• Ensure systems are highly configurable, support unified branding, and eliminate hardcoded logic through modularization.
• Collaborate closely with onshore and nearshore product owners, engineers, and 15+ product teams to identify integration points and reuse opportunities across the ecosystem.
• Champion best practices in CI/CD, DevSecOps, API management, and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform).
• Build architectural artifacts (context diagrams, interface contracts, service blueprints) and participate in architecture review boards.
• Provide technical leadership and mentoring to engineering teams, and ensure solutions are future-proof, secure, and performance-optimized.
• Leverage project knowledge for future enterprise initiatives, becoming a strategic advisor and subject matter expert within the client enterprise.

• Strong architectural knowledge of microservices, containerization (Docker), Kubernetes, and serverless computing.
• Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.
• Proficiency in modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular, Vue) and API-first integration strategies.
• Deep understanding of CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, performance tuning, and observability.
• Demonstrated success in enterprise-scale system modernization, re-platforming, or re-architecture initiatives.
