Role & responsibilities

Role - Solution Architect

Level: Sr. Manager

Location - Bangalore/Hyderabad

The Delivery Excellence Tech Enablement team is seeking a highly hands-on and execution-focused Architect to lead end-to-end technical strategy, design, and implementation across complex, cross-functional initiatives. The Architect plays a critical role in shaping scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions while ensuring alignment with platform-wide standards and long-term engineering direction.

The Architect serves as a technical leader who operates deeply in the code, partnering closely with engineers through practical guidance, pull request participation, and day-to-day mentorship. This role drives architectural clarity and consistency across teams, leading cross-team initiatives, collaborating with technical leaders, and enabling engineering teams to deliver with confidence and technical excellence.

This position also acts as a technical anchor for multiple offshore teams, ensuring adherence to architectural patterns, engineering best practices, and product objectives. Beyond design and governance, the Architect actively supports coding, reviews, troubleshooting, and deliverypromoting strong execution, architectural integrity, and a best-in-class developer experience.

Key Role Information

• 10+ years in engineering or architecture roles, with proven experience designing and delivering modern software solutions.
• This is a hands-on role, therefore you need to be comfortable writing and reviewing code (ideally JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node.js, GraphQL, Microservices, MongoDB).
• Deep understanding of engineering execution from planning and estimation to CI/CD, testing, and deployment.
• Demonstrated ability to lead teams through complex technical deliveries while staying close to the work.
• Strong architectural instincts backed by pragmatic, real-world experience.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills able to navigate technical and non-technical audiences with clarity.
• Ability to openly discuss, understand, and translate business problems into technical solution in real time conversations and refinements.
• Experience bringing back solutions to product teams based on your knowledge of the business, platform, and technical capabilities, instead of architecting and developing exactly what is requested by the product teams.
• Experience in scaled agile environments, with architectural ownership at the Epic or Capability level.
• Proven application on GenAI in the SDLC.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture Design, Ownership & Alignment

• Define, validate, and evolve technical architecture alongside development teams, ensuring alignment with product vision and delivery goals.
• Represent architecture in agile ceremonies, grooming, planning, and design sessions.
• Translate architecture into working solutions collaborating on service and UI patterns, interfaces, data contracts, and NFRs (scalability, observability, security).
• Drive architecture definition and decision-making for your teams while ensuring alignment with Concourse platform patterns and practices.
• Define, validate, and evolve technical architecture alongside development teams, ensuring alignment with product vision and delivery goals.
• Propose and jointly build Proofs of Concept (POCs) with teams to de-risk architecture and validate approaches before wider implementation.
• Act as the offshore/onshore bridge for architecture, working directly with U.S.-based leads to communicate context, validate direction, and ensure technical cohesion.

Hands-On Engineering Leadership

• Stay immersed in the codebase contributing directly to features, refactors, reviews, and CI/CD practices.
• Serve as a technical guide for engineers, modeling clean code practices, testing strategies, and patterns.
• Support developers with hands-on guidance, unblock technical issues, and debug complex system behaviors as needed.

Technical Team Delivery & Developer Enablement

• Work with Tech Leads across multiple teams to ensure successful delivery of technical outcomes.
• Partner with tech leads and delivery managers to ensure consistent execution across sprints and PIs.
• Identify gaps in implementation, drive resolution, and maintain quality under real-world constraints.
• Identify and implement tooling or practices that improve developer experience and velocity.
• Encourage a consultative mindset across the team: helping devs understand the “why” behind the “what.”

Mentorship & Talent Development

• Actively mentor engineers and architects — offering feedback through pairing, PRs, design sessions, and retrospectives.
• Foster growth across the team by sharing architectural principles, tech knowledge, and delivery best practices.
• Evaluate technical strengths and development areas to guide talent evolution.
