Senior Solution Architect

About the job

Our mission is to help people integrate technology into everyday life and to enable innovation through technology.

We offer software development and infrastructure solutions, with advanced competences in Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. All our offices (in Western Europe or nearshore, in CEE) are located within the boundaries of the European Union.

We believe working in close cooperation with our clients and employees is the key to success; this means we offer people the best working environment in order to achieve the best results. We love entrepreneurial spirits and encourage people around us to be proactive and make the best decisions not only for business, but for their own personal development.

Our nearshore Romanian offices are in Bucharest (Victoriei Square) and Iasi (Palace) and, with over 9000 team members at group level, we make sure we are always close to our customers.

What you will be working on:

The Solution Architect translates business priorities into secure, scalable, reliable and reusable digital solutions. The role owns architecture decisions and alignment from initial assessment through delivery and formal closure, ensuring that approved solutions support business outcomes and comply with enterprise standards.

The role is accountable for end-to-end solution coherence, high-level design, architectural decisions and cross-domain alignment. It works across Product, Engineering, Enterprise Architecture, Security, Data, Cloud, User Experience and Operations to coordinate dependencies and establish clear ownership of APIs, service levels, risks and architecture decisions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Translate business objectives, product vision, functional requirements and delivery constraints into end-to-end solution designs, technical capabilities, viable implementation options and clearly defined dependencies.
• Define and govern scalable, reliable and secure digital architectures that meet agreed business outcomes and enterprise standards.
• Produce and maintain end-to-end solution blueprints, high-level designs, architecture decision records, integration contracts, dependency maps and implementation guidance throughout the delivery lifecycle.
• Define reusable solution patterns and building blocks that accelerate delivery, reduce duplication and improve consistency across digital platforms.
• Protect solution integrity throughout delivery by reviewing detailed designs, validating conformance with approved architecture, resolving cross-domain design issues, identifying architectural risks and managing technical debt at solution level.
• Contribute to digital and IT strategy by identifying architecture implications, defining target-state capabilities and translating strategic priorities into actionable roadmaps and transition architectures.
• Assess solution and application portfolios against target architecture, lifecycle status, technical debt, cost, risk and strategic fit, and recommend modernization, reuse, consolidation or retirement where appropriate.
• Provide technical leadership and architectural guidance to delivery teams, enabling consistent implementation of approved solution designs.
• Align product, engineering and operations stakeholders on architecture decisions, business priorities, strategic fit and delivery constraints.
• Evaluate supplier solutions, challenge technical proposals, govern architectural compliance and integrate third-party products and services into the enterprise ecosystem.
• Manage architecture commitments, dependencies, risks and decisions across complex delivery environments, and negotiate trade-offs while maintaining alignment with business outcomes and enterprise standards.

Requirements:

• 7 or more years of professional experience in software engineering, technology delivery, technical architecture or related IT disciplines, including typically 3 or more years performing solution architecture responsibilities for enterprise-scale solutions.
• Significant experience in solution architecture or technical architecture for enterprise-scale digital platforms, including responsibility for end-to-end design, architecture governance and delivery assurance in complex environments.
• Demonstrated ability to design enterprise-scale digital platforms and integration solutions aligned with business outcomes, non-functional requirements and enterprise architecture standards.
• Demonstrated ability to select and combine microservices, APIs, cloud and container platforms, event-driven patterns and data technologies to meet solution requirements.
• Experience applying event-driven architecture and integration patterns to support scalable, resilient and loosely coupled enterprise solutions.
• Experience designing solutions for public cloud platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud, including selection of appropriate managed services, deployment patterns and resilience controls.
• Experience working in agile delivery environments and contributing to discovery, refinement, planning, design governance, dependency management and delivery assurance across multiple squads.
• Demonstrated ability to define and govern measurable non-functional requirements covering security and privacy, performance and scalability, resilience and availability, and observability and operability.
• Knowledge of authentication, authorization, encryption, API protection, security testing and secure development controls appropriate to enterprise digital solutions.
• Understanding of frontend architecture considerations, including React-based digital experiences, API integration, performance, accessibility and maintainability.
• Understanding of data architecture principles, including transactional and analytical data stores, data ownership, consistency, privacy, retention, integration and technology selection for enterprise-scale solutions.
• Understanding of technology and application lifecycle management, including obsolescence, licensing, supportability, modernization, consolidation and retirement considerations that influence architecture decisions.
• Ability to identify relevant technology trends and assess their practical applicability to digital platforms, architecture standards and delivery priorities.
• Strong understanding of telecommunications digital channels, customer journeys, product and order management, integration ecosystems, and the operational and regulatory constraints that shape solution architecture.
• Excellent communication, structured decision-making and stakeholder alignment skills, with the ability to explain complex architecture choices, trade-offs, risks and recommendations to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to apply abstract, conceptual and innovative thinking to simplify complex problems, evaluate alternative solution options and define pragmatic architecture recommendations.
• Ability to coordinate cross-domain decisions, resolve competing priorities and maintain alignment between business outcomes, delivery constraints and enterprise standards.
• Ability to influence without direct authority and create accountability across multidisciplinary teams and external suppliers.
• Timely, documented and traceable architecture decisions aligned with agreed business outcomes and enterprise standards.
• Consistent implementation of approved solution designs, supported by effective design assurance and issue resolution.
• Active identification and management of architectural risks, cross-domain dependencies and technical debt.
• Measurable reuse of solution patterns and building blocks that reduces duplication and accelerates delivery.
• Clear ownership of interfaces, service levels, dependencies and architecture decisions from assessment through formal closure.
