· Provide technical leadership to development, configuration, integration, and data teams, including mentoring, design reviews, code reviews, and architecture assurance.
· Drive non-functional excellence across performance, security, scalability, resilience, availability, and operational readiness.
· Facilitate solution workshops, design discussions, architecture reviews, and stakeholder presentations.
· Present solution options, risks, trade-offs, and recommendations to senior technical and business stakeholders.
· Support pre-sales activity, including RFP responses, estimates, proposals, client presentations, reusable assets, and thought leadership.
