Solution Architect Software, Hardware, Cloud & Integration

Solution Architect Software, Hardware, Cloud & Integration Navi Mumbai | Full-time | 10+ years | Software, Hardware, Cloud & Systems Integration ROLE SUMMARY Design end-to-end solution architectures spanning software applications, hardware components, networking infrastructure, and cloud services translating business and customer requirements into scalable, secure, and maintainable technical solutions across on-premises, edge, hybrid, and cloud environments. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Design comprehensive solution architectures incorporating software applications, hardware components, networking infrastructure, and cloud services. Translate business and customer requirements into scalable, secure, and maintainable technical solutions. Evaluate trade-offs among on-premises, edge, hybrid, and cloud deployment models. Define system architecture, component interactions, APIs, data flows, and integration strategies. Work with software engineering teams to establish architecture patterns, development standards, and technology roadmaps. Collaborate with hardware teams to ensure compatibility between embedded systems, IoT devices, sensors, gateways, and enterprise applications. Design cloud-native and hybrid-cloud architectures using modern cloud services. Develop architecture documentation including solution diagrams, interface specifications, deployment architectures, and technical design documents. Ensure solutions meet security, scalability, performance, availability, and compliance requirements. Guide infrastructure sizing, capacity planning, disaster recovery, and business continuity strategies. Review technical designs and provide architectural governance throughout the project lifecycle. Stay current with emerging technologies and recommend innovations that improve business outcomes. SCALE & PLATFORM CONTEXT 500K+ active learners and 100K+ daily active users.
