Responsibilities : The Application Architect owns the end-to-end technical architecture for a state web application, ensuring the solution is secure, scalable, maintainable, and aligned to business and regulatory needs. They translate requirements into microservices and API-driven designs, set coding/engineering standards, and lead teams through Agile delivery, while guiding cloud adoption on AWS (including serverless) and driving production stability through strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis.
Key responsibilities (condensed):
Define and govern solution architecture for web apps: microservices, service integration, and distributed systems. Lead API strategy (design, versioning, publishing) and implement API gateway controls (e.g., Apigee), including robust API security. Establish and enforce Java/Spring Boot engineering standards (OO principles, patterns, best practices), including ORM layers (Hibernate/JPA) and service styles (REST/SOAP, SOA). Design data solutions across relational and non-relational databases (modeling, performance, integration). Architect and guide AWS implementation: Lambda, S3, CloudFront, CloudWatch, SES/SNS and related operational patterns. Partner with stakeholders to translate business needs into architectural decisions, estimate effort for enhancements, and ensure alignment to scope and delivery direction. Provide technical leadership: coach developers, drive GitHub workflows (branch policies, PRs, reviews), and promote automation and AI-assisted development (e.g., GitHub Copilot). Support production operations: triage and resolve tickets, perform root-cause analysis, and lead remediation to closure.
