Senior Solution Architect
Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced, strategic, and authoritative Senior Solution Architect to lead architecture discovery, technical design, and end-to-end solution delivery across major enterprise initiatives. In this role, you will own the complete solution design lifecycle from inception through implementation and operational transition, ensuring that technical solutions align seamlessly with enterprise standards, business goals, and robust security frameworks.
This is a high-impact architecture leadership role for an autonomous technical strategist who excels at translating complex business requirements into robust, scalable, and secure technical designs. You will drive cross-functional collaboration across infrastructure, cybersecurity, and data teams, review partner and vendor architectures, and guide complex integrations spanning cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments. If you possess deep expertise in enterprise solution design and technical governance, we want to hear from you.

• Documentation & Artifacts: Author comprehensive Solution Design Documents (SDDs) and produce vital architecture artifacts, including system context, application, integration, data flow, deployment, and network diagrams.
• Partner Oversight: Lead technical reviews with system integrators, software vendors, and managed service providers; evaluate third-party designs for completeness, security, and enterprise alignment.
Application, Integration & Infrastructure Design
• Integration Strategy: Design hybrid solutions involving cloud services, SaaS platforms, on-premises systems, and legacy applications utilizing approved API, middleware, event-driven, and data integration patterns.
• Technical Readiness & Environments: Define environment requirements (dev, QA, UAT, production, disaster recovery) and identify hosting, compute, storage, network, and security dependencies.
• Cybersecurity Alignment: Partner early with Cybersecurity to establish trust boundaries, data classifications, identity and access management (IAM), encryption, and compliance controls within the solution design.
• Operational Transition: Ensure monitoring, logging, alerting, backup, and disaster recovery requirements are established and successfully handed over to operational support teams.
