The ideal candidate will lead feature-level solution design, architecture reviews, engineering governance, and platform modernization initiatives while working closely with business stakeholders, engineering teams, and data teams. Responsibilities: - * Serve as the Solution Architect, providing technical leadership across application architecture, feature design, integration architecture, and cloud-native solution delivery. * Define scalable, secure, resilient, and maintainable solution architectures supporting evolving business and technology needs. * Translate business requirements, epics, features, and user stories into implementation-ready technical designs and solution architectures. * Develop architecture blueprints, component interaction diagrams, integration patterns, API specifications, and implementation guidance for engineering teams. * Lead feature-level solution design and architecture review sessions for new functionality, enhancements, and modernization initiatives. * Define application architecture patterns, component structures, service boundaries, API contracts, integration patterns, and data flows supporting .NET and Angular applications. * Provide guidance on microservices, API-led, event-driven, and asynchronous integration patterns supporting scalable and loosely coupled architectures. * Evaluate architecture alternatives and technical trade-offs, recommending approaches that optimize business value, technical quality, delivery timelines, and long-term supportability. * Establish architecture standards, design principles, and governance processes that promote consistency, reusability, maintainability, and engineering excellence. * Ensure all solutions satisfy functional and non-functional requirements related to performance, scalability, security, availability, observability, and operational supportability. Azure Solution Architecture. * Design and govern cloud-native application architectures leveraging Microsoft Azure services. * Define architectural standards for Azure App Services, Azure Functions, Azure API Management, Azure SQL, Azure Storage, Service Bus, Event Grid, Key Vault, and related platform services. * Ensure solutions align with Azure Well-Architected Framework principles for reliability, security, performance efficiency, operational excellence, scalability, and cost optimization. * Recommend deployment patterns and Azure services that support application scalability, resiliency, observability, and operational efficiency. * Collaborate with DevOps and platform teams to ensure application architectures align with deployment, monitoring, security, and operational standards. * Provide guidance related to cloud optimization, performance tuning, resilience patterns, high availability, and operational supportability. Data Model Collaboration & Impact Assessment * Collaborate closely with Data Architecture and Data Engineering teams to assess impacts of data model changes. * Evaluate impacts of changes to business entities, relationships, business rules, and data structures on applications, APIs, integrations, workflows, and reporting capabilities. * Assess impacts of data model changes on business workflows, operational processes, integration points, and downstream systems. * Ensure application and integration architectures remain aligned with evolving data models and business requirements. * Support feature design and application architecture activities involving data model changes without assuming ownership of enterprise data architecture. Engineering Leadership & Delivery Support . * Work closely with Product Owners, Business Analysts, Engineering Leads, QA teams, and Data Architects to deliver business capabilities aligned with release objectives. * Partner with engineering teams throughout the SDLC to clarify architectural intent and resolve technical design challenges. * Support sprint planning, backlog refinement, implementation reviews, and release planning activities. * Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and architectural guidance to engineering teams. * Establish reusable architecture assets, standards, reference designs, and implementation frameworks to improve engineering productivity and consistency. Architecture Governance & Operational Readiness * Participate in architecture governance forums and design review processes. * Identify technical debt, performance bottlenecks, scalability limitations, and operational risks and recommend remediation strategies. * Support production readiness reviews, deployment planning, release governance, and post-implementation assessments. * Develop architecture runbooks, solution diagrams, support documentation, and operational reading., Job Summary/Job Purpose The Senior Cloud Solution Architect owns the design and technical direction of complex, cross-functional systems across the Client's cloud and on-prem env… + 1 day ago, Job Summary/Job Purpose The Senior Cloud Solution Architect owns the design and technical direction of complex, cross-functional systems across the Client's cloud and on-prem env… + 1 day ago + ## Related Videos - [Azure-Well Architected Framework - designing mission critical workloads in practice](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1529-azure-well-architected-framework-designing-mission-critical-workloads-in-practice) - [Best Practices for Using GitHub Secrets](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1214-best-practices-for-using-github-secrets) - [For the REST of us: API First and Conway’s Law](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1932-for-the-rest-of-us-api-first-and-conway-s-law) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Develop enterprise-ready applications for Microsoft Teams with Azure resources on modern web technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/187-develop-enterprise-ready-applications-for-microsoft-teams-with-azure-resources-on-modern-web-technologies) - [Contract-First Frontend: Scaling Reliable UIs with OpenAPI and AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1995-contract-first-frontend-scaling-reliable-uis-with-openapi-and-ai) ## 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) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
