• Ability to derive a Target Architecture from reference designs and constraints
• Strong understanding of non-functional requirements and guardrail implementation: security, observability, performance, reliability and cost
• Proficiency in cloud and hybrid architectures (Azure, AWS, GCP): networking, IAM, data, secrets, policies, and private endpoints
• Experience with MCP architecture and integration: designing MCP server topology, capability schemas, tool gating/permissions, auditing and tracability
• Familiarity with patterns for agentic/LLM systems such as tool-calling, orchestration, evaluation loops and finetuning pathways
• Expertise in API and integration architecture (REST, GraphQL, events), data contracts, versioning, and resilience
• Excellent communication skills in English
• Good development expertise with at least one programming language
