Maintains awareness of evolving technology standards and compliance mandates and looks to ensure implications to technology delivery are incorporated where appropriate.
Understands where licensed products, open-source components, custom development, or a combination of all will most effectively solve business needs, and shows fluency in all mediums.
Demonstrates the ability to balance authoritative architectural leadership with collaborative, team-driven decision-making, recognizing when a directive approach is necessary to ensure alignment on critical initiatives and when a more inclusive model will yield the best outcomes through collective insight and ownership.
Collaborate with product team to clarify and refine business needs, ensuring the solution is fit for purpose.
Work with product and engineering peers to fully understand non-functional requirements/quality attributes and creation software designs that apply principles/best practices against them
Collaborate with engineering stakeholders on delivery approaches that balance implementation constraints with ideal design models
Participation in discovery and intake for new initiatives for solution feasibility and implementation guidance / constraints
Develop proof-of-concept solutions and prototypes to validate architectural decisions
Participate in ongoing refinement of patterns and practices for Architecture as part of optimized software development lifecycle (SDLC).
