Architect Ii

Role Proficiency:Design and implement Infrastructure/Cloud Architecture for a mid to large size projectsOutcomes:- Design and Develop the architecture; the technical owner for projects- Provide technical expertise across the practice- Managing a significant stream of work independently; where required lead small technical team.- Own / Resolve architectural issues spanning across multiple technologies- Responsible for architectural frameworks; recommending tools relevant to the projectMeasures of Outcomes:- # of reusable components / processes developed # of times components / processes reused- Contribution to technology capability development (e.g. Training Webinars Blogs)- Customer feedback on overall technical quality (zero technology related escalations)- Relevant Technology certifications- Business Development (# of proposals contributed to # Won)- # white papers/document assets published / working prototypesOutputs Expected:Solution Definition & Design:- Define Architecture for mid to large size projects- Design the technical framework and implement the same- Present the detailed design documents to relevant stakeholders and seek feedback- Undertake project specific Proof of Concepts activities to validate technical feasibility with guidance from the Senior Architect- Implement best optimized solution and resolve any performance issuesRequirement gathering and Analysis:- Understand the functional and non-functional requirements- Collect non-functional requirements through discussions with SME and business users- Identify technical aspects as part of story definitionespecially at an architecture / component levelProject Management Support:- Share technical input to Project Managers/ SCRUM Master- Help SCRUM Masters / Project Managers understand the technical risks and come-up with mitigation strategies- Help Associates and Leads overcome technical challengesTechnology Consulting:- Analysis of technology landscapeprocesstools based on project objectives- Work on Due DiligenceAssessment projectsBusiness and Technical Research:- Analyse and assess tools (internal/external) within specific parameters- Prepare recommendations based on findings of Proof of Concept- Analyse and identify new tools etc (e.g. methodologiesframeworksacceleratorsetc.)- Develop outcome-based solutionsmarket entry strategies/ based on analysis of technology and industry trends assessment.- Participate in customer visitsProject Estimation:- Provide support for project estimations for business proposals and support sprint level / component level estimates- Articulate estimation methodologymodule level estimations for more standard projects with focus on effort estimation aloneProposal Development:- Contribute to proposal development from technology/architecture perspective- Participate in client engagements (pursuitsprojectsdiscussions); own the solution from a technical point of view. Assist in running client workshopsKnowledge Management & Capability Development:- Conduct technical trainings/ Webinars to impart knowledge to CIS / project teams- Create collaterals (e.g. case studybusiness value documentssummaryetc.)- Gain industry standard certifications on technology and architecture consulting- Contribute to knowledge repository and tools- Creating reference architecture modelreusable components from the project- Contribute to thought leadership through UST journalsProcess Improvements / Delivery Excellence:- Identify avenues to improve project delivery parameters (e.g. productivityefficiencyprocesssecurityetc.) by leveraging toolsautomationetc.- Understand various technical tools used in the project (third party as well as home-grown) to improve efficiency and productivityAlliance Management:- Identify alliance partners based on the understanding of service offerings and client requirementsspecific to program- In collaboration with senior architects create a compelling business case around the offerings- Conduct beta testing of the offerings with relevance to programSkill Examples:- Use Industry Knowledge to understand business requirements create POC to meet business requirements under guidance- Use technical knowledge to analyse technology based on client's specific requirement analyse and understand existing implementations work on technology implementations (POC) guide the developers and enable them in the implementation- Use knowledge of Architecture Concepts and Principles to provide input to the senior architects towards building component solutions. Deploy the solution as per the architecture under guidance- Use Tools and Principles to create low level design for the given business requirements- Use Estimation and Resource Planning knowledge to help estimate and plan resources for specific mid-sized projects with detailed requirements in place- Use Knowledge Management Tools & Techniques to participate in the kno
