  • Proven track record in solution architecture, proposal response, and customer presentations for large digital transformation programs.
  • Deep understanding of modern architecture paradigms - microservices, APIs, event-driven systems, cloud-native (AWS/Azure/GCP), containers, and serverless.
  • Strong exposure to application modernization, full-stack development, and DevSecOps.
  • Experience in Gen AI and AI-assisted engineering - e.g., integrating LLMs, intelligent automation, or AI-based developer productivity tools.
  • Excellent communication, storytelling, and stakeholder management skills - able to bridge between business goals and technical implementation.
  • Strategic thinker with a hands-on, problem-solving approach and the ability to operate in complex, fast-paced environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Prior experience in pre-sales or solutioning leadership for digital or application engineering portfolios.
  • Exposure to industry-specific digital transformation initiatives (e.g., healthcare, manufacturing, BFSI, or retail).
  • Certifications in cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) and architecture (TOGAF, SAFe, etc.).
