Product Architect

The role of a Product Architect is crucial in creating exceptional product architectural designs for both existing and new products. Your main responsibility will be to develop architectural designs for products, define product requirements, and design needs by understanding the product vision and business requirements. It is essential to comprehend market-driven business needs, technology trends, and objectives to define architecture requirements and strategies. You will be creating product-wide architectural designs to ensure scalability, reliability, and compatibility with various deployment options. As a Product Architect, you will be responsible for developing Proof of Concepts (POCs) to demonstrate the feasibility of product ideas and analyzing, proposing, and implementing the core technology strategy for product development. It is important to provide solutions for Requests for Proposals (RFPs) received from clients and ensure overall product design assurance aligns with business needs. You will collaborate with sales, development, and consulting teams to reconcile solutions to architecture and analyze the technology environment and client requirements to set a product solution design framework. Technical leadership plays a key role in your responsibilities, where you will lead the design, development, and implementation of custom solutions using modern technology. Identifying problem areas, performing root cause analysis, and providing relevant solutions will be part of your routine tasks. You will also need to stay updated on industry and application trends to plan current and future IT needs and provide technical input during product deployment at client sites. Supporting the delivery team during product deployment and resolving complex issues, collaborating with the team to develop product validation and performance testing plans, and maintaining the product roadmap are essential aspects of the role. Building and maintaining relationships with stakeholders, providing technical and strategic input, and ensuring quality assurance of all architectural or design decisions are crucial for successful product development. Apart from the technical aspects, you will also be involved in competency building and branding, team management, stakeholder interactions, and performance management. This includes resourcing, talent management, performance reviews, employee satisfaction, and engagement initiatives for the team. Your interactions with internal stakeholders such as delivery teams, pre-sales teams, engineering teams, and external stakeholders like vendors and industry forums will play a significant role in the success of the products you are architecting. Your performance will be measured based on key parameters such as product design and development, capability development, and team management. Ensuring high CSAT, quality of design/architecture, on-time delivery, completion of trainings and certifications, team attrition rate, and employee satisfaction scores will be critical for your success in this role. Additionally, demonstrating competencies in areas such as domain knowledge, market intelligence, systems thinking, leveraging technology, and technical knowledge will be essential for excelling as a Product Architect.,
