- Define and maintain the architectural vision for systems, ensuring that detailed designs and implementation work adhere to established enterprise architecture principles.
- Provide oversight and direction throughout the SDLC to maintain architectural consistency and technical quality.
2. Requirements Translation &Technical Specifications
- Analyse business requirements- including performance, scalability, and resiliency needs- and convert them into clear architectural specifications and design artefacts.
- Ensure that architecture decisions support both functional and non‑functional needs.
3. Technology Advisory & SolutionRecommendations
- Recommend suitable platforms, tools, and technologies that align with enterprise standards, cloud strategies, legacy modernisation goals, and industry best practices.
- Evaluate new technologies to support digital transformation and advise on adoption suitability (e.g., cloud-native architectures, APIs, containers, SG Tech Stack components).
4. Architecture Blueprinting &Governance
- Design holistic architecture blueprints covering business processes, data flows, application components, and infrastructure models.
- Govern architectural compliance and continuously evolve the blueprint to maintain alignment between business goals and ICT strategies.
5. Technical Review & QualityAssurance
- Participate in solution reviews, code inspections, and technical assessments as part of the development lifecycle.
- Identify architectural risks, propose mitigation strategies, and ensure that designs are robust, secure, and scalable.
6. Collaboration & StakeholderEngagement
- Work directly with technical leads, engineers, product teams, and stakeholders to ensure that architectural decisions are understood and properly implemented.
- Clearly communicate technical concepts and influence decision‑makers through structured reasoning and strong presentation skills.
- Support teams in navigating complex technical challenges and ensuring smooth project delivery.
