• Define and drive product and platform architecture for Tax services, with a focus on event driven and workflow orchestrated designs (Temporal) and streaming (Confluent Kafka). Lead decisions on patterns, integration contracts, data models, resiliency, and observability.
• Review and guide .NET application code and solution designs (.NET 6/8, ASP.NET Core), elevating code quality, testability, security posture, and performance. Partner with teams on upgrade roadmaps and dependency hygiene.
• Own high risk technical spikes and POCs; rapidly validate approaches using VS Code and GitHub Copilot to accelerate engineering feedback loops.
• Provide clear decision records (ADRs) and architectural documentation, and lead design reviews per Architecture CoE policies, champion reuse where practical.

Modernization & Platform Adoption

• Collaborate with Platform Engineering to onboard domains to Confluent Cloud; set partitioning, schema strategy, consumer group patterns, and SLAs. Guide performance testing and tuning practices.

Security, Risk & Governance

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or equivalent work experience.
• 10+ years in software engineering with 5+ years in architecture for SaaS products; prior lead/principal scope in complex distributed systems. (Leveling guidance aligned to lead architect baseline.)
• Strong hands-on depth with .NET (C#, ASP.NET Core, API design), code review, refactoring, and performance profiling.
• Proven delivery of modernization programs (monolith to modular/microservices, event driven patterns, API first, cloud native).
• Practical experience with Kafka (Confluent preferred): topics, partitions, consumer groups, schema registry, connectors, and end to end performance testing/tuning.
• Practical experience with Temporal (or equivalent workflow engines) for long running orchestrations and reliability patterns.
• Fluency with VS Code and GitHub Copilot to accelerate POCs, scaffolding, and code reviews.
• Expertise in architecture qualities/NFRs (availability, scalability, security, resilience, cost) and observability.
• Excellent written & verbal communication-able to dive deep with engineers and rise above for leadership alignment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in Tax or adjacent accounting domains; familiarity with compliance, data lineage, and auditability concerns reflected in TAA programs.
• Hands on with cloud services (Azure/AWS), container platforms, CI/CD, IaC, secrets/identity, and API gateways.
