• Produce architecture deliverables including:
- Solution architecture diagrams
- Integration designs
- Data flow models
- Non-functional architecture definitions
• Ensure solutions align with enterprise principles, target architectures, and platform strategies.
2. Architecture Governance & Compliance
• Participate in architecture reviews and governance processes.
• Ensure solutions comply with:
- Enterprise Architecture standards
- Security and risk requirements
- Regulatory and compliance constraints
• Identify architectural risks, trade-offs, and technical debt.
3. Collaboration with Delivery Teams
- Work closely with Product Owners, Tech Leads, and Engineers to guide implementation.
