• Experience: 3+ years as a Solutions Architect or Technical Lead working within Agile frameworks.
• Cloud & Infrastructure: Proven experience with Cloud platforms (AWS & Azure), serverless deployments, and containerization optimization. Experience executing cloud migrations.
• Architecture & APIs: Strong background in REST APIs, API integration, and event-driven architecture. Comfortable using architecture modeling techniques (UML, C4).
• Security Expertise: Deep understanding of application security, access control, Single Sign-On (SSO), OAuth 2.0, threat modeling, and Microsoft Entra ID.
• DevOps & Data: Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipeline build tools, Git version control, Jira/Confluence, SQL databases, and Data Warehouses.
• AI Acumen: A solid understanding of the broader AI ecosystem, including prompt engineering and LLMs.
