  • Strong C#/.NET design skills (ASP.NET Core, microservices, async programming, DI, unit testing).
  • Proven delivery on Microsoft Azure (AKS/Containers, Functions, App Services, Event Hubs/Service Bus, API Management, Key Vault, Monitor/Log Analytics).
  • CI/CD and DevOps leadership (Azure DevOps/Jenkins, Git workflows, pipelines, IaC with Bicep/ARM/Terraform).
  • Solid understanding of systems architecture in Agile contexts; ability to maintain architectural runway and drive non-functional outcomes.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with streaming (Kafka/Event Hubs), NoSQL (Cosmos DB), data lakes/warehouses (ADLS, Synapse, Snowflake), and ETL/ELT (Data Factory, Databricks).
  • Exposure to MLOps (MLflow, Azure ML) and DS toolchains (Python/R), plus model monitoring.
  • Security certifications or hands-on with threat modeling, SAST/DAST, SBOM, and supply-chain security.
  • Certifications: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, DP-203 (Azure Data Engineer), Azure DevOps Engineer Expert.
Core Competencies (Band-4)
  • Architectural leadership at portfolio/platform scale; sets guardrails and guides multiple product teams.

Communication influence; crisp narratives and artifacts (roadmaps, ADRs, blueprints, diagrams).
Key Responsibilities Architecture Strategy
  • Define and evolve target architectures for cloud-native applications and data platforms, aligning to business OKRs, non-functional requirements (availability, latency, cost, security), and runway for upcoming epics.
  • Lead platform/portfolio architecture governance (reference architectures, ADRs, standards, guardrails) across multiple products/teams at Band-4 scope.
Cloud DevOps
  • Design and lead implementation of solutions on Microsoft Azure (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS) including API management, container platforms, serverless, identity, monitoring, and cost optimization.
  • Establish CI/CD pipelines, environment strategy, and release orchestration; guide teams on IaC, secrets management, and automated quality gates (security, performance, SLOs).
Data Engineering Data Science
  • Architect data platforms and pipelines (batch/streaming) with strong SQL fundamentals: dimensional modeling, normalization/denormalization, performance tuning, indexing, partitioning.
  • Enable Data Science at scale: feature stores, experiment tracking, reproducible pipelines, and MLOps (deployment/monitoring/rollback of ML models).
  • Partner with DS teams on problem framing, model operationalization, and guardrails (bias, explainability, data privacy).
Application Architecture (C#/.NET)
  • Lead design for C#/.NET microservices and distributed systems (REST/gRPC, messaging, event-driven architectures), ensuring observability, resiliency patterns (circuit breakers, retries), and zero-downtime deployments.
  • Guide modernization (from monoliths to microservices), domain-driven design, and API/product thinking.
Security, Compliance Quality
  • Embed DevSecOps practices; ensure threat modeling, secure SDLC, vulnerability remediation, and compliance (GDPR, SOC2, ISO).
