Application Architect — Enterprise & AIThis is a delivery-focused architecture role for someone who loves turning complex business problems into working technical solutions. As an Application Architect, you’ll be the technical lead on product and platform initiatives — taking requirements from product and engineering and designing the systems needed to deliver them. You’ll be embedded in delivery — shaping how AI-enabled features, integrations, and services are designed and built responsibly, with security and compliance embedded from the start. Solution design for your initiatives - You translate product and business requirements into clear, well‑reasoned technical designs — component diagrams, integration specs, data models, and sequence flows that engineering teams can build from. AI & agent implementation design - You design AI-enabled features and workflows within your initiatives: You make these capabilities concrete, buildable, and production‑ready — informed by the architectural standards set at enterprise level. Security & compliance by design - In partnership with AppSec and risk functions, you ensure security controls, PCI/PII requirements, and responsible AI practices are embedded in solution design — not retrofitted during delivery. Technical governance within delivery - You guide and review engineering work throughout the build — attending design sessions, reviewing pull requests where it matters, and helping teams navigate technical decisions without creating bottlenecks. Estimation & gate input - You produce Gate 0 (ROM) and Gate 1 (detailed)



architecture estimates for your initiatives, with clearly documented assumptions, risk flags, and dependency inventories that product and portfolio teams can plan from. Integration designs with explicit API contracts, event schemas, and data ownership boundaries. Architecture estimates (Gate 0 and Gate 1) with assumptions logs and risk registers. AI feature designs that are production‑ready, governed, and aligned with enterprise AI patterns. Fewer late‑stage surprises caused by integration gaps, compliance oversights, or unresolved NFRs. You don’t need to be an expert in all of it, but you should be able to navigate it confidently and make good architectural decisions within AWS, Java, Angular, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Amazon Kiro, Kafka, SQS, GitHub etc. AI tooling is evolving quickly. Architecture here is a delivery function, not an ivory tower. We work in agile delivery teams, and solution architects are embedded participants — not external reviewers who parachute in at the start and disappear until go‑live. Architecture in agile You’ll attend sprint ceremonies, backlog refinement sessions, and design reviews as a first‑class team member. Architecture decisions are made iteratively — you’ll produce just enough design upfront to unblock the team, then evolve it as delivery progresses and complexity becomes clearer. Design reviews and ARB Significant architectural decisions are documented in Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and reviewed by the Principal Architect. You’ll lead the preparation and presentation of your solutions, with the Principal Architect providing governance and pattern alignment rather than sign‑off on every detail. Most initiatives touch shared platforms, APIs, or data services owned by other teams. Architecture artefacts — diagrams, ADRs, integration specs, assumptions logs — are first‑class outputs of your role, not afterthoughts. Begin contributing architectural observations back to the Principal Architect to inform pattern refinement. 5–10 years in software engineering, with meaningful experience in solution or technical architecture roles on multi‑team delivery programs. Solid cloud architecture experience on AWS — services, networking, data, and security patterns in a delivery context. Hands‑on experience designing and integrating AI‑powered features — including LLMs, RAG patterns, and agentic workflows. Good working knowledge of backend services (Java ecosystem preferred), data systems,



and front‑end integration points. Able to produce clear architecture artefacts: component diagrams, sequence diagrams, ADRs, and integration specs. You’re excited about AI’s potential in product but grounded about what that means in practice. You’ll have regular 1:1 time with the Principal Architect — not just for design reviews, but for deliberate coaching on architectural breadth, strategic thinking, and stakeholder influence. The Principal Architect is invested in developing application architects who can grow into senior and principal roles over time. Architecture community of practice. We run a fortnightly architecture community that brings application architects, tech leads, and the Principal Architect together to discuss patterns, review emerging technology, and share lessons from delivery. We’re explicit about what that progression requires and actively support the people who are working toward it. We support ongoing professional development through cloud certifications (AWS Solutions Architect Professional), architecture frameworks (TOGAF), and attendance at relevant industry events and conferences. You’re the technical voice on solution decisions — with the credibility to challenge scope, surface risk, and unblock delivery.
