One of my direct clients, a global leader in information solutions, software, and services, is looking for a Solution Architect - Global Audit.
100% remote
Mandatory Skills - .NET and C# and CI/CD + IaC (Terraform/Bicep), Azure expertise (AKS/Kubernetes and AKS Networking Storage Monitoring), Solution Architecture (SaaS/distributed), Multi-region architecture (DR data residency), NFRs and microservices and observability, Agentic Design
Rate - DOE
Duration - 12+ months, C2C or FTE, cannot sponsor
Client details will be shared post technical call
What You ll Do
•Own end-to-end solution architectures spanning engagement workflows, content/knowledge, analytics, and agentic capabilities.
•Design multi-region deployment architectures: region pairing, data residency boundaries, tenant isolation, and disaster recovery strategies.
•Define NFRs and measurable acceptance criteria (latency, availability, RPO/RTO, security/privacy, cost) traceable to epics/tests.
•Lead Well-Architected reviews and produce remediation plans and platform guardrails for global rollout.
•Design agentic execution surfaces that are region-aware (policy, data locality, model/tool routing) with audit logs and provenance.
•Prototype and validate critical cross-cutting components (search/indexing, evidence storage lifecycle, agent orchestration) and publish ADRs.
•Coach teams on documentation hygiene, diagramming, and prompt discipline for Copilot/agentic development.
Outcomes & Measures (examples)
•Multi-region reference architecture published (C4 + deployment + sequence diagrams) within 30 days.
•NFR catalogue and dashboards live with regional SLOs, error budgets, and DR metrics.
•POCs deliver go/no-go decisions for at least two high-risk areas per quarter (e.g., evidence store, agent runtime isolation).
•Regional rollout playbook: compliance gates, operational readiness checks, and change management.
Required Qualifications
•10+ years in software engineering; 5+ years in solution architecture for distributed SaaS.
•Azure depth: AKS/Kubernetes, networking, Key Vault, storage, observability, and multi-region patterns.
•Ability to reverse-engineer and guide modern .NET systems; strong performance profiling mindset.
•Strong documentation/governance: SDD-aligned artefacts, ADRs, and measurable NFR acceptance criteria.
•Hands-on POC capability and data-driven decision making.
Preferred Qualifications
•Experience with global SaaS compliance considerations (data residency, privacy, cross-border transfer constraints).
•Experience designing safe agentic systems at scale (evaluation, drift monitoring, auditability).
•Experience with S3-compatible WORM/object lock patterns and legal hold concepts for evidence.
•Event-driven integration patterns and schema governance.Core Competencies
•Systems thinking with a global-operations lens.
•Ability to produce crisp executive narratives and deeply technical artefacts.
•Operational excellence: observability, runbooks, incident learning loops.
•Comfort with ambiguity and cross-region stakeholder alignment.Tools & Environment (representative)•Editor: VS Code (Copilot Chat/Agents).
•Languages: C#/.NET; Python/TypeScript for POCs and evaluation harnesses.
•Cloud: Azure (AKS/Kubernetes, Key Vault, Blob/ADLS, App Gateway/Ingress, Monitor/Log Analytics).
•CI/CD: Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions; IaC (Bicep/Terraform).
•Diagrams/Docs: Mermaid + C4; markdown in repo (/docs) with ADRs in /docs/adr.
•Storage: S3-compatible evidence stores with lifecycle tiering and immutability controls.
•AI/Agents: Foundry Agent Service / MAF; region-aware model/tool routing where applicable.
Interview Process (indicative)
•Deep-dive: show prior multi-region architecture and how you handled NFRs and compliance.
•Practical: design a EU/APAC deployment with data residency constraints; define DR strategy; produce diagrams + ADR.
•Agentic design: define isolation, guardrails, and audit trails across regions.
Notes
•Must be comfortable working with globally distributed teams and balancing speed with compliance.
•Hands-on role: expected to prototype and contribute architecture artefacts in repos.
