Solution Architect

Solution Architect

We are seeking an experienced Solution Architect (12+ years) to own the end-to-end solution vision, architecture, and technical governance for large-scale enterprise engagements. The role blends deep hands-on technical expertise with strong stakeholder management to translate business needs into scalable, secure, and cost-optimized solutions across cloud, infrastructure, and digital platforms — driving customer satisfaction and successful delivery.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Act as the primary technical point of contact at the customer location, owning the end-to-end solution architecture and its alignment to business goals.
• Engage directly with customer stakeholders, business owners, and enterprise architects to gather, challenge, and refine requirements and success criteria.
• Lead architecture discussions and design workshops, present solution options, and drive consensus and decisions with the customer.
• Provide thought leadership and build compelling points of view, roadmaps, and proposals during transformation and modernization initiatives.
• Translate business requirements into architecturally sound solutions and clearly communicate design decisions, trade-offs, and impacts to the client.
• Serve as the bridge between the customer and the offshore delivery team — ensuring the offshore team has clear, unambiguous design direction and priorities.
• Own technical governance at the client site: review designs, enforce standards, manage architectural risks, and drive resolution of critical technical issues.
• Support presales and account-growth activities — solutioning, estimation, and responding to new demand and change requests.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams (network, security, data, application, infrastructure) to ensure an integrated, coherent solution.
• Provide status, risks, and mitigation plans to customer and Wipro leadership, and manage escalations to closure.

Requirements / Skills:

• BE / B.Tech / MCA or equivalent; relevant architecture certifications (e.g., TOGAF, AWS/Azure/GCP Solution Architect, or platform-specific) are strongly preferred.
• 12+ years of overall IT experience with at least 4+ years in a dedicated solution/technical architecture role on enterprise-scale programs.
• Proven expertise in architecting distributed, highly available, secure, and scalable solutions across cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), on-premise, and hybrid environments.
• Strong grounding in application, integration, data, network, and security architecture, along with modern patterns (microservices, APIs, event-driven, containers/Kubernetes, DevOps, IaC).
• Experience defining architecture artifacts — HLD/LLD, solution blueprints, non-functional requirements, technology selection, and reference architectures.
• Ability to lead technical due diligence, effort estimation, risk assessment, and trade-off analysis for cost, performance, and security.
• Sound understanding of enterprise security, compliance, and governance frameworks.
• Excellent verbal and written communication with the ability to influence both technical teams and business/executive stakeholders.
• Exposure to at least one industry domain (Manufacturing, Energy & Utilities, BFSI, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Retail & CPG, Telecom, or Public Sector) is an added advantage.

Mandatory Skills:

• OT Device Management for IoT. Experience: 8-10 Years.
