The role synchronizes architectural solutions across Squads, resolves architectural differences and dependencies, and defines the critical non-functional requirements - performance, scalability, resilience, security, and observability - for the overarching Tribe solution architecture. It covers solution architecture for BMP components within the Tribe's scope, including integration with Global Shared Services (Decision Management, Output Management, Document Management), and the design of APIs and integration patterns within the BMP API Ecosystem so capabilities remain interoperable and reusable across Operating Entities (OEs). Working closely with the Area Architect and contributing to the Local Design Authority, the Solution Architect keeps Tribe-level architecture aligned to the Area's target architecture and roadmap, keeps documentation current in the architecture master tools, and manages temporary solutions and technical debt to drive continuous improvement of system health.\nQualifications &
