• Proficiency in infrastructure‑as‑code architecture using Terraform or Bicep, including module libraries, state management, and deployment patterns.
• Experience designing end‑to‑end API architectures, data access layers, and service integration patterns.
• Familiar with enterprise integration frameworks and microservices architecture.
• Solid understanding of SDLC, agile methodologies, and modern delivery models at a program or enterprise scale.
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear architectural documentation and client‑facing presentations (PowerPoint, Visio, Word, Excel).
• Experience leading cross‑functional teams, providing technical mentorship, conducting architecture reviews, and guiding technical decision‑making.
• Proven ability to conduct cloud assessments, define cloud transformation roadmaps, and create reference architectures.
• Capability to lead evaluations of emerging tools and technologies, drive proofs of concept, and recommend enterprise‑ready cloud solutions.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills—able to bridge business, engineering, and executive stakeholders.
