App Development Architect

As an App Development Architect, you'll be at the forefront of solution design, defining technical roadmaps, making critical architectural decisions, and ensuring the successful delivery of complex application projects. You'll mentor development teams, promote best practices, and drive innovation across our application development lifecycle, primarily leveraging the power of Google Cloud Platform.
Responsibilities:
Architectural Leadership: Lead the design and architecture of robust, scalable, secure, and high-performance applications, defining technical standards, patterns, and best practices.
Solution Design and Strategy: Translate complex business requirements and user stories into detailed technical designs, architectural blueprints, and implementation strategies for application development projects.
Technology Selection: Evaluate and recommend appropriate technologies, frameworks, and platforms, with a strong emphasis on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services and cloud-native architectures.
Technical Guidance and Mentorship: Provide expert technical guidance and mentorship to development teams, conducting code reviews, and ensuring adherence to architectural principles and coding standards.
Performance and Scalability: Design solutions that meet stringent performance, scalability, reliability, and security requirements, anticipating future growth and evolving needs.
Integration Strategy: Define strategies for integrating diverse systems, including APIs, microservices, third-party platforms, and legacy applications.
Stakeholder Collaboration: Collaborate closely with clients, product managers, project managers, and cross-functional engineering teams to ensure alignment between business goals and technical solutions.
Roadmapping and Innovation: Contribute to technical roadmaps, staying abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends (e. g., AI/ML integration, serverless, containerization) to drive innovation.
Risk Management: Identify potential technical risks and challenges, proposing mitigation strategies throughout the project lifecycle. Design, develop, and maintain high-performance, scalable enterprise applications using. NET Core and C#.
