This role partners closely with business, and IT organizations to drive modernization across RMIC systems, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, resilient, and aligned with enterprise architecture strategies. The architect shall define future-state cloud architectures and lead the transformation toward cloud-native, event-driven solutions. This role plays a critical part in shaping cross-ART and cross-platform initiatives, guiding teams through complex system interdependencies in a scaled agile environment. Under limited guidance, work at the business unit level developing the end-to-end solution architecture for significant initiatives in partnership with key business and IT stakeholders., * Lead end-to-end cloud architecture for RMIC systems, including pricing, rating, invoicing, billing integrity, and settlement workflows. * Develop cloud modernization roadmaps aligned with business priorities and enterprise architecture strategy. * Define cloud patterns, standards, and reference architectures that support high-volume financial and transactional workloads. * Drive adoption of cloud-native engineering practices. * Evaluate current-state RMIC platforms, identify modernization opportunities, and design future-state architectures. * Partner with business stakeholders, ARTs, and development teams to ensure architectural alignment across highly interdependent systems. * Define and enforce cloud governance, including security controls, observability, monitoring, and operational best practices. * Mentor solution architects and engineering teams on cloud architecture patterns and platform engineering practices. * Communicate complex architectural concepts and recommendations to technical and non-technical executive audiences. * Exposes current state architecture and identifies options for future state architecture. * Works closely with business and IT stakeholders creating solutions that balance competing interests and concerns. * Develops plans for and facilitates the migration from current to selected future state by providing technical leadership to multiple initiatives. * Mentor those in less senior positions. * Perform other duties as assigned. ## Related Videos - [The Cloud is Calling: Answer with In-Demand Skills](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/945-the-cloud-is-calling-answer-with-in-demand-skills) - [Green Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/592-green-cloud-computing) - [Building Well-Architected applications](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/691-building-well-architected-applications) - [Leverage Cloud Computing Benefits with Serverless Multi-Cloud ML ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/78-leverage-cloud-computing-benefits-with-serverless-multi-cloud-ml) - [A Computer Is All You Need](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100142-a-computer-is-all-you-need) - [DevOps for AI: running LLMs in production with Kubernetes and KubeFlow](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1222-devops-for-ai-running-llms-in-production-with-kubernetes-and-kubeflow) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [7 Important Tips That Every Software Developer Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/101-7-important-tips-that-every-software-developer-should-know)
