Job Description
The Technical Architect will serve as the technical point of reference, with the objective of transforming business goals into robust, evolvable, secure, and operable architectures. They will lead end-to-end technical architecture design, establish technical and non-functional criteria, support the team during implementation, and ensure that deliverables meet the quality, performance, resilience, and security levels required by a critical enterprise platform.
Responsibilities
• Define the end-to-end technical architecture of the project, including components, integrations, data flows, dependencies, and boundaries of responsibility.
• Make and document architectural decisions using ADRs, evaluating alternatives, trade-offs, evolution costs, risks, and operational consequences.
• Translate functional and non-functional requirements into implementable designs, technical acceptance criteria, and an evolution roadmap.
• Design scalable and resilient distributed solutions, considering consistency, concurrency, idempotency, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery.
• Participate in the development of critical components and conduct code reviews focused on design, maintainability, security, and operational behavior.
• Define the testing and quality strategy: unit, integration, contract, end-to-end, performance, resilience, and security testing.
• Design and review APIs, integration contracts, persistence schemas, and compatibility and evolution mechanisms.
• Evaluate performance and capacity through analysis, profiling, load testing, and the definition of measurable latency and throughput targets.
• Ensure the automation of builds, validations, static analysis, deployments, and quality controls within CI/CD pipelines.
• Integrate secure-by-design principles, threat modeling, secrets management, access control, and traceability into the architecture.
• Identify technical risks, structural debt, and bottlenecks; prioritize their remediation and communicate their impact on timeline, cost, and scope.
• Participate in planning complex deliveries, technical estimations, milestone definition, and tracking architectural commitments.
