This role demands deep architectural expertise, strong stakeholder leadership, and the ability to guide engineering teams in delivering secure, scalable, cloud-native applications. Aviation technology experience will be a major plus.Solution Architecture & Design Own end-to-end solution architecture for large-scale systems, ensuring all designs are robust, scalable, secure, and aligned with enterprise technology roadmaps. Define and recommend technology stacks, design patterns, integration models, and deployment strategies. Evaluate current system landscapes and recommend modernization strategies leveraging microservices, event-driven patterns, and cloud-native frameworks. Review and approve application designs, ensuring alignment with architectural guardrails, performance benchmarks, and best practices.Cloud, Integration & Modern Application Architecture Architect distributed systems using microservices, serverless technologies, container orchestration (Kubernetes), and event-driven workflows. Design system integrations using RESTful APIs, Graph QL, asynchronous messaging, message queues, and event streaming platforms. Ensure solutions are cloud-ready and optimized for AWS/Azure/GCP environments, including CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure-as-Code. Contribute to enterprise integration strategies using asynchronous communication models and event-based architectures (EDA).Security, Compliance & Risk Management Embed security-by-design principles into all solutions, ensuring secure coding, IAM enforcement, and API security best practices. Continuously assess emerging threats and risks and define mitigation strategies. Evaluate, select, and integrate security technologies and tools across the SDLC.RFP, Product Evaluation & Stakeholder Alignment Lead technical evaluation of third-party Saa S platforms, tools, and enterprise applications. Contribute to RFP processes by assessing architectural fit, integration complexity, security impact, and long-term scalability. Work with Business Analysts to support business case preparation, identifying high-level dependencies and architectural considerations.Technical Leadership & Collaboration Mentor engineering teams on architecture principles, design patterns, and engineering best practices. Collaborate heavily with development, Dev Ops, infrastructure, and security teams to ensure seamless execution. Provide architectural oversight across all SDLC phases, ensuring consistency, quality, and alignment with business outcomes. Maintain and continuously evolve the solution architecture roadmap for assigned business domains.Required Technical / Core Skills8+ years as a Solution Architect, Principal Engineer, or Lead Engineer in enterprise-scale application environments. Strong hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP, particularly in microservices, serverless, and cloud-native deployments.
