We are hiring a hands-on Senior Solution Architect to lead architecture, presales, and delivery across modern application platforms spanning cloud-native, on-prem, and hybrid environments.

This role operates flexibly across presales, delivery, or both within a client engagement, shaping solutions, contributing to bids, and ensuring execution aligned to business outcomes.

This role is suited for architects who can independently shape, win, and deliver complex modern application solutions.

You will work with highly technical clients and strong offshore engineering teams, where your value is measured by depth of technical expertise, clarity of solution structuring, consulting, storytelling and ability to influence outcomes from day one.

What You Will Do

Define end-to-end architectures using microservices and event-driven patterns
Apply architecture frameworks, design patterns, and well-architected principles. Design across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments
Ensure alignment to scalability, resilience, security, and performance expectations. Architect and deliver systems at scale (high-volume, low-latency, mission-critical enterprise platforms)

Lead solutioning end-to-end in presales, including shaping proposals, defining architecture, and creating differentiated technical positioning
Prototype, validate, and guide implementation using Spring Boot, Quarkus, REST/gRPC, .Net / Java
Drive modernization: Monolith to Microservices, Batch to Event-driven, Legacy to cloud-native / cloud-ready

Architect event-driven systems (Kafka / messaging / streaming)
Solve distributed system challenges (failures, retries, scaling, latency)

Collaborate with strong offshore engineering teams that require architectural depth and influencing through deep technical guidance, sharing the solution proposal workload by holding the pen, not supervision

Build compelling demos, POCs, and architecture artefacts proactively to support the solution proposal
Able to navigate enterprise complexity and collaborate with various teams to identify relevant success stories, benchmarks, and modernization patterns

Thrive in fast-paced, dynamic, client-facing environments. Be self-driven, proactive, and outcome-focused, deliver without follow-ups
Continuously learn, adapt, and stay current with evolving technologies

Requirements

15+ years in end-to-end SDLC with extensive hands-on architecture experience (consistently operating in an architect role for minimum 6 years)
Proven track record architecting, designing and delivering microservices and event-driven systems at scale.
Experience across presales, solutioning, and delivery
Good to have experience & expertise in AI, Data Architecture, Cyber Security and Cloud Architecture.
