Technical Architect

About the Role

We are looking for a dynamic, results-driven Solution Architect and Onsite Technical Enabler who can act as a forward-deployed engineer embedded directly with our clients. This person will serve as the primary technical bridge between client stakeholders (CXOs, Product Managers, Architects) and offshore/distributed engineering teams -translating business needs into actionable technical roadmaps, driving architecture decisions in real time, and taking ownership of solution design from concept through delivery. The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguous, fast-moving client environments, is comfortable being the face of engineering onsite, and takes full ownership of outcomes rather than simply executing tickets.

Key Responsibilities

Client Partnership & Forward Deployment

• Act as the primary onsite technology SME for client stakeholders, embedding directly within client teams to build trust and accelerate delivery.
• Facilitate onsite discovery workshops, requirement finalization sessions, and architecture alignment meetings with business and technical stakeholders.
• Bridge business and technology teams by translating ambiguous business problems into clear, actionable technical designs and roadmaps.
• Support pre-sales and client expansion activities, including solution demonstrations, POCs/POVs, RFI/RFP responses, and cost estimation.

Solution Architecture & Ownership

• Own end-to-end solution design -from architecture blueprint to delivery -for cloud-native, scalable, and secure systems.
• Conceptualize and architect solutions leveraging AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and/or Azure, applying Well-Architected Framework principles across performance, security, reliability, scalability, and cost (FinOps).
• Define and implement scalable landing zones, including greenfield cloud environments and migration strategies for clients at varying levels of cloud maturity.
• Drive modernization initiatives such as monolith-to-microservices transformations, containerization, and adoption of cloud-native and serverless patterns.
• Evaluate and introduce emerging technologies (e.g., Agentic AI / GenAI approaches) where they create measurable business value.

Technical Leadership & Governance

• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and enablement to both onsite and offshore engineering teams, ensuring architectural governance and consistent standards.
• Ensure governance, security, and compliance alignment across global/distributed deployments while balancing innovation with enterprise-grade stability.
• Conduct architectural assessments and co-create solution blueprints to accelerate delivery readiness and reduce time-to-value.
• Own technical decision-making onsite, escalating and resolving blockers quickly to keep distributed delivery teams unblocked.

What Success Looks Like

• Client stakeholders view this person as a trusted technical advisor and the go-to point of contact for architecture decisions.
• Offshore/distributed teams receive clear, well-documented technical direction that reduces rework and accelerates delivery.
• Solutions delivered are secure, scalable, and aligned to business outcomes -not just technically correct.
• Demonstrated measurable impact: cost optimization, reduced time-to-market, improved system reliability, or successful modernization outcomes.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in solution architecture, cloud engineering, or a related technical leadership role, with prior experience working directly onsite with clients.
• Proven experience designing and delivering cloud-native solutions on AWS and/or Google Cloud Platform and/or Azure at an enterprise scale.
• Strong hands-on background in microservices architecture, backend development (Java/Spring Boot or equivalent), and modern frontend frameworks (React/Angular).
• Demonstrated experience acting as a bridge between business stakeholders and engineering teams, including running discovery workshops and translating requirements into technical roadmaps.
• Experience with DevOps/CI-CD tooling, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/CloudFormation).
• Experience contributing to pre-sales activities such as RFPs/RFIs, POCs, and solution demonstrations.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills -comfortable presenting to CXOs and technical teams alike.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience across multiple industry verticals such as Healthcare, BFSI, Retail, or Travel & Hospitality.
• Hands-on expertise with AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, including services such as EC2, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, RDS/Aurora, DynamoDB, Cognito, CloudWatch, Cloud Run, Cloud Storage, Azure Functions, Azure Blob Storage, and related cloud-native services.
• Strong experience designing microservices, event-driven, serverless, and API-first architectures using .Net and Angular.
• Experience modernizing legacy enterprise applications through monolith-to-microservices transformation, containerization, cloud migration, and domain-driven architecture.
• Expertise with Docker, Kubernetes (EKS/AKS), Terraform, CloudFormation, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, AWS CodePipeline, and CodeBuild for DevSecOps and platform automation.
• Strong knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, MongoDB, DynamoDB, and Redis.
• Experience building reusable engineering accelerators, enterprise frameworks, SDKs, configurable platforms, or shared architectural components that improve delivery speed and engineering productivity.
• Familiarity with GenAI/Agentic AI approaches and their practical application in enterprise solutions.
• Experience with identity and SSO frameworks (SAML, PingFederate, Cognito) and API management.
• Exposure to data platforms and analytics (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift, Looker, Power BI) is a plus.
• Prior experience in a hybrid onsite-offshore delivery model.

Travel & Location Requirements

This role requires the candidate to be based onsite at client locations in the USA, with the flexibility to travel as needed to support client engagements, discovery workshops, and delivery milestones.
