- Stay hands-on in coding (C#, .NET Core, and related frameworks), actively contributing to prototyping and solution design.
- Define and guide architectural patterns, reference implementations, and best practices across services and systems.
- Apply event-driven and domain-driven design (DDD) principles to build modular, loosely coupled architectures.
- Work closely with developers, DevOps engineers, and stakeholders to ensure architectural alignment and high-quality delivery.
- Lead technical deep dives and architecture reviews across multiple teams or projects.
- Ensure that all solutions follow security, scalability, and performance best practices.
Requirements
- Strong hands-on experience with .NET / C# (including .NET Core or .NET 6+) and at least 7 years hands on .NET experience and at least 3 years as a Solutions architect.
- Cloud Architecture Expertise: Proven track record designing and deploying solutions on AWS (Lambda, ECS/EKS, API Gateway, SQS/SNS, DynamoDB, etc.).

- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Experience with Terraform, AWS CDK, or CloudFormation.
- CI/CD & DevOps: Familiarity with modern build pipelines, containerization (Docker), and deployment automation.
- Security: Working knowledge of authentication/authorization (OAuth2, OpenID Connect, mTLS) and AWS security best practices.
- Architecture Frameworks: Familiarity with TOGAF or similar frameworks (preferred but not mandatory).
- Agile Delivery: Experience working within Agile and DevOps environments.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience integrating legacy .NET systems with modern cloud-native services.
- Knowledge of observability tools (e.g., CloudWatch, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry).
