• Assess impacts of data model changes on business workflows, operational processes, integration points, and downstream systems.
• Ensure application and integration architectures remain aligned with evolving data models and business requirements.
• Support feature design and application architecture activities involving data model changes without assuming ownership of enterprise data architecture. Engineering Leadership & Delivery Support .
• Work closely with Product Owners, Business Analysts, Engineering Leads, QA teams, and Data Architects to deliver business capabilities aligned with release objectives.
• Partner with engineering teams throughout the SDLC to clarify architectural intent and resolve technical design challenges.
• Support sprint planning, backlog refinement, implementation reviews, and release planning activities.
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and architectural guidance to engineering teams.
• Establish reusable architecture assets, standards, reference designs, and implementation frameworks to improve engineering productivity and consistency. Architecture Governance & Operational Readiness
• Participate in architecture governance forums and design review processes.
• Identify technical debt, performance bottlenecks, scalability limitations, and operational risks and recommend remediation strategies.
• Support production readiness reviews, deployment planning, release governance, and post-implementation assessments.
• Develop architecture runbooks, solution diagrams, support documentation, and operational reading.

Educational Qualifications: -

• Engineering Degree BE/ME/BTech/MTech/BSc/MSc.

Technical certification in multiple technologies is desirable.
