The Solution Architect will combine strong domain knowledge of S2C applications with an architecture mindset, hands-on performance engineering skills, and the ability to drive SDLC improvements, while representing S2C in cross-functional forums across the wider enterprise. <h1>Key Responsibilities</h1><h2>Architecture Ownership & Governance</h2><h1> </h1>· Own end-to-end solution architecture across all modules within the S2C portfolio. · Act as the single point of authority for architecture governance — evaluating design approaches and taking final decisions on complex or contested design questions. · Define and maintain capability modeling for the S2C domain, mapping how S2C fits into GEP's broader enterprise architecture so future solutions have a clear place to be designed against. <h2>Cross-Functional Engineering Partnership</h2><h1> </h1>· Represent S2C in cross-functional architecture and engineering forums (e.g., dependencies with P2P, enterprise-wide initiatives such as “Godzilla”), and be empowered to make decisions on S2C's behalf. · Partner with the Enterprise Architecture organization to align S2C's architecture direction with the company's overall architecture vision. <h2>Performance, Scalability & Non-Functional Engineering</h2><h1> </h1>· Identify and design scalable, performance-oriented solutions to address customer-facing performance, scalability, and throughput challenges. · Bring seasoned expertise in non-functional engineering areas, including performance, scalability, security, and observability. · Partner with the S2C engineering team to propose and implement solutions to production-level performance and scale issues. <h2>Technical Debt & Modernization</h2><h1> </h1>· Proactively identify technical debt across S2C applications and own the roadmap to address it. · Bring prior experience modernizing legacy or aging systems, ideally within a B2B, enterprise-scale environment. <h2>SDLC & Engineering Excellence</h2><h1> </h1>· Assess the current software development lifecycle and identify opportunities for improvement in DevOps, CI/CD, and related engineering practices. · Introduce new ways of working that improve delivery speed and quality, in the spirit of ongoing initiatives. <h1>Qualifications & Experience</h1><h1> </h1>· Architecture & Engineering: 12+ years of significant experience in software architecture and engineering, with a track record of owning architecture for complex, enterprise-scale applications. · Architecture Design Patterns: Strong expertise in applying architecture design patterns to build scalable, resilient, and maintainable systems. · Cloud & DevOps Platform: Deep hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure cloud services and Microsoft Azure DevOps for managing the lifecycle of enterprise applications. · Microservices & Backend Development: Proven experience in developing microservices using C#, Python, and Node.js. · API Design: Comprehensive background in REST API design, development, and management. · Production Operations: Proven track record addressing performance, scalability, security, and observability challenges in production environments. · System Modernization: Experience driving tech debt modernization initiatives in complex, at-scale systems. · Domain Knowledge: Experience in source-to-contract, procurement, or comparable B2B enterprise SaaS domains is a plus, but not mandatory — the ability to learn and scale into the domain matters more than prior S2C-specific exposure. · Stakeholder Management: Strong stakeholder management skills; comfortable representing a domain in cross-functional forums and influencing decisions without direct authority. · SDLC & Process Improvement: Working knowledge of SDLC best practices, DevOps, and CI/CD, with a history of driving process improvements. </div>
