Responsibilities
Own product‑level architecture for one or more audit applications: context/container diagrams, runtime flows, data models, and integration contracts
Make technology selections within established portfolio standards; document decisions with ADRs and align to governance
Author SDD‑aligned documentation (Current/Target/Transition states, security, availability, compliance) and keep it current in version‑controlled repos
Define and validate NFRs (performance, security, reliability/DR, operability/observability, cost) with measurable acceptance criteria
Guide engineers on implementation details: APIs, events, caching, resiliency, error handling, and observability
Build quick POCs and spikes to de‑risk approaches (retrieval/RAG, agent workflow integrations, storage lifecycle, performance tuning)
Reverse‑engineer .NET services where needed; propose modularization boundaries and refactor plans
Design product‑specific interfaces and integrations with adjacent systems; ensure backwards compatibility and contract testing
Implement enterprise patterns at the product level (API‑first, event‑driven, zero‑trust, IaC) and coach teams on their application
Troubleshoot complex technical issues; drive root‑cause analysis and preventive patterns
Qualification
Required
8+ years in software engineering; 3+ years in product/application architecture for SaaS or distributed systems
Azure (or equivalent) experience: AKS/Kubernetes, Key Vault, Blob/ADLS, networking/ingress, observability; practice of Well‑Architected pillars
.NET/C# fluency with ability to reverse‑engineer and refactor legacy code (ASP.NET Core, API design, performance profiling)
VS Code + GitHub Copilot proficiency for code exploration, test/document generation, and diagram scaffolding; strong prompt discipline
Strong documentation skills: C4/Mermaid/sequence diagrams; ADRs; SDD‑aligned records
POC execution: spikes across storage, indexing/search, agentic flows, and APIs; measure/report latency, cost, robustness
Preferred
AI agent design patterns applied at product level: Planner–Executor or Manager Executor orchestration for product workflows, when to use pipeline vs. swarm patterns
Structured task decomposition, tool routing, and prompt specifications with guardrails for cost/performance
RAG patterns: chunking, citations, provenance, and evidence binding to audit artifacts
Memory/state: short‑term conversation, long‑term vector/graph, thread memory; lineage tracking and immutable evidence stores (WORM)
Evaluation & safety loops: self‑critique/evaluator agents, confidence scoring, HITL gates, policy checks, and audit trails
Agent observability: per‑agent logs/spans/KPIs; trace replay and incident analysis
Kafka/Confluent eventing; schema registry; consumer group patterns
RAG & retrieval design with Azure AI Search; embeddings/vector stores
Security & compliance: threat modeling, secure coding, encryption, key management
CI/CD (Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions) and IaC (Bicep/Terraform); Kubernetes operator patterns
