Job Description - Technical Architect (25AAOT11D20241008)

Technical Architect

Hartford, CT | Stamford, CT | USA

We invent the new to help the world move forward. Combining powerful analytics and deeper insights with bigger ideas and innovative solutions, we free up our clients’ potential, thereby fulfilling our own. Take it seriously. Make it fun. Know it matters.

The Technical Architect role is the lead technologist for a product or platform. Third-party products with high out-of-box implementation most likely will have their own technical architecture roles, so company Technical Architects mainly manage internal assets. Technical Architects perform deliverable reviews and manage measurement of deliverable quality within the Delivery Team.

What will your essential responsibilities include?

  1. Specification of technologies, application architectures and data structures as a basis for application change for internal assets.
  2. Producing quality, secure, scalable, high-performing, and resilient designs for new or improved services.
  3. Lead the systems analysts, developers, and testers in sympathetic change to the applications.
  4. For internal assets, support Application Managers to develop and maintain the Product Roadmap.
  5. Define and maintain development standards such as system and data design, coding, etc.
  6. Maintain a capacity plan with historical performance metrics, a future forecast, and a capacity model to ensure services and infrastructure deliver performance and growth targets in a cost-effective and proactive manner.
  7. Manage architecture exceptions for the application, including identifying, documenting, taking through exception approval process, and remediation where and when possible.
  8. Monitor application services to ensure performance consistently meets non-functional requirements (response time, security, etc.).
  9. Work with the Application Manager & Delivery Lead(s) in defining, analyzing, planning, measuring and improving product availability and continuity.
  10. Leads the DevOps team and developers in targeted use of DevOps for their application platform assets.

The Technical Architect reports to the Head of Delivery Factory Delivery.

We’re looking for someone who has these abilities and skills:

  1. A moderate amount of Cloud based insurance applications (Ex. Guidewire, DuckCreek, Policy Decisions, etc.) and DevOps practices including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code and containerization.
  2. Proven experience in designing complex, scalable architectures for large enterprise environments.
  3. Ability to break down complex problems, evaluate multiple solutions & choose the most suitable outcome based on tradeoffs.
  4. Uphold technical integrity of internal assets at the logical and physical level, ensuring designs and changes done based on a strong architectural foundation.
  5. Deep understanding of enterprise integration patterns (API, middleware and/or data migration).
  6. Ability to work closely with cross-functional teams, including developers, product owners, and operations to ensure alignment on technical goals and priorities.
  7. Develop, own and publish the product technical architecture and design documentation.
  8. Identify technical resources required to deliver the service and maintain plans for the short-, mid-, and long-term to support business cases for technical investments (upgrades, etc.).
  9. Translates the high-level designs into the technical specifications to facilitate efficient and effective development and unit testing.
  10. Proficiency with multiple application delivery models including Agile, iterative and waterfall.
  11. Adaptable to new/different strategies, programs, technologies, practices, cultures, etc. Comfortable with change, able to easily make transitions.
  12. Advanced skills in developing tools, frameworks and processes intended to maximize software quality and minimize time-to-delivery.
  13. Bachelor’s degree in the field of computer science, information systems, business management, or a related field preferred.
