Solutions Architect

The Solutions Architect plays a critical role in shaping and delivering secure, scalable, and cost-effective technology solutions that leverage AWS, low-code platforms, and integrations with external SaaS applications. This position leads end-to-end solution design—from initial discovery and architecture through deployment and operational support—using Infrastructure as Code and modern Development, Security, and Operations (Dev Sec Ops ) practices. The role serves as a technical leader and trusted partner to stakeholders, combining deep expertise in APIs, microservices, containers, data, and security with strong communication and cross-functional collaboration to ensure solutions meet business needs and align with organizational strategy.

• Lead discovery, current state analysis, and target architectures for cloud, SaaS, and platform initiatives.
• Produce high quality architecture artifacts: context/sequence/component diagrams, ADRs, non functional requirements (NFRs), and integration contracts.
• Drive solution options analysis (build/buy/partner), TCO/ROI, and risk trade offs; make clear recommendations backed by data.
• Maintain systems written in Java/Spring and .NET/ASP.NET Core.

• Define and implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform (preferred) and/or Cloud Formation/CDK; create reusable modules, environment strategies, and Git based pipelines for app and infra provisioning.
• Architect resilient, cost efficient services using Low Code mixed with AWS Services such as: ALB/NLB, Route 53, Cloud Front, S3, RDS/Aurora, Dynamo
  
  DB, Elasti Cache, Open Search, SQS/SNS, Kinesis, Glue, Athena, Lake Formation, ECR, ECS/Fargate, EKS, Lambda, API Gateway.

• Standardize CI/CD with artifact/versioning, deployment strategies (blue/green, canary), and automated rollbacks.
• Embed security early: SAST/DAST/secret scanning, SBOMs, image signing, and policy as code. Implement Privileged Access Management and least privilege IAM.
• Champion observability—structured logging, metrics, traces, and SLO/SLA patterns using Cloud Watch, Cloud Watch Logs Insights, X Ray, and others.
• Provide hands‑on help to systems and operations team when selecting and configuring cloud resources
• Provide hands‑on guidance in testing of solutions across all areas
• Contribute to audits such as SOC2 and Security

• Architect APIs and event driven integrations (REST/gRPC, messaging, pub/sub, streaming) using API Gateway/App Mesh/native AWS integrations where appropriate.
• Guide service decomposition, domain boundaries, and data contracts across Low Code, Java and .NET services.
• Utilize AWS and/or Low Code target architectures for new products, platform capabilities, and modernization initiatives.
• Provide hands‑on help with data modeling
• Provide hands‑on help to software engineers in Low Code and Full Stack Applications

• Contribute to architecture review and standards; ensure solutions align to enterprise patterns, AWS Well Architected pillars, security, and compliance.
• Translate technical strategy into business outcomes; communicate clearly with executives, product managers, engineers, and vendors.
• Mentor engineers and champion engineering excellence across application, data, content and sysops teams.

• Partner with data and content solution teams to select and implement fit‑for‑purpose technologies, including relational and No
  
  SQL data stores (Aurora, Postgre
  
  SQL, SQL Server, Dynamo
  
  DB), S3-based data lakes, caching strategies, and document management systems.
• Provide hands‑on support for data modeling, configuration of ETL/ELT pipelines using AWS Glue and Informatica, and implementation of document management tools and workflows.
