Job Summary
Principal Architect role for an MNC requiring thirteen to fifteen years of experience in designing and governing large scale enterprise applications using Redis SQL and C sharp TAAS . The role is hybrid with day shift and no travel focusing on high reliability platforms that support critical business operations and deliver long term value to customers and society.
Responsibilities
Domain Experience- Availability
- Design scalable cloud ready architectures that integrate Redis caching SQL data stores and C sharp services to deliver resilient and performant enterprise applications
- Define target state application and data architectures that align with company technology strategy and enable sustainable growth across multiple business domains
- Create detailed reference architectures and patterns for Redis usage including data eviction strategies and replication models that improve throughput and response times
- Shape database designs using SQL with a strong focus on normalization indexing strategy and query optimization to achieve consistent low latency data access
- Guide C sharp solution design by defining modular service boundaries interface contracts and error handling strategies that improve system maintainability and quality
- Review critical design documents and code implementations to ensure architectural decisions are followed and potential risks are identified early in the delivery cycle
- Collaborate with product engineering and operations teams to translate business requirements into clear technical roadmaps that are realistic measurable and outcome driven
- Establish non functional requirements for performance security availability and scalability and ensure they are validated through rigorous testing and monitoring practices
