Senior System Architect

The Sr. System Architect serves as the Technical Design Authority responsible for bridging the gap between Enterprise Architecture strategy and engineering delivery. This role is not just about high-level roadmaps; it is a boots-on-the-ground leadership position that defines the detailed technical blueprints including microservices design cloud-native patterns and API contracts required to modernize mission-critical Rail Transportation systems. You will lead the Strangler migration of legacy IBM Mainframe/TPF environments into a state-of-the-art Java and Spring-based event-driven architecture (EDA) ensuring that architectural integrity is maintained throughout the full engineering lifecycle.

• Conceptual-to-Technical Bridge: Act as the primary translator between EA strategy and engineering. Convert high-level business capabilities into detailed technical specifications for microservices integration patterns and cloud-native architectures.
• Modernization Leadership: Lead the technical design and execution for replacing legacy Rail Transportation systems (Mainframe/TPF) with modern scalable Java and Spring Boot microservices.
• API & Integration Strategy: Design and govern robust API contracts and integration patterns to facilitate seamless real-time communication across heterogeneous multi-domain environments.
• Engineering Oversight: Maintain deep visibility into the full engineering lifecycle. Partner directly with development teams to ensure implementation adheres to architectural standards for reusability scalability and performance.
• Framework Implementation: Ground all application and system designs in industry-standard frameworks including TOGAF BizBok and DAMA (DMBok) ensuring alignment with enterprise data and business standards.
• Agile Governance: Provide technical leadership within a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) environment aligning the Architectural Runway with Program Increment (PI) planning and continuous delivery.

• Experience: 15 years of progressive IT experience with at least 10 years of dedicated technology/system architecture experience.
• Domain Expertise: Required experience defining and implementing technology solutions for rail transportation or large-scale logistics companies.
• Technical Mastery: * Proven track record of migrating IBM Mainframe/TPF workloads to Event-Driven Architectures (EDA).
  • Expert-level knowledge of Java Spring Boot Kafka/Kinesis and Cloud-native patterns (AWS/Azure).
• Frameworks & Certifications: 5 years of active experience practicing within SAFe. Working knowledge of TOGAF BizBok and DMBok.
• Leadership: Demonstrated ability to mentor senior engineers and influence C-level stakeholders through clear technical blueprints.
