Solution Architect – Software Platforms (NTWIST / INDIA)

Solution Architect – Software Platforms

About the Role

Solution Architect – Software Platforms

Reporting to the CTO, with a strong dotted line to Engineering leadership, you will:

• Work closely with

  Product Managers

  to shape features, define scope, and clarify non-functional requirements.
• Work closely with

  Developers, ML Engineers, and DevOps

  to design, document, and guide implementation of end-to-end solutions across our SaaS platform.

ensure alignment and predictability

This is an influential, senior individual contributor role with high visibility across Product and Engineering.

Key Strategic & Professional Responsibilities

I. Product Alignment & Requirements Translation

• Partner with Product Managers to

  review PRDs / BRDs

  , clarify edge cases, and define

  functional and non-functional requirements

  (performance, scalability, security, availability).
• Translate product requirements into

  system-level designs, sequence diagrams, and API contracts

  that can be consumed directly by development teams.
• Challenge and refine requirements where needed to reduce complexity, improve usability, and ensure technical feasibility within given timelines.
• Support backlog refinement and sprint planning by breaking down features into

  architecturally coherent epics and stories

  .

II. Software Architecture & Technical Design (The Bridge)

• Design

  high-level and component-level architectures

  for NTWIST’s SaaS and data/AI products (services, data flows, integrations, deployment topologies).
• Define

  standards and patterns

  for microservices, APIs, data pipelines, eventing/streaming, and integrations with MES / SCADA / historians / ERP, together with the Dev team. 
• Own and maintain

  architecture documentation

  (diagrams, RFCs, decision records) so Product and Dev have a shared source of truth.
• Collaborate with ML Research and Data teams to define

  interfaces for AI/ML models

  , including input/output schemas, latency expectations, and deployment models (cloud / edge).
• Participate in

  design reviews and code/PR reviews

  for critical components to ensure architectural consistency and technical quality.

III. Delivery Support & Governance

• Provide ongoing

  architecture guidance during development

  , unblocking teams by clarifying design questions and trade-offs in real time.
• Ensure that delivered features align with

  original design, performance targets, and security standards

  .
• Work with DevOps/SRE to ensure architectures are

  monitorable, resilient, and cost-efficient

  in production.
• Support effort estimation and release planning by providing

  realistic technical assessments

  and risk identification.
• Contribute to

  technical governance

  : shared libraries, coding standards, API versioning, documentation expectations.

IV. Cross-Team Enablement & Internal Communication

• Act as the

  primary translator

  between Product and Engineering, ensuring both sides share a common understanding of goals, constraints, and trade-offs. 
• Run internal sessions to

  educate Product and Dev

  on platform capabilities, constraints, and best-practice usage patterns.
• Support Sales / Pre-Sales and Delivery teams with

  internal architecture briefings

  when needed (e.g., for large deals or complex implementation questions), but remain primarily focused on

  internal product development

  .

Required Professional QualificationsEducation & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in

  Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field

  . A Master’s degree is a plus.

• 8–12+ years

  of professional experience in software development, with at least

  3–5 years in a Solution Architect / Senior Engineer / Tech Lead

  role in a SaaS or platform environment.
• Experience working closely with

  Product Management and cross-functional engineering teams

  to design and deliver complex software systems.

Technical Skills

• Strong hands-on background in

  modern backend development

  (e.g., Python, Java, C#, or similar) and familiarity with

  front-end frameworks

  is an asset.
• Deep experience with

  cloud platforms

  (AWS/Azure/GCP), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and

  modern CI/CD

  practices.
• Solid understanding of

  microservices architectures, REST/gRPC APIs, event-driven architectures, and data pipelines

  .
• Experience integrating with

  industrial data sources

  (MES, SCADA, PLCs, historians, ERP) or other OT/IT systems is a strong plus. 
• Familiarity with

  AI/ML product lifecycle

  and deployment patterns (e.g., model APIs, feature stores, monitoring) is highly desirable.

Leadership & Soft Skills

• Excellent

  communication skills

  – able to explain complex technical concepts in simple language to Product Managers and non-technical stakeholders. 
• Strong

  analytical and structured thinking

  ; comfortable making and documenting architectural trade-offs.
• High degree of

  ownership and autonomy

  ; able to drive outcomes across multiple teams without formal authority.
• Collaborative mindset with the ability to

  build trust with both Product and Engineering

  .
