About the role

Technology Architect leading engineering delivery functions and innovative solutions with a focus on Generative AI. Shaping future technology landscapes in major cities of India.

Responsibilities

Architect and lead the development of innovative, full-stack solutions with clean, simple interfaces, leveraging open-source components and API-centric design principles.
Drive the exploration and implementation of Gen AI solutions and agentic frameworks.
Lead teams in creating proofs-of-concept and scalable applications that push the boundaries of software development paradigms.
Champion cloud-ready and cloud-agnostic architectural patterns, ensuring applications are built for Kubernetes-native environments.
Drive the migration from legacy hardware to modern, containerized cloud infrastructure, taking accountability for delivery targets.
Take ownership of improving the organization's DORA metrics.
Design, implement, and optimize automated CI/CD pipelines to enable Release-on-Demand (ROD) and foster a culture of continuous delivery.
Influence and guide teams that do not report directly to you to ensure cohesive and timely delivery.
Deliver solutions that are inherently secure and less prone to vulnerabilities by integrating automated security tools like Renovate directly into the development pipeline.
Define and promise the effectiveness of engineering excellence based on objective, measurable metrics.

20+ years of progressive experience in technology, with a significant portion in hands-on architecture, software engineering, and senior leadership roles.
Proven track record as a full-stack architect with deep expertise across multiple technology layers.
Demonstrable experience in designing and delivering Gen AI solutions, with hands-on expertise in agentic frameworks and tools.
Expertise in API-centric design, microservices architecture, and leveraging open-source components.
Extensive experience with cloud-native architecture, including containerization (Kubernetes, Docker) and building cloud-agnostic applications.
Strong background in establishing mature CI/CD pipelines for Release-on-Demand (ROD).
Proven ability to improve DORA metrics and integrate security tools (e.g., Renovate) into the development lifecycle.
Exceptional leadership skills with a demonstrated ability to drive change and deliver results through cross-functional teams, often without direct authority.
Experience championing engineering best practices for code hygiene, repository management, and developer/testing manifestos.
A strong sense of ownership with a track record of taking on and delivering against ambitious targets for technology transformation and legacy system modernization.
Experience within financial services or a similarly complex, large-scale enterprise environment is highly advantageous.
