Solution Architect

Responsibilities:

• Own the end-to-end target architecture for TC11 Oracle RAC enablement.
• Define RAC topology, service models, scaling strategies, and non-functional requirements.
• Ensure architectural alignment with technology standards, security, risk, and compliance requirements.
• Drive architecture governance through Architecture Review Boards (ARBs).
• Lead application RAC readiness assessments for TC11 workloads.
• Guide application teams on service-based connectivity, workload routing, connection pooling, FAN, failover handling, session management, and low-latency transaction design.
• Ensure applications leverage RAC capabilities effectively for high-frequency trading (HFT) environments.
• Define and govern phased execution approach including architecture readiness, RAC foundation, production enablement, and optimization phases.
• Maintain scope discipline and act as a technical escalation point for complex design and integration issues.
• Define performance and resilience success metrics including latency, throughput, availability, and recovery.
• Oversee performance testing, tuning strategies, and optimization for RAC under HFT workloads.
• Recommend and implement advanced optimizations such as Oracle In-Memory where applicable.
• Ensure operational readiness including monitoring, observability, runbooks, and support models.
• Oversee knowledge transfer and production readiness sign-off.
• Support post go-live stabilization and hypercare activities.

Key Deliverables:

• Target architecture and solution design documentation.
• RAC service design and workload architecture artifacts.
• Application RAC readiness strategy and implementation guidance.
• Phased delivery roadmap and execution plan.
• Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
• Risk, dependency, and assumption registers.
• Production readiness and go-live sign-off documentation.

Required Skills And Experience:

• Strong expertise in Oracle RAC architecture, design, and implementation.
• Experience with high-frequency trading (HFT) or low-latency transaction systems.
• Deep understanding of database performance tuning, scalability, and high availability.
• Experience with application integration in RAC environments including connection pooling and failover mechanisms.
• Strong knowledge of infrastructure, security, and compliance frameworks.
• Proven experience leading architecture governance and large-scale enterprise programs.
• Ability to manage complex technical dependencies and cross-functional teams.
