• Produce and maintain architecture artifacts, including HLD/LLD, reference architectures, roadmaps, and decision records.
• Provide technical governance during delivery, reviewing designs, resolving architectural risks, and ensuring non-functional requirements (performance, security, resilience, scalability) are met.
• Guide migration from legacy monolithic systems to cloud-native, microservices-based architectures.
• Collaborate with product, engineering, and professional services teams to feed customer insights into the product roadmap.
• Mentor solution architects, consultants, and engineers, and contribute to internal knowledge sharing and best practices.

• Proven experience across the full SDLC, from requirements and design through build, test, deployment, and support, on large, multi-team programs.
• Hands-on knowledge of cloud-native architecture: microservices, containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code.
• Experience with public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and hybrid or multi-cloud deployments.
• Solid understanding of integration patterns: REST/GraphQL APIs, messaging and streaming (Kafka or similar), and event-driven design.
• Working knowledge of TM Forum standards (Open APIs, eTOM, SID, ODA).
