• Maintain a strong architectural runway that enables teams to deliver value continuously and predictably.
• Lead by example in adopting and advocating for AI‑powered development tools and coding assistants, improving productivity, code quality, and delivery speed across the team.
• Apply a Shift Left mindset, embedding quality, security, and performance considerations early in the development lifecycle.
• Engage with Enterprise Architecture, the Architecture Review Board, Cloud Delivery, and broader technology teams to ensure solutions meet firm‑wide standards for security, compliance, and reliability.
• Explore emerging technologies and patterns, providing guidance and recommendations when new approaches offer meaningful value.
• Actively identify, track, and reduce technical debt to keep the platform healthy and adaptable.
• Mentor and coach engineers, raising the bar on design quality, engineering practices, and architectural thinking.

Technical Skills Requirements

• 12+ years of experience designing, developing, configuring, and implementing enterprise or SaaS applications using the Microsoft technology stack and .NET.
• Minimum 5 years of experience with data modeling and business intelligence.
• Strong proficiency with Angular and TypeScript.

• Practical experience building or integrating AI solutions, including Azure Document Intelligence and Azure AI Foundry or OpenAI services.
• Proven experience architecting and leading delivery within a scaled Agile (SAFe or similar) program.
• Hands‑on experience with Azure DevOps or similar tools for work item management, along with Git for version control.
• Solid understanding of DevOps principles and deployment automation; experience with Azure DevOps pipelines, Octopus, or comparable tooling.
• Deep knowledge of object‑oriented programming concepts and common design patterns.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate across diverse teams and disciplines.
• Experience working on complex software projects that require cross‑team collaboration.
