Enterprise Architect

Job description

App modernization combined with cloud migration KEY RESPONSIBILITIES • Drive end-to-end GCP target infrastructure design for multi-cloud migrations hybrid networking, IAM, storage, and security perimeters. • Own GCP security architecture (GKE, IAM, VPC Service Controls, Security Command Center) and lead hands-on vulnerability remediation. • Set enterprise blueprints and governance using TOGAF principles; chair ADR boards and run DAR trade-off evaluations vs. AWS/Azure. • Map legacy AWS/Azure architectures and re-platform them onto scalable, fault-tolerant GCP topologies. • Architect ultra-low-latency, high-concurrency transactional platforms with sub-second, edge-to-cloud performance. • Design zero-downtime cutovers shadow traffic, dual-write sync, automated rollback — and touchless GitOps deployments (ADO + ArgoCD). • Architect resilient microservices/microfrontends with sidecar patterns (Istio) and BFF-driven Web (React.js) and Mobile (Kotlin) platforms. • Lead Kafka/Redis/Valkey streaming & caching architecture and full-stack data observability via Datadog. • Embed AI coding assistants (Cursor, Copilot) into the SDLC and present architecture decisions to C-level stakeholders. TARGET TECHNOLOGY STACK • Cloud, Security & Infra : GCP (primary), AWS & Azure (sources), Security Command Center, IAM, KMS, VPC Service Controls, GKE, Istio, Terraform • Backend & Microservices :Java/J2EE, Spring Boot, Kotlin, Python, Microservices, REST APIs, Sidecar patterns • Web & Mobile : : React.js, Microfrontends, Mobile (Native/Hybrid), BFF patterns • Streaming & Caching: : Apache Kafka, Redis, Valkey • Databases : GCP Cloud SQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Azure Cosmos DB • DevOps & Observability : Azure DevOps, ArgoCD (GitOps), Touchless Deployments, Datadog, JProfiler • Governance & AI : ADR Workshops, DAR Frameworks, EA Methodologies, AI Agents, Copilot/Cursor REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS • 15+ years of progressive engineering leadership and enterprise architecture in complex, high-scale distributed environments. • Deep expertise in multi-cloud migration infrastructure setup and rapid troubleshooting of IAM/network/performance issues during cutovers. • Mastery of GCP security constructs (IAM, KMS, Cloud Armor, VPC Service Controls, Security Command Center) with hands-on remediation experience. • Proven ability to reverse-engineer legacy AWS/Azure architectures into high-availability GCP target designs. • Track record designing mission-critical, real-time, high-concurrency transactional or event-driven systems. • Proven zero-downtime cutover execution — canary testing, dual-write sync, touchless deployments, automated rollback. • Practical mastery of TOGAF / Domain-Driven Design for large-scale platform modernization (TOGAF certification a plus). • Demonstrated microservices, microfrontend, and sidecar pattern expertise. • Proven Web and Mobile architecture experience, including Kotlin exposure and mobile security. • Extensive Kafka streaming and Redis/Valkey caching architecture experience. • Hands-on data observability (data quality, schema drift, lineage) alongside APM tools like Datadog. • Proven leadership of ADR boards and structured DAR evaluations against AWS/Azure. • Direct GCP/multi-cloud migration leadership with zero data loss; GCP Professional Cloud Architect or Security Engineer certification highly desirable. • Hands-on code-level credibility in Java, Spring Boot, React.js, Python, Kotlin, and polyglot databases.
