Description

 Scope of Responsibilities

• Lead and support end-to-end solution design activities spanning application, cloud, integration, and infrastructure domains.
• Independently draft, develop, and manage comprehensive architectural documentation from scratch.
• Perform rigorous architecture governance and design reviews to ensure alignment with enterprise technology standards across key initiatives.
• Drive and enforce architectural best practices across engineering teams operating in Agile frameworks (Scrum and Kanban).
• Lead technical vendor and product evaluations by defining selection criteria, analyzing multiple vendors, and executing hands-on Proof of Concepts (PoCs) to validate capabilities.

Essential Job Functions:
Application & Cloud Architecture:

• Extensive expertise in application modernization and building scalable cloud architectures, with a strong preference for Microsoft Azure.
• Microservices & Integration:
• Deep practical knowledge of Microservices, API Architecture, and complex Integration Architecture to bridge legacy and modern systems.
• DevSecOps & CI/CD:
• Proven ability to embed security practices and automated CI/CD pipelines directly into foundational architectural designs.
• Design Tooling: Hands-on
• proficiency with industry-standard architecture modeling and design tools (e.g., Visio, Sparx EA, Lucidchart, or Draw.io) to visually communicate complex system blueprints.

Qualifications:
Required Experience & Qualifications

• 8+ years of dedicated,
• hands-on experience in preparing both High-Level Designs (HLD) and Low-Level Designs (LLD).
• Demonstrated capability to clearly articulate and apply the distinct functions of an HLD (broad system architecture, data flow, platform selection) versus
• an LLD (granular component logic, database schemas, API specifications).
• Proven track record of independently designing full-stack solutions without relying solely on existing templates.
• Documented history of participating in multiple formal vendor evaluations, backed by technical PoCs.
• Strong practical experience integrating architectural governance into iterative, Agile-based project delivery models (Scrum and/or Kanban).

Must have:

• Strong communication skills with clarity, confidence, and the ability to articulate technical and functional concepts effectively.
• Sound process knowledge with practical understanding and ability to apply standard processes in real-world scenarios.
• Strong technical fundamentals and hands-on proficiency in areas relevant to the role.
• Good technical documentation skills, including experience in preparing, maintaining, and explaining technical/process documentation.
• Relevant BFSI experience, with the ability to relate prior experience to practical banking and financial-services scenarios.
• Good banking domain knowledge and understanding of key BFSI concepts, processes, and terminology.
• Practical, scenario-based problem-solving ability, rather than only theoretical understanding.
• Overall expectation: A well-rounded candidate combining technical capability, BFSI domain knowledge, process orientation, and effective communication
