You will act as the senior technical authority between business stakeholders, customer architects, and delivery teams, translating strategic goals into robust, scalable, and standards-aligned designs across OSS/BSS, cloud, and network domains.

Responsibilities

• Lead architecture definition for large-scale digital transformation programs, from discovery and solution design through to delivery handover.
• Engage with customer CxOs, enterprise architects, and technical leads to understand business objectives, constraints, and target operating models.
• Design end-to-end solutions across order management, service and resource inventory, orchestration, assurance, billing, and customer engagement.
• Support pre-sales activities, including RFP/RFI responses, solution workshops, demos, proofs of concept, and effort and cost estimation.
• Define integration architectures using APIs, event-driven patterns, and TM Forum Open APIs; ensure alignment with TM Forum Frameworx (eTOM, SID, TAM) and ODA.
• Produce and maintain architecture artifacts, including HLD/LLD, reference architectures, roadmaps, and decision records.
• Provide technical governance during delivery, reviewing designs, resolving architectural risks, and ensuring non-functional requirements (performance, security, resilience, scalability) are met.
• Guide migration from legacy monolithic systems to cloud-native, microservices-based architectures.
• Collaborate with product, engineering, and professional services teams to feed customer insights into the product roadmap.
• Mentor solution architects, consultants, and engineers, and contribute to internal knowledge sharing and best practices.

• 10+ years of experience in software or systems architecture, including 5+ years in an enterprise or solution architect role.
• Strong background in telecom OSS/BSS, or large-scale enterprise platforms in a regulated, high-availability environment.
• Proven experience across the full SDLC, from requirements and design through build, test, deployment, and support, on large, multi-team programs.
• Hands-on knowledge of cloud-native architecture: microservices, containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code.
• Experience with public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and hybrid or multi-cloud deployments.
• Solid understanding of integration patterns: REST/GraphQL APIs, messaging and streaming (Kafka or similar), and event-driven design.
• Working knowledge of TM Forum standards (Open APIs, eTOM, SID, ODA).
• Proven ability to run technical workshops and present complex concepts to both technical and executive audiences.
