• Establish and enforce coding standards, design patterns, and engineering best practices across frontend (React) and backend (.NET / Python) teams.
• Ensure non-functional requirements (security, scalability, resiliency, observability) are embedded into all solution designs.
• Lead architecture and design reviews for new features, technical initiatives, and third-party integrations within assigned solutions.
• Produce and maintain architecture decision records (ADRs), high-level design (HLD) documents, and API specifications (OpenAPI/Swagger).
• Collaborating with product managers, UX designers, and engineering leads to shape technical roadmaps.
• Provide technical mentorship to senior engineers and conduct design and code reviews.

• Strong understanding of relational and NoSQL database platforms, including data modeling, partitioning, indexing, performance optimization, and selection of appropriate persistence patterns for distributed, cloud-native applications.
• Working knowledge of observability and operational excellence, including monitoring strategies, distributed tracing, telemetry standards, and production diagnostics using Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Grafana, Prometheus, and OpenTelemetry.
• Strong experience with Azure cloud services, including Azure Service Bus, Azure API Management, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and Azure DevOps.
• Advanced understanding of Domain-Driven Design, CQRS, Event Sourcing, and distributed systems patterns.
• Hands-on knowledge and experience in designing and implementing AI-enabled solutions using AI agent frameworks, Azure AI services such as Azure AI Foundry and Azure AI Search, and LLMs/SLMs.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes), and DevSecOps practices.
• Working knowledge of OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0 and fine-grained authorization in multi-tenant SaaS environments.
• Strong understanding of enterprise integration patterns, including API-led connectivity, event-driven messaging, asynchronous communication patterns, data synchronization, system interoperability, and integration platform technologies used to connect cloud, SaaS, and custom applications.
