Job SummaryThe Senior Solution Architect plays a key role in defining, reviewing, and governing high-level solution architecture to ensure alignment with the organization's strategic direction, cloud architecture standards (such as Azure, AWS, and GCP), and end-to-end system integration principles—covering both internal systems and external interfaces.This role requires close collaboration with various cross-functional teams, including infrastructure, platform, database, DevOps, security, data, development, network, and other related teams. The goal is to co-design and deliver well-aligned architecture solutions that consider technical constraints and project timelines.The architect is also responsible for ensuring that all solution designs conform to the enterprise architecture roadmap, architectural principles, best practices, and standards defined by both SCB TechX and its customers. Regular architecture reviews must be conducted to validate design quality, identify gaps, and work alongside Enterprise Architects to analyze domain-level challenges and propose continuous improvements.Strong presentation and communication skills are essential for this role, as it involves articulating architectural ideas to stakeholders and delivering clear proposals and design solutions in enterprise architecture meetings and committees.Job ResponsibilitiesArchitecture Development
