proven track record modernizing Java/app-server-based solutions (e.g., JBoss/WildFly) to cloud-native architectures.Strong understanding of cloud-native design principles (stateless services, scalability, resiliency patterns, observability).Experience architecting within the Microsoft ecosystem, including:Microsoft Fabric and SQL-based data services (data platform design and governance principles)Power Apps and Power Automate (enterprise architecture and governance mindset)Azure ecosystem: Azure SQL, Storage, Functions, Event Hub/Service Bus, Azure API Management, Key Vault, Entra ID.Strong knowledge of integration and security fundamentals (APIs, authentication/authorization, secrets, logging/audit).Experience defining enterprise governance and operating models (Cloud/Power Platform CoE concepts).Experience with phased migration strategies (incremental cutover, coexistence, decommissioning).Familiarity with DevOps automation and environment promotion practices (CI/CD and IaC principles).Experience in regulated or high-compliance environments.
