📋 Description

• Define and govern the platform architecture: establish and maintain reference architectures, principles, standards, and decision records for the platform and its integration patterns. • Drive clear layer boundaries: define responsibilities, contracts, and guardrails for the Experience, Orchestration, and ERP layers (e.g., what belongs where, what is prohibited, and how exceptions are handled). • Modernize workflows safely: analyze complex end-to-end workflows across legacy systems, identify coupling and risk, and create pragmatic decomposition and migration paths that preserve business continuity. • Design for scalability and performance: create architectures that meet SLOs/SLAs, handle peak demand, optimize latency and throughput, and apply caching, asynchronous processing, and data-partitioning strategies as appropriate. • Champion API-first and event-driven integration: standardize service contracts, versioning, idempotency, error handling, and integration patterns; reduce point-to-point integrations through reusable platform capabilities. • Enable automation-ready operations: ensure systems can be provisioned, deployed, and operated via automation (IaC, CI/CD, policy-as-code, automated testing, automated rollback and recovery). • Enable AI-ready foundations: design systems with strong observability, data quality, metadata, lineage, and access controls; define patterns for safe AI augmentation (e.g., retrieval over governed data, human-in-the-loop controls, prompt/tooling boundaries). • Establish reliability and resilience: design for graceful degradation, fault isolation, multi-region strategies (where relevant), and disaster recovery; lead architecture reviews for high-risk changes. • Strengthen security and compliance by design: embed identity, authorization, secrets management, encryption, auditability, and secure SDLC practices into platform standards. • Partner and influence: collaborate with product, engineering, ERP owners, and business stakeholders to align roadmaps; mentor engineers and architects; facilitate architecture reviews and ADR discipline. • Measure and improve: define architecture health metrics (e.g., coupling, reuse, deployment frequency, incident rates, lead time for change) and continuously improve based on outcomes.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering, solutions architecture, or platform architecture, with demonstrated ownership of cross-team architecture decisions. • Proven experience modernizing legacy systems and untangling complex workflows (e.g., monolith-to-services, integration rationalization, phased migrations, strangler patterns). • Deep knowledge of layered architecture and domain boundaries, including API design, integration patterns, and distributed system tradeoffs. • Strong understanding of ERP-adjacent integration considerations (e.g., master data, financial and operational workflows, batch vs. real-time interfaces, change management). • Hands-on experience designing for performance and scale (capacity planning, load testing strategy, caching, async processing, data modeling). • Experience with cloud platforms and modern delivery practices (CI/CD, infrastructure as code, automated testing, containerization/orchestration). • Strong observability mindset (logging, metrics, tracing), with ability to translate operational needs into architecture and standards. • Excellent communication and influence skills: able to align stakeholders, lead architecture reviews, and mentor teams. • Hands-on builder willing to roll up sleeves to help get the initial platform MVP stood up. • Experience mentoring and coaching engineering teams.
