Application Architect

Job Description : Application ArchitectRole purpose :

The Application Architect will strengthen the central platform engineering capability across enterprise applications in wealth management, CRM, middleware, analytics, and AI-enabled platforms. This role is intended for architects with a profile similar to strong hands-on application architects who combine deep engineering capability with solution design, delivery leadership, and platform thinking.

Role summary :

The Application Architect will be responsible for designing scalable, secure, and maintainable application architectures across business-critical platforms. The role requires strong ownership across backend architecture, microservices, cloud-native design, APIs, data access patterns, observability, security, and engineering governance.

The architect will work closely with product owners, engineering leads, database and data platform teams, DevOps, middleware teams, and AI teams to ensure that platforms are modular, high-performing, and future-ready.

Key objectives :

• Design and evolve enterprise application architecture for CRM, wealth management, dashboards, analytics, and digital platform use cases.

• Define scalable and reusable architecture patterns for backend services, APIs, integrations, and platform components.

• Improve system reliability, maintainability, performance, and production readiness across business-critical applications.

• Align pod-level application development with central architecture standards, engineering governance, and integration principles.

• Enable AI-first application design by ensuring that platforms can securely consume data services, analytics services, and AI capabilities.

• Provide technical leadership across design reviews, solutioning, delivery planning, and engineering standards.

Key responsibilities :

• Design end-to-end solution architecture for new initiatives and modernization programs.

• Define application architecture patterns for microservices, APIs, event-driven systems, integration layers, and modular monoliths where appropriate.

• Review business and functional requirements and convert them into scalable technical architectures.

• Work with database and data platform teams to define clean data access patterns, service boundaries, and integration contracts.

• Establish standards for performance, caching, resiliency, observability, logging, security, and deployment readiness.

• Lead architecture and code reviews across engineering squads and pods.

• Guide teams on non-functional requirements such as scalability, availability, disaster recovery, monitoring, and cost efficiency.
