Role: Product Architect
Duration: 4 Months
Location: Remote

Role Overview: As a Product Architect, you will actively engage in your software architecture craft, taking a hands-on approach to multiple high-visibility projects. Your expertise will be pivotal in delivering solutions that delight customers and users, while also driving tangible value for Client's business investments. You will leverage your extensive engineering craftsmanship and advanced proficiency across multiple programming languages and modern frameworks, consistently demonstrating your exemplary track record in delivering high-quality, outcome-focused solutions. The ideal candidate will be a role model and engineering mentor, collaborating with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and deploy advanced software solutions.
Key Responsibilities:

• Outcome-Driven Accountability: Embrace and drive a culture of accountability for customer and business outcomes. Develop engineering solutions that solve complex problems with valuable outcomes, ensuring high-quality, lean designs and implementations.
• Technical Leadership and Advocacy: Serve as the technical advocate for products, ensuring architectural integrity, feasibility, and alignment with business and customer goals, NFRs, and applicable architecture and engineering standards-being responsible for product architecture blueprints, high-level architecture designs (e.g., "4+1 model" or relevant others), and integration architecture into the technical landscape and technology stack.
• Engineering Craftsmanship: Possess passion and experience as an individual contributor, responsible for the engineering designs and technical feasibility of solutions, being hands-on with design, configuration and code part of the time, contributing to team velocity. Actively get engaged with engineers to ensure architecture is understood and can be implemented, working with them closely during sprints, helping resolve any technical issues through to production operations: reviewing code, actively driving technology debt reduction, and helping drive engineering quality. Be self-driven to learn new technologies, experiment with engineers, and inspire the team to learn and drive application of those new technologies.
• Customer-Centric Engineering: Develop lean engineering solutions through rapid, inexpensive experimentation to solve customer needs. Engage with customers and product teams to deliver the right architectural solution for the product in the right way at the right time.
• Incremental and Iterative Delivery: Exhibit a mindset that favors action and evidence over extensive planning. Utilize a leaning-forward approach to navigate complexity and uncertainty, delivering lean, supportable, and maintainable solutions.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration and Integration: Work collaboratively with empowered, cross-functional teams including product management, experience, delivery, infrastructure, and security. Integrate diverse perspectives to make well-informed decisions that balance feasibility, viability, usability, and value. Foster a collaborative environment that enhances team synergy and innovation.
• Advanced Technical Proficiency: Possess deep expertise in modern software engineering practices and principles, including OOD/OOP, Agile methodologies, DevSecOps, Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment, deployment techniques like Blue-., Canary to minimize down-time and enable A/B testing approaches. Act as a Role-Model, leveraging these techniques to optimize solutioning and product delivery, ensuring high-quality outcomes with minimal waste. Demonstrate proficiency in product development, from conceptualization and design to implementation and scaling, with a focus on continuous improvement and learning.
• Domain Expertise: Quickly acquire domain-specific knowledge relevant to the business or product. Translate business/user needs and UX/UI designs into technical requirements and designs. Navigate various enterprise functions such as business and enabling areas as well as product, experience, delivery, infrastructure, and security to drive product value and feasibility as well as alignment with organizational goals.
• Effective Communication and Influence: Exhibit exceptional communication skills, capable of articulating complex technical concepts clearly and compellingly. Inspire and influence stakeholders at all levels through well-structured arguments and trade-offs supported by evidence, evaluations, and research. Create coherent narratives that align technical solutions with business objectives.
• Engagement and Collaborative Co-Creation: Engage and collaborate with stakeholders at all organizational levels, from team members to senior executives. Build and maintain constructive relationships, fostering a culture of co-creation and shared momentum towards achieving product goals. Align diverse perspectives and drive consensus to create feasible solutions.
