Solution Architect Full-Stack & Mobile Application Architecture

Surat / Ahmedabad Hybrid / On-site 7+ years in software engineering (Java/.NET mandatory), with 2+ years in a dedicated Solution Architect role including ownership of SADs, TDDs, design reviews, and architectural governance Role Overview We are looking for a Solution Architect who can bridge the gap between business needs and technical execution. This is a hands-on role you will design end-to-end application architectures across web and mobile, write and review code alongside delivery teams, and mentor developers as they grow. You will not just draw diagrams; you will roll up your sleeves and prove your designs work. Key Responsibilities Architecture Design Application Architecture: Design and own application architecture for full-stack and mobile solutions spanning frontend, backend, APIs, databases, mobile apps, and integrations. Requirements Translation: Translate business and functional requirements into technical designs, including component diagrams, data models, sequence flows, and technology selection rationale. Standards Governance: Define and enforce architectural standards, design patterns, and coding best practices across project teams. Technology Evaluation: Assess and introduce modern technologies, frameworks, and tools where they add genuine value not novelty. Data Modeling: Define data models and make informed decisions between relational and NoSQL approaches based on use cases. Data Lifecycle Retention: Establish strategies for data storage, archival, and retention aligned with business and compliance needs. Data Consistency Patterns: Apply appropriate consistency models such as eventual consistency and CQRS where required. Hands-On Delivery Technical Delivery: Lead and participate in hands-on delivery prototyping, building reference implementations, conducting code reviews, and resolving complex technical blockers. Planning Estimation: Contribute to estimation, technical risk assessment, and solution proposals during project planning. Documentation: Document architectures clearly enough that teams can build from them independently. Architecture Artifacts: Create and maintain ADRs (Architecture Decision Records), C4 model diagrams, and API contracts (OpenAPI/Swagger). Leadership Collaboration Mentoring: Mentor and coach mid-level and junior developers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement. Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborate with product owners, business analysts, and stakeholders to evaluate trade-offs and recommend pragmatic solutions. Observability Monitoring Logging, monitoring, tracing (OpenTelemetry, ELK, CloudWatch) Alerting incident response design KPIs Success Metrics System Scalability Performance: Ensuring applications can handle projected load with sub-second latency. Technical Debt Reduction: Measurable decrease in legacy issues and code complexity over time. Architectural Alignment: Zero major deviations from the approved design during the development lifecycle. Time-to-Market Efficiency: Improving delivery speed through reusable components and standardized frameworks. Performance Tuning Effectiveness: Implementation and impact of performance tuning strategies, including caching and database optimization. Load Testing Benchmarking: Regular execution of load testing and benchmarking to validate system performance against defined thresholds. Profiling Optimization Practices: Effective use of profiling tools and techniques to identify bottlenecks and improve system efficiency. Technical Skills Qualifications Experience (Non-Negotiable) 7+ years of hands-on professional software engineering experience, of which a mandatory 2+ years must have been in a dedicated Solution Architect role with a proven track record of: o Authoring Solution Architecture Documents (SADs) and Technical Design Documents (TDDs) o Providing technical direction to delivery teams and leading design reviews o Planning architecture and delivery roadmaps across full project lifecycles o Enforcing adherence to best practices, standards, and governance frameworks o Candidates who cannot evidence the above with real examples from prior roles will not be progressed. Backend Server-Side Technologies: Strong proficiency in Java or .NET (mandatory), with working knowledge of Node.js as an advantage. Object-Oriented Programming: Solid command of OOP principles (encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction) with demonstrable application in enterprise-grade backend systems. This is a core requirement, not a nice-to-have. Frontend UI Frameworks: Hands-on experience with React, Angular, or Next.js. Mobile Mobile Architecture: Experience in architecting mobile application solutions. Flutter experience is desirable. Solution Architect API Design: Solid experience designing RESTful and event-driven APIs. Knowledge of GraphQL APIs. Cloud AWS: Practical experience with AWS and its managed services for application workloads compute, storage, messaging, and serverless. DevOps Infrastructure CI/CD Containers: Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and infrastructure-as-code concepts. Delivery Ways of Working Agile Methodology: Experience working in SAFe Agile or WaterAgile (hybrid waterfall/agile) delivery environments. Education Degree: Bachelor s or master s degree in computer science or information technology. Nice to Have Exposure to domain-driven design, microservices patterns, or event-driven architectures. Experience with integration middleware or API management platforms. AWS Solutions Architect certification, TOGAF, or equivalent. Prior consulting or multi-client delivery experience. Soft Skills AI-Augmented Delivery: Ability to leverage AI tools and LLMs within project execution for design, development, review, documentation, and problem-solving to accelerate delivery and improve quality.
