• Experience owning the end-to-end solution architecture which includes defining integration patterns, data flows, and technical design decisions across systems.
• Experience driving the technical delivery on-site (not remotely), translating business requirements into detailed technical designs, sequencing work across integration and data layers, ensuring the solution is built to spec from design to deployment. 
• Deep understanding of AI/ML concepts, including experience with LLMs and their application in enterprise settings.
• Familiarity with various hyperscaler tools and services.
• Hyperscaler Architect certification is required (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or GCP Professional Cloud Architect).
• Experience working closely with the functional and testing teams to understand their requirements gauging the impact to the application architecture.
• Experience leading the configuration and change management teams responsible for application deployments including the coordination of database changes and other necessary application configurations.
