Senior Platform Architect
- Dunwoody
- Hybrid
Job Summary
The Senior Platform Architect will lead the technical architecture, design, and modernization of large-scale, multi-tenant enterprise SaaS platforms built on Azure and the .NET stack. This role requires mastery of distributed systems, cloud-native design, and advanced engineering practices to deliver highly available, performant, and secure solutions for global consumer-facing SaaS and Agentic AI products.
Responsibilities and Duties
Architectural Design & Transformation
- Lead migration from monolithic systems to modular monolith and microservices architectures using domain-driven design, bounded contexts, and decomposition strategies.
- Design multi-tenant SaaS platforms with advanced tenant isolation, resource partitioning, and elastic scaling using Azure services.
- Define and enforce architectural standards for .NET (C#), TypeScript, Angular, SQL Server, and Azure, including dependency injection, SOLID principles, asynchronous programming, and reactive patterns.
- Design and implement distributed systems: service orchestration, API gateway management, IoT, edge computing, distributed transactions, eventual consistency, CQRS, and event sourcing.
- Architect for cloud-native resiliency: circuit breakers, bulkheads, retries, failover, geo-redundancy, and disaster recovery using Azure App Services, Azure Functions, Service Bus, Cosmos DB, and Azure SQL.
- Develop and maintain architecture documentation, reference models, and decision records using industry frameworks (TOGAF, Zachman, C4 Model).
Performance Engineering & Observability
- Establish and monitor platform SLOs (latency, throughput, error rates, availability) mapped to customer SLAs.
- Architect and implement advanced caching strategies, indexing, and query optimization for SQL Server and NoSQL stores in coordination with Senior Data Architect, Data Engineers, and Database Admins.
- Design and implement telemetry pipelines: distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry), structured logging, metrics collection, and real-time dashboards for system health and diagnostics.
- Conduct performance profiling, load testing, and capacity planning for backend services and frontend applications.
Automation, Quality, and DevOps
- Architect and implement CI/CD pipelines with automated build, test, security scanning, and deployment workflows.
- Integrate static code analysis, code coverage, and quality gates into the development lifecycle.
- Design and enforce automated testing strategies: unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end tests for backend and frontend components.
- Develop infrastructure as code (IaC) solutions for repeatable, scalable cloud provisioning.
- Create incident response playbooks for rollback, failover, and recovery, drive down MTTR and automate remediation where possible.
Security, Compliance, and Governance
- Architect for multi-tenant security: authentication/authorization (OAuth2, OpenID Connect), encryption at rest and in transit, secrets management, and compliance with SOC 1, SOC 2, GDPR, and other regulatory standards.
- Implement secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC) practices, threat modeling, and vulnerability management, including ZDR, DLP, No Model Training policies with AI Models.
- Ensure architectural governance and alignment with enterprise frameworks (TOGAF, Zachman), maintain architecture decision records, and participate in architecture review boards.
Technical Leadership & Collaboration
- Mentor engineering teams in advanced architectural concepts, distributed systems, cloud-native development, and best practices.
- Collaborate with Data Architect, DevOps, IT Services, Engineering and Product Management teams to ensure platform extensibility, integration, and support for complex business requirements.
- Evaluate and integrate AI/ML services, advanced analytics, and developer productivity tools to enhance platform capabilities.
- Champion a culture of technical excellence, continuous improvement, and innovation
Skills & Requirements
Required Experience & Skills
- Minimum 10+ years in software/platform engineering, with at least 8 years in platform architecture for enterprise SaaS on Azure and .NET tech stack.
- Proven experience architecting and delivering large-scale, multi-tenant SaaS platforms for global consumer-facing products.
- Deep expertise in .NET (C#), Azure cloud services (App Services, Functions, Service Bus, Cosmos DB, SQL Server), Azure Open AI, Microsoft Agent Framework, TypeScript, Angular, CI/CD, automated testing, and observability.
- Mastery of distributed systems, cloud-native patterns, event-driven architectures, and microservices.
- Demonstrated success in technical debt reduction, performance engineering, and architectural modernization.
- Experience with architectural frameworks (TOGAF, Zachman, C4 Model), architectural governance, and compliance.
- Strong understanding of platform security, regulatory compliance, and multi-tenant SaaS challenges.
Preferred Skills & Certifications
- TOGAF, Zachman, or similar architecture certification.
- Advanced knowledge of event sourcing, CQRS, service mesh, and cloud-native security.
- Familiarity with semantic technologies, knowledge graphs, and AI/ML integration.
- Hands-on experience with infrastructure as code, automated testing tools, and modern DevOps practices.
- Strong background in platform security, compliance, and multi-tenant SaaS challenges.
