About The Role

We are looking for a Solution Architect to join our team and actively contribute to building solutions for digital channels (including frontends and backends), owning and being accountable for the architecture definition. Additionally, we will actively provide support throughout project execution to the analysis and development teams to ensure the soundness, quality and fit‑for‑purpose of the delivered solution, ensuring it is addressing the necessary functional and non‑functional requirements and the alignment with the solution design.

As a part of your job, you will:

- Design system architectures that will meet business needs and requirements (functional and non‑functional), by acting as a bridge between business/functional and technical teams.

- Ensure the correct behavior of the designed solutions and how they will fit the existing enterprise landscape.

- Define architecture roadmaps (including transition architectures) to meet clients’ requirements.

- Define migration strategies from existing to new solutions.

- Own the production of architecture artifacts (blueprints, solution architecture documents, architecture decision records).

- Justify architecture choices through trade‑off analysis.

- Guide technical leads and development teams.

- Describe the structure, characteristics, behavior, and other aspects of the architecture to various stakeholders.

- Guarantee the adoption of architecture standards and guidelines.

What are we looking for?

- Proven work experience as a Solution Architect or similar role (minimum 5 years).

- Knowledge in web and mobile frontend architectures.

- Experience designing solutions applying software architecture concepts:

- Architecture styles (e.g., monolithic, distributed: microservices, SOA)

- Patterns (e.g., SSR/CSR, CQRS, BFFs) and design principles (e.g., SOLID, DRY)

- Quality attributes (e.g., modularity, multi‑tenancy, scalability, reliability)

- Strong ability to identify trade‑offs and consider architecture decisions’ impact on technical, functional and business contexts.

- Knowledge of application security concepts such as TLS, OAuth and OIDC.

- Strong knowledge of API design.

- Good understanding of integration solutions, and their role and responsibility in a typical enterprise architecture.

- Knowledge of Dev(Sec)Ops practices and tools.

- Knowledge of containerization concepts and technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.

- Knowledge of Cloud Platforms like AWS, Azure & GCP is preferred.

- Strong ability to produce documentation using adequate tools and standards (e.g., C4 notation, BPMN, UML, etc.).

- Excellent verbal and written English communication skills.

- Bachelor’s degree in information technology, computer science or similar.

Personal traits
