Key Outcomes
Approved architecture designs that meet business objectives, non-functional requirements (NFRs), and total cost of ownership targets.Integration patterns and data flows that are reliable, observable, secure, and scalable.Artefacts and decisions recorded in recognised architecture repositories and decision registers.Reduced deviations from standards, increased pattern reuse, and faster time-to-approval. Core Responsibilities
Application Architecture
Translate business goals into target application architectures, selecting appropriate paradigms and runway for incremental delivery.Define NFRs and derive testable acceptance criteria.Map bounded contexts, component interfaces, deployment topologies, and operational runbooks for Day-2 operations. 2) Integration Architecture
Define integration strategies and select patterns appropriate to latency, throughput, and reliability needs.Specify API standards, versioning, security, throttling and service-level objectives.Design integration observability, error handling, idempotency, and retry/back-off strategies. 3) Data Architecture
Produce conceptual/logical/physical data models; define lineage, metadata, master/reference data approaches, and data product contracts.Guide data platform choices, ingestion patterns, and quality controls.Ensure data usage complies with privacy regulations, records management, and data retention requirements. 4) Security, Privacy & Risk (by design)
Embed information security policies and privacy regulations into designs.Define security NFRs, run design risk assessments, and plan controls.Document assumptions, risks, and deviations; propose mitigations and escalate through governance forums.
