Lead Enterprise Architect / Technology Consultant
ARISTON SERVICES PTE. LTD.
Role Level: Senior Consultant / Principal Consultant
Experience: 10+ Years
Domain: Communications, Media & Technology (CMT) / Telecommunications
About the Role
We are looking for a hands-on, client-facing Lead Enterprise Architect / Technology Lead to spearhead technology strategy and architecture governance across major digital transformation programs in the Communications, Media & Technology (CMT) sector.
In this role, you will act as a senior technical authority and trusted advisor to client CTOs, Chief Architects, and delivery teams. You will bridge high-level enterprise blueprints with low-level engineering execution—governing end-to-end architectures across Telecom OSS/BSS landscapes, cloud-native platforms, integration middleware, DevSecOps, and SRE disciplines.
What You Will Do
1. Architecture Strategy, Governance & Design
Define target-state enterprise architectures, application blueprints, and technical roadmaps tailored for large-scale telco and media modernization programs.
Drive hands-on technical architecture reviews, author and inspect component sequence diagrams, define API/data exchange contracts, and oversee end-to-end system integration.
Steer architecture governance frameworks, ensuring solution customizations remain scalable, modular, and aligned with client business outcomes.
Lead technical discovery workshops and architecture review boards (ARBs) to de-risk delivery before implementation.
2. Client Advisory & Technical Engagement
Establish trusted-advisor relationships across client CTO organizations, enterprise architecture offices, and lead engineers.
Translate complex business problems into actionable, resilient technology designs and modernization roadmaps.
Partner with business development and consulting teams to shape solution architecture, write technical proposals, and lead technical presentations for transformation bids.
Collaborate seamlessly with cross-functional, distributed global engineering and delivery squads.
3. Platform Engineering, Resilience & Governance
Lead in-depth architectural dialogues and governance with client engineering leaders across:
Platform & Application Engineering: Cloud-native microservices design, container platforms, and modular integration patterns.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE): System availability, failover models, performance tuning, and operational observability.
DevSecOps & Release Automation: CI/CD pipeline strategy, automated testing/release management, and zero-downtime cutover patterns.
Security & Compliance: Secure-by-design principles, identity/access management, API security, and enterprise data protection standards.
What We Are Looking For
10+ years of progressive experience in technology consulting, enterprise architecture, or hands-on technology leadership.
Deep Telecom / CMT Domain Expertise: Strong grasp of the telecommunications ecosystem, with deep familiarity in OSS/BSS environments (e.g., billing, rating, charging, product catalog, customer care, order orchestration, and provisioning).
Hands-on Architectural Rigor: Proven ability to produce and critique low-level architecture deliverables, including system sequence diagrams, integration interfaces (REST/event-driven/APIs), data schemas, and deployment topologies.
Cloud-Native & Modern Tech Stack: Solid grounding in microservices architectures, cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), event streaming (e.g., Kafka), and API gateway integrations.
Platform Operations: Solid understanding of SRE principles, DevSecOps practices, release governance, and security controls.
Consulting Delivery Acumen: Outstanding communication and presentation capabilities; comfortable advising executive stakeholders while rolling up your sleeves with delivery engineers.
Education & Certifications: Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field. Industry certifications (e.g., TOGAF, AWS/Azure Solutions Architect) are strongly advantageous.
