Solution Architect

Bcs Technosoft; Gurugram District; Hybrid; INR 2,500,000 - 4,200,000; Full time

Job summary

Bcs Technosoft invites an experienced Solutions Architect to design scalable architectures across mobile and backend, ensuring secure, high-performance integrations for complex digital platforms with demanding traffic, peak promos, and multichannel ecosystems.

You will lead architecture reviews, collaborate with product and engineering teams, and validate decisions with hands-on prototypes, reference implementations, and production-like spikes to prove impact and reliability.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in solutions architecture for high-scale digital platforms.
• Deep expertise in microservices and API-first design.
• System integration patterns including REST and messaging (Kafka, Pub/Sub).
• Cloud platforms experience (GCP preferred; AWS acceptable).
• Hands-on familiarity with mobile architectures (native + hybrid).
• Security principles for APIs and data access.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end architecture across mobile, backend microservices, and integrations.
• Translate product requirements into scalable, secure, high-performance solutions.
• Define and enforce API standards, integration patterns, and data flows.
• Drive non-functional requirements: scalability, resiliency, performance, observability, and security.
• Lead architecture reviews and challenge weak solutions.

Solutions Architect

Job Description

Designs and ensures adherence to his/her recommended IT system landscape for optimal data flow, operational stability and avoidance of risks among systems supporting internal business processes.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end architecture across mobile (iOS/Android), backend microservices, and integration layers
• Translate product requirements into scalable, secure, and high-performance solutions
• Define and enforce API standards, integration patterns, and data flows
• Drive non-functional requirements: scalability, resiliency, performance, observability, and security
• Lead architecture and design reviews, actively challenging weak or incomplete solutions
• Ensure system readiness for high-traffic events (promos, campaigns, peak loads)
• Design for failure by default (timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, fallbacks)
• Collaborate with product, UX, engineering, and external partners to align solutions
• Identify and mitigate technical risks early, before they impact delivery
• Guide teams in adopting modern architecture patterns (microservices, event-driven, cloud-native)

Hands-on Architecture Validation (Non-Negotiable)

• Translate architecture into working code, prototypes, or technical spikes
• Build reference implementations to validate: API contracts, Integration patterns (REST, async messaging), Performance assumptions, Failure handling (retry, timeout, fallback strategies)
• Capable of implementing a minimal but production-realistic service or API
• Demonstrates how architecture decisions impact actual code structure and runtime behavior
• Expected to spend 1020% of time on hands-on validation, prototyping, or deep technical reviews

Core Qualifications

• Proven experience in solutions architecture for high-scale digital platforms (telco, fintech, e-commerce, or similar)
• Deep expertise in: Microservices and API-first design, System integration (REST, event-driven, messaging systems such as Kafka or Pub/Sub), Cloud platforms (GCP preferred; AWS acceptable), Familiarity or hands-on experience with Node.js and MongoDB
• Demonstrated ability to design for: High concurrency and traffic spikes, Resiliency and fault tolerance, Performance optimization at scale
• Hands-on experience with: Mobile architectures (native + hybrid such as KMP, WebView, React Native), Backend systems and integration layers
• Strong understanding of security principles (authentication, authorization, secure APIs)
• Proven ability to back architecture decisions with working code, prototypes, or technical spikes

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in telco or subscription-based platforms (e.g., data wallets, billing, entitlements)
• Familiarity with real-time streaming platforms (Kafka, Pub/Sub)
• Experience with feature flags, personalization, or segmentation systems
• Knowledge of observability practices (logging, metrics, tracing)
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and release strategies (blue-green, canary deployments)

Leadership & Ways of Working

• Challenges assumptions and pushes back on weak requirements and designs
• Communicates clearly and directlyno reliance on buzzwords or vague abstractions
• Makes sound decisions with incomplete information and tight timelines
• Takes ownership of outcomes, not just architecture artifacts
• Works effectively across cross-functional teams and external partners

Hiring Requirements

• Minimum 5-8 years of experience in software engineering, system design, or solutions architecture
• At least 3 years in a Solutions Architect or equivalent role for high-scale digital platforms
• Proven experience designing and delivering end-to-end systems across mobile, backend, and integrations
• Experience in industries such as telco, fintech, e-commerce, or other high-traffic digital platforms
• Hands-on involvement in production systems handling high concurrency and traffic spikes

Level of Knowledge

Strong expertise in:

• Microservices architecture and API-first design
• System integration patterns (REST, event-driven, messaging systems)
• Cloud platforms (GCP preferred; AWS also acceptable)

Solid understanding of:

• Scalability, resiliency, and performance engineering
• Security principles (authentication, authorization, secure APIs)
• Observability (logging, monitoring, tracing)

Hands-on familiarity with:

• Mobile app architectures (native and hybrid: KMP, WebView, React Native)
• Backend technologies and integration layers

• Experience or familiarity with Node.js and MongoDB is a plus
• Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
