- Define and maintain architecture artifacts – solution diagrams, flowcharts, integration designs, deployment models, API specifications, and technical documentation.
- Mentor and coach client-side engineers, providing reviews, guidance, and technical feedback.
- Ensure quality, validation, and long-term supportability of delivered solutions—think about maintainability, extensibility, monitoring, and operation.
- Drive best practices around data privacy, masking, synthetic data generation, entity subsetting, snapshot/rollback, and performance optimization.

- Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) or hybrid cloud environments.
- Experience designing for high performance, scalability, and fault tolerance in data-intensive systems.
- Experience with monitoring, observability, and logging, particularly in data environments.
- Previous experience in test engineering, QA, or data quality initiatives is a plus.
