TheSr. System Architectserves as theTechnical Design Authorityresponsible 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 legacyIBM Mainframe/TPFenvironments into a state-of-the-artJava and Spring-based event-driven architecture (EDA), ensuring that architectural integrity is maintained throughout the full engineering lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities
- 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 legacyRail Transportation systems (Mainframe/TPF)with modern, scalableJava 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, includingTOGAF, BizBok, and DAMA (DMBok), ensuring alignment with enterprise data and business standards.
- Agile Governance:Provide technical leadership within aScaled Agile Framework (SAFe)environment, aligning the "Architectural Runway" with Program Increment (PI) planning and continuous delivery.
