Summary: The Architect plays a crucial role in defining and shaping the overall technical architecture of the company’s platforms. This role requires deep expertise in software and system design principles, cloud technologies, and a strategic vision for scaling systems.

What the Role needs to Achieve

Design, implement and benchmark the overall architecture of the platform.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

End-to-End Architecture Design: Architect distributed, event-driven, and microservices-based systems similar to public cloud platforms. Leverage containers, Kubernetes, and hybrid virtualization environments (Hypervisor, OpenStack) in architecting it.
Technology Evaluation & Strategy: Evaluate and recommend the right mix of tools, frameworks, and design patternsfor each project, balancing performance, cost, scalability, and maintainability.
Infrastructure & DevOps Alignment: Define infrastructure as code (IaC) strategies and embed DevOps, AIOps, and MLOpspractices into system delivery pipelines. Integrate tools like GitLab, Jira, and cloud-native CI/CD workflows.
Data & Integration Architecture: Design secure, high-performance system and database architecturesusing PgSQL, MongoDB, Redis, InfluxDB, Kafka, and ESB patterns to support real-time, analytical, and transactional workloads.
Scalability & Resilience: Leverage knowledge of distributed computing, SDN/SDS, and container orchestration to build robust systems capable of handling high throughput with minimal latency and failure recovery.
UML & Technical Documentation: Develop and maintain comprehensive UML models, architectural diagrams, and technical documentation that effectively communicate design intent across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Mentorship & Governance: Provide architectural oversight, code-level guidance, and mentorship to development teams. Ensure adherence to architectural standards, KPIs, and KRAs through reviews and active collaboration.
Continuous Innovation: Stay at the forefront of emerging technologies and best practices. Propose architectural improvements that leverage advancements in AI/ML, cloud-native development, and intelligent automation.
