Senior Architect - Data Platforms & Architecture

Role Overview

The Senior Architect in Delivery leads architecture and technical direction for multi-team Azure programs across applications, platforms, and data. You connect client goals to scalable designs, guide delivery across teams, and shape modernization work so it delivers measurable results.

At this level, you influence architecture beyond a single project. You set direction across engagements, work with business and technology leaders, raise the bar on delivery quality, and promote reusable patterns. You mentor architects and senior engineers, support strategic pursuits, and turn working solutions into repeatable delivery models.

Responsibilities

• Lead architecture and technical strategy for Azure modernization and transformation programs that span multiple teams and workstreams.
• Translate client goals into scalable designs that align with business priorities, non-functional requirements, delivery constraints, and program-level outcomes.
• Drive architecture across teams so designs follow shared models, standards, and patterns.
• Collaborate with architects and engineers in other domains to integrate solutions and maintain a cohesive end-to-end architecture.
• Provide ongoing architectural guidance during implementation, including reviews of key designs and code, and define patterns and guardrails that teams can reuse.
• Apply solid engineering practices in your primary domain—modular design, clear interfaces, testability, and observability—so solutions remain robust and maintainable.
• Use AI-assisted tooling to accelerate design, code, tests, documentation, and analysis, and help teams adopt effective practices at program scale.
• Lead or co-lead discovery and roadmap work for programs or large workstreams, turning inputs into integrated, testable backlogs with clear non-functional requirements and dependencies.
• Use structured problem solving to clarify scope, dependencies, and risks at program scale, and explain options in terms of value, cost, risk, and time-to-impact.
• Communicate architecture strategy and decisions clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, including executives.
• Build trusted relationships with product, engineering, and technology leaders, and help shape modernization roadmaps in the client’s best interest.
• Provide architecture oversight so designs, interfaces, and integration points support predictable delivery and stable team velocity.
• Align multiple teams on shared outcomes, contracts, and integration points, ensuring dependencies are identified, owned, and tracked through to delivery.
• Help define delivery approaches, working agreements, and documentation practices that keep 3Cloud and client teams aligned across locations and time zones.
