Description

This role will help support development of strategic and solutions architectures that support: Realizing the vision for the enhancing Home and Community Care (HCC) Digital Connectivity initiative Building the roadmap for home care supporting provincial services Modernizing the CHRIS solutions architecture Decomposing existing monolithic architectures into domain-specific services Implementation of robust, highly scalable, resilient platform services Must haves: Proven experience in monolith decomposition and modernization initiatives. Expertise in microservices architecture, API design, and distributed systems. Strong knowledge of cloud platforms such as Azure App Service, API Management, etc.. Responsibilities: Lead architecture strategy for decomposing legacy monolithic systems into modular, scalable microservices. Design and implement enterprise-grade solutions leveraging cloud-native technologies, containerization, and orchestration platforms. Define and enforce architecture standards and best practices across platform services, including authentication, messaging, and observability. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align technical roadmaps with business objectives and ensure seamless integration of services. Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering teams, guiding them through modernization initiatives and complex system designs. Ensure system resilience, security, and performance through robust architectural patterns and governance frameworks. Desired Skills: Experience with API-first strategy, event streaming Certifications or experience in TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework), SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), or cloud architecture Background in platform engineering and scalability planning Required Skills: Proficiency in domain-driven design (DDD), event-driven architecture, and resilience patterns. Familiarity with observability tools, security best practices, and performance optimization. Excellent communication and leadership skills. Requirements Evaluation Criteria: 1 Proven Experience in Monolith Decomposition - 30 Points Hands-on experience breaking down large, legacy monolithic applications into modular components or services. Familiarity with domain-driven design (DDD), and event-driven architecture. Evidence of successful migration projects (e.g., case studies, measurable outcomes like reduced deployment time or improved scalability). 2 Deep expertise in Microservices Architecture - 20 Points Design and implementation of distributed systems using microservices principles. Strong understanding of service boundaries, API design, data consistency strategies (e.g., eventual consistency, CQRS). Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes). Knowledge of observability (logging, tracing, metrics) and resilience patterns (circuit breakers, retries). 3 Platform Services & Cloud-Native Skills - 20 Points Experience building or integrating platform services (authentication, messaging, configuration, monitoring). Proficiency with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and managed services (e.g., API Gateway, Service Mesh, IAM). Understanding of DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines for large-scale deployments. 4. Architectural Governance & Leadership - 30 Points Ability to define architecture standards, reference models, and best practices for enterprise systems. Experience leading cross-functional teams and influencing stakeholders. Strong communication skills for technical roadmaps, architecture reviews, and executive presentations. Familiarity with TOGAF, SAFe, or similar frameworks for enterprise architecture. Deliverables Include, but are not limited to: Definition of strategic decomposition approach and architecture for existing monolith Build vs buy evaluation for decomposed target-state components/capabilities Support market evaluation and procurement for products, where appropriate Definition of solution, application, and integration architecture for modernized services and other associated documentation Must Haves: 10+ years Proven experience in monolith decomposition and modernization initiatives. 10+ years experience in microservices architecture, API design, and distributed systems. 10+ years experience of cloud platforms such as Azure App Service, API Management, etc..
