·       Capable of performing occasional code reviews and providing guidance on coding best practices.

·       Be a thought leader on identifying and developing new standard patterns, solution building blocks, and best practices to enable efficient solution design and delivery.

Solution Level Architecture Support:

·       Maintain an end-to-end domain level architecture landscape views - logical, security, and deployment diagrams - current state and target state landscape views.

·       Develop and maintain OKR / Project level solution architecture and design - logical, security, and deployment arch views diagrams, low level solution design, ensuring compliance with NFR and other solution patterns.

Integration and Data Architecture

·       Define integration approaches using APIs, event streams, ETL pipelines, and workflow automation.

·       Validate data models, data quality requirements, and retention standards for regulated domains.

·       Work with security partners to align designs with access control models, audit needs, and data privacy requirements.

Governance and Standards

·       Constructively challenge enterprise architecture recommendations when alternatives provide better outcomes for the business and the enterprise.

·       Align design proposals with engineering standards, cloud patterns, and operational practices.

·       Support architecture reviews, risk assessments, and technical approvals.

Collaboration and Delivery Support

·       Work with Scrum teams to guide architecture during refinement, sprint planning, and technical decisions.

·       Provide solution oversight through development, testing, and release planning.

·       Communicate architecture choices, trade‑offs, and impacts to business and technical stakeholders.

Documentation:
