Azure Platform Integration
------------------------------
Design solutions using
Azure-native services
including Logic Apps, Azure Functions, Event Grid, Service Bus, API Management, Azure AI Services, and Azure OpenAI.
Ensure automation solutions are cloud-optimised, secure, and align with the organisation's Azure architecture and DevOps standards.
Technical Governance & Design Authority
--------------------------------------------
Serve as a key decision-maker and design authority on IHA solution architecture across projects and workstreams.
Facilitate design reviews, architecture forums, and technical validation processes.
Guide solutioning from concept to implementation, including PoCs, solution blueprints, and technical roadmaps.
Innovation & Emerging Tech Advisory
----------------------------------------
Stay ahead of the curve on advancements in AI, GenAI, intelligent agents, orchestration platforms, and automation tools.
Advise on the applicability and value of new technologies in enhancing automation capabilities and customer/employee experiences.
Stakeholder Collaboration
-----------------------------
Work closely with business analysts, product owners, engineers, data scientists, and security teams to ensure solutions are robust, compliant, and value-aligned.
Translate business requirements and use cases into architecture designs, ensuring technical feasibility and cost-effectiveness.
Key Requirements:
8-12+ years of experience in solution architecture or enterprise technology design roles.
Deep hands-on experience in designing solutions using:

RPA platforms (e.g. Power Automate, UiPath)
Workflow tools, BPM, and integration technologies.
Solid understanding of
GenAI use cases
, architecture integration, model selection (e.g., GPT-4, Codex), and prompt-based systems.
Experience with
event-driven architectures
,
microservices
, and
API-first design
principles.
Familiarity with enterprise-grade security, data privacy, and compliance frameworks (e.g., in banking or financial services).
Ability to present technical concepts to business and executive stakeholders with clarity and impact.
