We are seeking a hands-on and pragmatic Solution Architect to lead the design and delivery of system integration and digital transformation solutions under the Enterprise Technology division.
This role is responsible for end-to-end solution architecture, spanning application, integration, data, and infrastructure layers. The Solution Architect will play a key role across the full lifecycle — from early-stage discovery and MVP design to scalable architecture, governance, and continuous evolution of solutions.
The ideal candidate combines strong technical depth with business understanding, and is able to translate real-world operational needs into practical, scalable, and maintainable system architectures.
1. End-to-End Solution Architecture
- Define and own overall system architecture across applications, integrations, and data layers
- Design scalable, modular, and maintainable solutions aligned with business requirements
- Ensure architecture supports both rapid MVP delivery and long-term scalability
- Define and evolve architecture roadmap beyond MVP
2. Technical Design & Integration
- Design integration architecture across systems (ERP, IoT devices, APIs, third-party platforms)
- Define data flows, system interactions, and integration patterns
- Ensure reliability, performance, and security across all components
- Evaluate and select appropriate technologies, frameworks, and tools
3. Architecture Governance & Standards
- Define and enforce architecture standards, design patterns, and best practices across projects
- Establish reusable components and reference architectures
- Ensure consistency, scalability, and maintainability across solutions
- Govern key technical decisions across multiple implementations
4. Collaboration with Business & Delivery Teams
- Work closely with Project Manager (PM/PO/BA) to translate business requirements into technical solutions
- Collaborate with Product Designers to align system design with user workflows and experience
- Provide technical leadership and guidance to development teams
- Act as the bridge between business stakeholders and technical implementation
5. MVP Architecture & Validation
- Define architecture approach for MVP delivery, balancing speed and scalability
- Support prototyping and early-stage experimentation
- Validate technical feasibility and identify constraints early
- Ensure solutions are practical and aligned with real operational needs
- Design solutions that effectively leverage low-code platforms (e.g. OutSystems) to enable rapid development and scalability
6. Risk Management & Solution Integrity
- Identify architectural risks early and design mitigation strategies
- Ensure system resilience, performance, and security considerations are addressed
- Anticipate scalability and integration challenges
7. Cloud & Infrastructure Alignment
- Work closely with Cloud Architect to define:
- Deployment architecture
- Environment setup (DEV/SIT/PROD)
- Performance, scalability, and cost optimization
8. Data & Analytics Integration
- Collaborate with Data Science and Analytics team to ensure:
- Proper data architecture and integration
- Readiness for reporting, analytics, and future AI use cases
9. Solution Evolution & Continuous Improvement
- Evolve architecture from MVP to production-grade and scalable solutions
- Identify opportunities for optimization, reuse, and standardization
- Enable solutions to scale across multiple clients and use cases
- Support long-term digital transformation initiatives
10. Client & Stakeholder Advisory
- Act as a trusted technical advisor to stakeholders
- Provide guidance on architecture decisions, trade-offs, and technology direction
- Support alignment between business goals and technical strategy
Requirements Experience :
- 6–10 years of experience in software engineering, system design, or solution architecture
- Proven experience designing and delivering enterprise or system integration solutions
- Experience working across multiple systems (ERP, APIs, IoT, data platforms)
Technical Skills
- Strong understanding of system architecture (application, integration, data, and infrastructure layers)
- Experience with API design, microservices, or modular architectures
- Familiarity with cloud platforms and deployment architecture
- Ability to translate business requirements into scalable and maintainable technical solutions
- Experience with low-code platforms such as OutSystems is an advantage
Preferred Experience
- Exposure to manufacturing, IoT, or operations-driven environments
- Experience working with offshore teams and distributed delivery models
- Experience in early-stage or fast-scaling environments
Education
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field is preferred
Certifications
- Cloud certifications (e.g. AWS Certified Solutions Architect or equivalent) are advantageous
- Experience or certification in OutSystems (e.g. Professional/Architecture Specialist) is preferred
- TOGAF or other architecture certifications are a plus but not mandatory
Key Attributes
- Strong ownership and accountability for technical decisions
- Hands-on and pragmatic approach (able to balance ideal vs practical)
- Strong problem-solving and structured thinking
- Ability to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions
- Strong communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and evolving requirements
Why Join This Role
- Opportunity to build and own the architecture foundation of a new Enterprise Technology function from the ground up, with direct influence on how solutions are designed, delivered, and scaled
- Work on complex, real-world system integration challenges (e.g. manufacturing, IoT, operational systems), where your designs directly impact business operations
- High level of ownership and autonomy — you will drive key technical decisions, not just implement predefined solutions
- Close collaboration with leadership, providing strong exposure to both technical and business strategy
- Opportunity to shape architecture standards, reusable components, and long-term technology direction for the organization
- Operate in a lean and fast-moving environment where your contributions are visible, impactful, and recognized
- Grow beyond project-level work into solution portfolio ownership and strategic architecture leadership
