Solutions Architect

What You’ll Do

• Own the overall architecture for key initiatives, ensuring that future‑state designs are technically viable and fully integrated across existing platforms and ecosystems.
• Translate business strategies and “north star” visions into actionable architectural blueprints, roadmaps, and sequencing of projects.
• Evaluate and select specific enterprise tools (for example, CRD, SAP, Aladdin or similar platforms) and define how they interact, exchange data, and enforce controls end‑to‑end.
• Create conceptual and logical architectures, perform feasibility checks, and proactively identify integration risks before they become production issues.
• Collaborate with engineers, product owners, and business stakeholders to align solution design, delivery timelines, and technical constraints.
• Champion system integrity, performance, and security, ensuring that new solutions fit cleanly into legacy stacks and high‑complexity environments such as financial services.
• Document key decisions, architectural standards, and patterns so teams can build and operate solutions consistently.
• Stay current on platform capabilities and emerging technologies, bringing informed recommendations on how to modernize, simplify, or consolidate systems over time.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong background in specialized architecture, ideally having grown from roles such as business systems analyst into a platform‑focused architect.
• Deep expertise with at least one major enterprise platform (e.g., investment management, Aladdin, CRM, or core financial systems) and a practical understanding of its functional constraints and integration patterns.
• Proven ability to design conceptual architectures for complex, multi‑system environments and to perform rigorous feasibility and impact assessments.
• Experience working in high‑complexity, high‑regulation verticals (such as financial services) and navigating legacy technology stacks without breaking critical operations.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain trade‑offs, risks, and design decisions clearly to both technical teams and non‑technical stakeholders.
• A problem‑solving mindset that focuses on system integrity, maintainability, and long‑term scalability rather than just “getting it to work” today.
• Collaborative working style, comfortable influencing without authority and partnering across engineering, product, operations, and business leadership.
• Curiosity and adaptability, with a desire to continuously deepen your platform knowledge and architectural craft in a fast‑evolving technology landscape.
