Insomniac Design - Solution Architect
Requirements
• Discovery & design: Lead technical discovery, clarify requirements, map current→target state, and produce lean but complete architecture docs (diagrams, ADRs, integration contracts). • Hands-on solutioning: Define service boundaries, APIs, data models, and cloud infrastructure (IaC). Review code/PRs when it matters. • Delivery guidance: Set non-functional/quality attributes (security, performance, reliability, cost). Unblock teams, run technical spikes, and own the “how” on critical paths. • Client communication: Run workshops, present trade-offs, and translate tech to business outcomes. Be the trusted technical voice in the room. • Governance: Keep solutions aligned to standards, security, and budget; raise risks early with options. • Pre-sales support: Shape solution approaches and estimates; contribute to RFP/RFI/RFQ responses and client presentations. • 6–10+ years in software engineering/architecture, including 2–4+ years as a Solution/Systems Architect or Tech Lead. • Technical breadth: Comfortable across modern web stacks (e.g. having experience with at least one of: Java/Node/Python/.NET + SPA frameworks), APIs, integrations, and data modeling. • Cloud fluency: Comfortable delivering architectures across (e.g. having Architect experience with at least one of: AWS/Azure/GCP while being able to navigate others); comfort with IaC, CI/CD, observability, and cost/perf trade-offs. • Architecture methodologies/styles: Monoliths (Modular/Distributed), Service-based & microservices, caching, authN/Z, and secure design principles. • Data basics: Practical relational and NoSQL modeling, ETL/ELT patterns, and how analytics fits (warehouses/lakes). • Communication: Clear writing, crisp audience-focused diagrams, confident client facilitation. • Pre-sales track record (RFP/RFI/RFQ writing, scoping, estimation, SOW inputs). • Experience with DevSecOps practices, cost optimization, and performance tuning. • Exposure to AI/ML or search/RAG integrations; data governance/quality. • Leading small squads and mentoring engineers/other architects.
