for IFEC products and features
- Define and communicate clear goals for the architecture including the
reasons it was chosen, key attributes, risks and how the architecture meets
product and business requirements
- Define reusable reference architectures, application frameworks,
reducing cost, complexity, and overall maintenance of proposed solutions
- Recommend and develop architectural design patterns / frameworks that
align with overall architectural standards and enable development teams.
- Review existing designs and identify opportunities for improvements to
existing systems
- Communicate the software architecture throughout the organization via
presentations and
- architecture documents/diagrams.
- Interface with product teams on review of new features / products and
provide
- guidance on the implications / work scope / feasibility of them
- Collaborate with systems engineering / development (HW/SW) / test /
integration / security / support teams on
refinement/implementation/deployment of the chosen architecture
- Participate in detailed design and code reviews as necessary to ensure
alignment with the chosen architecture and recommended design patterns
- Evaluate upcoming technologies, stay current with industry best
practices, and adapt them into the
- system architecture as needed to enable the product roadmap
- Create prototypes, proof-of-concepts, and demonstrations to evaluate
new
- architecture / technologies on the systems
- Provide technical leadership to software engineers in the areas of
software design and
- implementation
- Lead evaluation of commercial and open-source technologies working
with vendors
- and partners and provide recommendations
