Summary

Role Summary

We are looking for a Lead Applications Enterprise Architect to spearhead the applications landscape for AI readiness via Data Center and Cloud modernization. You will be the architect of a large-scale migration program focused on decomposing legacy monoliths into a modern, simplified, and high-performance application plane. You will define the patterns for low-latency, high-availability, and event-driven systems that power our next generation of digital services.

Key Responsibilities

Modernization & Legacy Refactoring

Migration Strategy: Lead the migration from legacy architectures (N-Tier, Monolithic, Mainframe) to modern cloud-native planes using strategies like the Strangler Fig Pattern.

Complexity Reduction: Identify redundant systems and consolidate application footprints through rigorous refactoring and simplification, turning "spaghetti code" into modular services.

Legacy-to-Modern Bridging: Architect integration layers that allow legacy systems to coexist with modern microservices during long-term migration cycles.

Full-Stack & Advanced Pattern Design

Event-Driven & Streaming: Design high-throughput systems using asynchronous patterns, Event Sourcing, and CQRS. Implement streaming backbones (Kafka, Redpanda) for real-time data processing.

Microservices & Serverless: Establish standardized chassis and sidecar patterns for microservices, ensuring consistency across security, logging, and service discovery.

Low-Latency & HA: Architect for "five nines" (99.999%) availability using multi-region active-active setups, circuit breakers, and edge computing to minimize latency.

Cloud-Native Leadership

Platform Evolution: Leverage Kubernetes (K8s), Service Mesh (Istio/Linkerd), and Serverless (Lambda/Cloud Functions) to build portable, elastic applications.

Twelve-Factor Principles: Enforce Twelve-Factor App methodologies across all new developments to ensure cloud-native compatibility.

Innovation Lab: Lead POCs on emerging tech like WebAssembly (Wasm) or AI-assisted refactoring to accelerate the modernization timeline.

Required Skills & Qualifications

Category	Requirements
Experience	12+ years in Software/Enterprise Architecture; 5+ years leading large-scale modernization programs.
Full-Stack Depth	Mastery of Java/Spring Boot, Node.js, or Go, plus modern frontend frameworks (React/Vue).
Cloud Mastery	Hands-on expertise in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform with a focus on PaaS and Serverless offerings.
Patterns	Deep knowledge of Microservices, EDA, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and API-First design.
Infrastructure	Proficiency in Terraform/Pulumi, Docker, and Kubernetes orchestration.
Legacy Knowledge	Familiarity with COBOL, SOAP, old-school RDBMS (Oracle/DB2), and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) patterns.
