Role:-

We are looking for a Senior Technical Architect to provide technical leadership on an established, large-scale enterprise digital program (a running account with multi-year continuity). This is a hands‑on‑enough architecture leadership role: you will own the technical quality of the platform end to end, drive estimation and solutioning, and act as the guardian of non‑functional requirements – security, performance, accessibility, and analytics/observability – across every release.

The right person is equally comfortable in an architecture review, an estimation workshop, and a client‑facing solution conversation, and can hold the technical line on a mature codebase while continuously modernizing it. The role is not tied to a single account – you will be expected to bring architecture leadership across engagements as needs evolve.

What Youll Own

Architecture Solution Design

• Define and evolve the end-to-end architecture for enterprise web, mobile, and CMS-driven applications on the account.
• Design composable, headless, API-first, and microservices-based solutions that are scalable, secure, and high‑performing.
• Establish and maintain architecture standards, design principles, and governance frameworks.
• Lead technical discovery, solution roadmaps, and modernization planning.

CMS Digital Experience Platforms

• Architect enterprise CMS/DXP solutions, including headless and hybrid patterns.
• Define content modeling, personalization, localization, workflow, and publishing strategies.
• Lead CMS migrations, upgrades, and modernization programs.
• Integrate the CMS with CRM, CDP, DAM, marketing automation, and analytics platforms.

Technical Leadership Quality

• Provide technical leadership across front‑end and back‑end engineering teams.
• Own coding standards, architecture reviews, performance tuning, and secure‑by‑design practices.
• Define reusable components, shared platform services, and API contracts.

Cloud DevOps

• Architect cloud‑native solutions and own CI/CD, IaC, containerization, and orchestration.
• Define observability, monitoring, logging, and DR frameworks.

Estimation Stakeholder Management

• Lead effort estimation, solution costing, and pre‑sales / proposal support for the account.
• Translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Partner with product owners, delivery managers, and client stakeholders; mentor the team.

Must-Have (Required)

Experience Leadership

• 12+ years in software engineering, with 5+ years as a Technical / Solution Architect.
• Proven track record delivering and sustaining large-scale CMS/DXP programs, ideally on an established / running enterprise account.
• Demonstrated ownership of technical quality, estimation, and stakeholder communication.

CMS / DXP

• Deep, hands‑on - architecture experience with at least one enterprise CMS/DXP - e.g., Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), Sitecore, Optimizely, Contentful, or Drupal.
• Practical experience with headless / hybrid / composable CMS patterns, content modeling, personalization, and multi‑locale publishing.
• Experience leading a CMS migration or modernization program.

Front-End Architecture

• Deep hands‑on experience with at least one modern JS framework (React, Angular, Vue, or Next.js) and strong command of TypeScript / ES6+.
• Component / design‑system thinking and front‑end performance ownership. (Breadth across multiple frameworks is a plus, not a requirement.)

Back-End / Services Architecture

• Depth in at least one server‑side stack (.NET Core, Java/Spring Boot, Node.js, or Python).
• Strong REST and/or GraphQL API design.

Distributed Integration Architecture

• API‑first and microservices design.
• Event‑driven architecture, pub/sub, and messaging/streaming (e.g., Kafka, Azure Service Bus, or equivalent); reactive patterns.

Cloud DevOps

• Cloud‑native architecture on at least one major cloud (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
• CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and containerization/orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes).

Data

• Polyglot persistence - comfortable with at least one relational and one NoSQL store; able to make sound data‑modeling and caching decisions.

Non-Functional Requirements (core to this role)

• Demonstrable ownership of security (secure‑by‑design, OWASP, IAM concepts), performance scalability, accessibility (WCAG), and analytics/observability.
