  • Design multi‑tenant SaaS platforms with advanced tenant isolation, resource partitioning, and elastic scaling using Azure services.
  • Define and enforce architectural standards for .NET (C#), TypeScript, Angular, SQL Server, and Azure, including dependency injection, SOLID principles, asynchronous programming, and reactive patterns.
  • Design and implement distributed systems: service orchestration, API gateway management, IoT, edge computing, distributed transactions, eventual consistency, CQRS, and event sourcing.
  • Architect for cloud‑native resiliency: circuit breakers, bulkheads, retries, failover, geo‑redundancy, and disaster recovery using Azure App Services, Azure Functions, Service Bus, Cosmos DB, and Azure SQL.

  • Design and implement telemetry pipelines: distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry), structured logging, metrics collection, and real‑time dashboards for system health and diagnostics.
  • Conduct performance profiling, load testing, and capacity planning for backend services and frontend applications.
Automation, Quality, and DevOps
  • Architect and implement CI/CD pipelines with automated build, test, security scanning, and deployment workflows.
  • Integrate static code analysis, code coverage, and quality gates into the development lifecycle.
  • Design and enforce automated testing strategies: unit, integration, contract, and end‑to‑end tests for backend and frontend components.
  • Develop infrastructure as code (IaC) solutions for repeatable, scalable cloud provisioning.
  • Create incident response playbooks for rollback, failover, and recovery, drive down MTTR and automate remediation where possible.
Security, Compliance, and Governance
  • Architect for multi‑tenant security: authentication/authorization (OAuth2, OpenID Connect), encryption at rest and in transit, secrets management, and compliance with SOC 1, SOC 2, GDPR, and other regulatory standards.
  • Implement secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC) practices, threat modeling, and vulnerability management, including ZDR, DLP, No Model Training policies with AI Models.
  • Ensure architectural governance and alignment with enterprise frameworks (TOGAF, Zachman), maintain architecture decision records, and participate in architecture review boards.
Technical Leadership & Collaboration
  • Mentor engineering teams in advanced architectural concepts, distributed systems, cloud‑native development, and best practices.
  • Collaborate with Data Architect, DevOps, IT Services, Engineering and Product Management teams to ensure platform extensibility, integration, and support for complex business requirements.
  • Evaluate and integrate AI/ML services, advanced analytics, and developer productivity tools to enhance platform capabilities.
  • Champion a culture of technical excellence, continuous improvement, and innovation.
Required Experience & Skills
  • Minimum 10+ years in software/platform engineering, with at least 8 years in platform architecture for enterprise SaaS on Azure and .NET tech stack.

  • Mastery of distributed systems, cloud‑native patterns, event‑driven architectures, and microservices.
  • Demonstrated success in technical debt reduction, performance engineering, and architectural modernization.
  • Experience with architectural frameworks (TOGAF, Zachman, C4 Model), architectural governance, and compliance.
  • Strong understanding of platform security, regulatory compliance, and multi‑tenant SaaS challenges.
Success Metrics (First 12 Months)
  • Reduction in platform‑related incidents/support tickets.
  • Improvement in deployment speed and release velocity.
  • Reduction in MTTR for platform incidents.
  • Achievement of modularization milestones (monolith decomposition, service rollout, platform observability in production).
  • Increase in automated test coverage, code quality, and system performance metrics.
Preferred Skills & Certifications
  • TOGAF, Zachman, or similar architecture certification.
  • Advanced knowledge of event sourcing, CQRS, service mesh, and cloud‑native security.
  • Familiarity with semantic technologies, knowledge graphs, and AI/ML integration.
