The purpose of this job
As a Solution Architect you will support solution development by providing, communicating and evolving the broader technology and architectural view of the solution. You will be responsible for a number of Technical Architects who, in our SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) model, operate mainly in the context of the Agile release Train (ART), where they work with Agile Teams and provide technical enablement concerning subsystems and capability areas for an ART.
As Solution Architect you will provide technical leadership for the evolving architectural capabilities of the entire solution in the context of a Solution Train. Your role will involve close collaboration with business stakeholders, teams, customers, suppliers, and third-party stakeholders in defining the technology infrastructure, decomposing solutions, and systems into components and subsystems, and defining and managing their interfaces and APIs. While providing a general view of solution architecture, the Solution Architect enables those who implement value by empowering them to make local decisions, allowing faster flow of work and better economics.
