Your Challenge
* Design and own Solution Architectures for applications in delivery, ensuring adherence to domain-level targets and architectural principles
* Ensure architectural alignment across the software lifecycle, from concept through testing, release, and operational phases
* Identify, document, and manage architecture debt arising from deviations between transitional implementations and long-term goals
* Initiate and formalise key decisions through Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), securing approval from relevant architecture boards
* Advise and mentor software engineers and Tech Leads on technical implementation, ensuring feasibility, scalability, and compliance
* Collaborate with Product Owners to refine business initiatives, translating requirements into actionable capabilities and building blocks
* Actively contribute to the global Domain Architecture Board: present blueprints, review peer designs, and help shape the overall target architecture
* Enforce architecture governance across development teams and uphold quality standards throughout delivery
