Solution Architect

Responsibilities

• Get to the bottom of what the client needs, and turn it into architecture that scales and survives contact with reality
• Design the system and choose the stack for new builds
• Stay hands-on — write and review production code, and prototype when a design needs proving rather than describing
• Look at existing systems and APIs and call what's reusable, what's a dead end, and what needs replacing
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with client stakeholders, product owners, and developers
• Document the architecture clearly enough that the team can build from it
• Keep the technical direction consistent and feasible as things evolve
• Guide the implementation team and be the person they bring the hard calls to
• Run client workshops and technical discovery sessions
