The Architect in Delivery is a hands-on technical lead for cloud solutions. You design and deliver secure,
scalable, and maintainable systems on Azure that solve real business problems. You own end-to-end
architecture for your projects, stay close to implementation where it matters, and work with teams to meet
goals for value, security, performance, reliability, and cost.

At this level, you lead solution design in your primary domain, guide engineers day to day, and mentor other
architects and technical leads. You turn business needs into clear technical plans, help teams make good
tradeoffs, and keep delivery predictable and high quality.

Responsibilities

Solution Architecture and Technical Leadership

• Own end-to-end architecture and scope for your projects, leading teams to design and deliver Azure
solutions that meet agreed goals for value, security, scalability, reliability, performance, and cost.

• Serve as the technical lead and subject matter expert on your engagements, guiding consultants and
engineers so implementation stays aligned with the architecture and standards.

• Apply sound engineering practices—clear interfaces, modular design, and testability—to produce
reliable, maintainable solutions in your primary domain.

• Provide architectural guidance throughout implementation, including design and pull-request reviews,
shaping cloud patterns and guardrails and offering practical options to unblock teams.

• Use AI tools to accelerate code, tests, documentation, and similar tasks, and share effective practices
so they become repeatable gains for teams and clients.

• Design advanced semantic models using star schemas, DAX, and Power Query.

• Advise clients on Power BI architecture, governance, and deployment strategies.
Delivery and Consulting Excellence

• Lead discovery and requirements sessions for your work streams, clarifying scope, dependencies,
and risks, and shaping a prioritized backlog with clear acceptance criteria tied to business outcomes.

• Explain complex technical topics in simple, direct language for both technical and non-technical
audiences, and consistently connect technical decisions back to client goals.

• Build trust with managers and product owners, influencing priorities and roadmaps in ways that
support the client’s long-term interests.

• Enable teams to deliver with stable velocity and low defect rates by providing clear architecture,
interfaces, and automation across build, test, and deployment, and by designing for incremental
delivery with a clear Definition of Done.

• Align multiple teams on shared outcomes, contracts, and integration points, ensuring dependencies
are identified early, owned, and tracked through delivery.

• Support effective Agile practices by ensuring the architecture and backlog structure enable
incremental delivery, a clear Definition of Done, and data-informed course corrections based on
telemetry and feedback.

Mentorship and Team Development

• Mentor others through pairing, design reviews, and clear feedback that strengthens design skills,
technical judgment, and confidence, with a particular focus on senior engineers and technical leads.

• Provide architectural oversight across teams or work streams, modeling pragmatic decision-making
and teaching others when to keep designs simple and when to introduce new patterns or
technologies.

• Support hiring…
