Onsite roleWe are seeking a Senior Application Architect to lead the design, modernization, and transformation of complex enterprise applications. This individual will work closely with engineering teams, business stakeholders, and vendors to define architecture, guide technical initiatives, and support the modernization of legacy and on-premises applications into scalable cloud and hybrid environments.
The ideal candidate has grown from a hands-on software engineering or development background into an architecture role and remains technically involved. This is a technical leadership role without direct people management responsibilities.
What We're Looking ForWe are looking for someone who has started as a developer or engineer and progressed into an architecture role. This person should have strong hands-on technical knowledge but also be able to operate at an architectural and strategic level.
The ideal candidate has experience leading or contributing significantly to a large-scale application transformation, understands the challenges of modernizing legacy environments, and has helped move applications and data from on-premises infrastructure into cloud or hybrid environments.
They should be comfortable leading technical initiatives, working with vendors and stakeholders, mentoring engineers, and getting involved in technical decisions when needed.
This version keeps the actual must-haves front and center without getting bogged down in every possible responsibility.
Key ResponsibilitiesLead application modernization and transformation initiatives across legacy, on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments.
Assess existing applications and recommend modernization strategies, including refactoring, replatforming, migration, replacement, or retirement.
Design scalable target-state architectures, including applications, integrations, APIs, data flows, security, and deployment models.
Lead and support cloud migration initiatives, including moving applications and data from on-premises environments to the cloud.
Develop and promote architecture standards, design patterns, and best practices.
Partner with developers, infrastructure, security, product teams, business stakeholders, and vendors throughout the design and delivery process.
Lead architecture and design reviews and ensure solutions meet security, scalability, reliability, and performance requirements.
Design API-first and event-driven architectures using REST, GraphQL, messaging, and streaming technologies.
Support architecture decisions involving mobile platforms and ensure mobile applications integrate effectively with enterprise systems and APIs.
Promote modern engineering practices, including CI/CD, DevSecOps, automation, containers, and secure software development.
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers and technical team members.
Evaluate vendor solutions and ensure third-party technologies align with architecture and long-term technology strategy.
