Solution Architect

Role Overview

• Own the high-level technical architecture and integration approach for assigned customer implementations.
• Translate customer architecture requirements into scalable and supportable solutions aligned with internal platforms, APIs, and standards.
• Lead technical discussions with customers and internal teams on:
• APIs and system integrations
• Security and authentication (SSO, OAuth, JWT, SAML)
• Real-time and batch data processing
• Networking, VPNs, and private connectivity (e.g., AWS Privatelink)
• Apply best practices for performance, security, monitoring, and messaging architecture.
• Oversee and lead environment setup, including cloud setup and connectivity, API enablement, SSO configuration and monitoring
• Coordinate initial data setup, bulk data loads, and validation activities.
• Lead Production readiness activities including performance testing, security testing, disaster recovery (DR) planning and testing, and production deployment.
• Act as a technical advisor to customers, senior management, and internal engineering teams.
• Collaborate closely with Engineering teams to ensure architecture alignment and consistent delivery.
• Identify delivery risks early, escalate when needed, and support predictable, high-quality implementations.
• Contribute to the standardization of integration, connectivity, and architecture patterns.
• Author and maintain technical documentation including architecture diagrams and recurring technical delivery artifacts.
• Evaluate tools, frameworks, and technical delivery practices, and recommend improvements to increase efficiency, quality, and reliability.

Requirements

• At least 5 years managing complex enterprise technology implementation projects, in solution architect, IT architect, or other relevant roles.
• At least 4 years of hands-on experience in system integration, data architecture, microservices, and API design.

• Ability to identify and address API performance bottlenecks and integration inefficiencies.
• Strong collaboration skills and experience working with engineering, Cloud-architecture, and delivery teams.
• Comfortable operating in environments with evolving requirements and moderate ambiguity.
• Nice to Have hands-on experience with message queues or event-streaming platforms (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ).
• Nice to have Experience contributing to or influencing technical standards and reusable architecture patterns across multiple implementations.
• Experience identifying and mitigating technical risks related to scale, security, or operational readiness.
• Experience participating in or leading architectural reviews, post-mortems, or delivery process improvement initiatives.
• Experience in the airline or travel industry is an asset but is not required.
