Solution Architect

Solution Architect

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the architecture assessment and technical optimization of the existing in-house web application and its supporting components.
• Perform a comprehensive current-state architecture analysis, covering:
  • Application and system design
  • End-to-end data flows
  • Database structures
  • Integration points and interfaces
  • Application and infrastructure dependencies
• Assess the existing technology landscape, including Angular, Java, Python Flask, Nginx, Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL), Oracle LRCF, and the associated data synchronization architecture.
• Define the target solution architecture, including:
  • Logical and physical architecture
  • Component responsibilities and dependencies
  • Interfaces and integration patterns
  • Deployment architecture
  • Data and integration flows
• Review existing architectural decisions and identify gaps, risks, technical debt, and deviations from architectural standards, providing actionable recommendations and mitigation strategies.
• Review and recommend improvements to authentication and authorization mechanisms, leveraging OAuth 2.0, Azure AD, IAM roles, and FUN groups.
• Ensure a clear separation between administrator and local-user capabilities through appropriate Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and authorization models.
• Assess the automated synchronization of model-point data from the Oracle LRCF database to the QUASII database, including data flow, reliability, consistency, monitoring, and failure-handling mechanisms.
• Define architectural solutions to support key non-functional requirements, including:
  • 24x7 availability and resilience
  • Responsive application performance
  • Scalability
  • Maintainability and supportability
  • Excel compatibility
  • Secure data processing and handling
• Update and maintain the Solution Design Document (SDD), ensuring it includes:
  • Architecture views and diagrams
  • Integration architecture
  • NFRs and quality attributes
  • Architecture decisions and rationale
  • Dependencies and assumptions
  • Identified gaps and risks
  • Quality scenarios and acceptance criteria
• Collaborate closely with Product, Development, Business, Security, IAM, Infrastructure, Enterprise Architecture, and Architecture Governance stakeholders.
• Provide architectural guidance to development and technical teams and ensure proposed solutions align with enterprise architecture, security, and governance standards.
