Role : Solution Architect
Skills : API Integrations, Database Architecture, Documentation & Code Reviews, production-grade systems, Security & Secure Architecture, Solution Architect, System Design & Distributed Systems
Project Highlights :
A global technology and social-impact project focused on building secure, scalable software solutions for healthcare and underserved communities. The role offers global exposure, complex architecture challenges, international collaboration, and meaningful real-world impact.
Roles and Responsibilities :
- Define system architecture for major builds and significant architectural changes. Create architecture diagrams, data models, integration boundaries, extension points, and scalability approaches.
- Define and document Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) covering performance, scalability, reliability, availability, security, usability, maintainability, and supportability.
- Work closely with Solution Engineers and Product Managers during the architecture and design phase.
- Present and explain architectural decisions to technical stakeholders.
Technical & Code Review :
- Review and approve high-risk technical changes and pull requests. Review authentication, authorization, session management, data models, migrations, sensitive-data handling, integrations, infrastructure, CI/CD, cryptography, and major framework/dependency upgrades.
- Review design plans before implementation of high-risk changes.
- Review performance and load-testing approaches and results.
- Review security findings and ensure appropriate remediation.
- Conduct periodic codebase and architecture health reviews.
Security & Reliability :
- Define the scope of security and penetration testing activities.
- Oversee vulnerability remediation in collaboration with engineering teams. Ensure security best practices are incorporated into architecture and implementation.
- Provide architectural guidance during critical incidents and architecture-level issues.
Technical Leadership & Knowledge Transfer :
- Provide architectural guidance and mentorship to engineering teams.
- Conduct regular handover and knowledge-transfer reviews.
- Identify and address key-person dependencies and architectural risks. Evaluate emerging AI/engineering tools and technologies relevant to software development.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering frameworks and architecture practices.
Requirements :
- Strong experience as a Solution Architect, Software Architect, Technical Architect, or Engineer of Record.
- Proven experience designing and building production-grade platforms, not only conducting architecture reviews.
- Strong hands-on software engineering background.
- Experience with the technology stack relevant to the project. Strong understanding of system design, distributed systems, scalability, APIs, integrations, databases, cloud/infrastructure, and security.
- Experience defining and working with Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs). Strong experience with architecture documentation, technical design, and code reviews.
- Experience handling high-risk technical changes and production systems.
- Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills.
Preferred Experience :
- Experience working in LMIC (Low- and Middle-Income Country) environments. Experience with health-tech, donor-funded health programmes, or similar large-scale social-impact technology projects.
- Experience working with low-connectivity or resource-constrained environments. Experience with security, vulnerability management, penetration testing, and secure software architecture.
- Experience providing technical leadership across distributed or cross-functional teams.
