Key Responsibilities

· Lead solution architecture and technical design for the JMS program, ensuring scalability, reliability, security, and alignment with enterprise standards.

· Own end-to-end technical delivery across design, build, test, deployment, and post-go-live stabilization.

· Define and govern API-first and event-driven architectures.

· Incorporate AI-enabled capabilities into solution designs where appropriate (e.g., automation, intelligent routing, data enrichment, analytics, or operational insights).

· Partner closely with development, DevOps, security, and infrastructure teams to drive successful execution.

· Provide hands-on technical guidance and troubleshooting when needed (this is not a purely advisory role).

· Collaborate effectively with offshore delivery teams, providing clear designs, documentation, and technical oversight.

· Support and contribute to migration and modernization initiatives, including legacy system transitions.

· Act as a technical liaison with stakeholders, translating business needs into well-architected technical solutions.
