Solution & APP Architect

Overview

Solution & APP Architect Jobs in Doha, Qatar at Starlink Qatar

We are seeking a Solution & App Architect to design and govern application architectures for platform capabilities and vendor-delivered solutions. The role ensures cloud-agnostic, secure-by-design, scalable applications aligned with platform standards (identity, APIs, observability, CI/CD, service catalog patterns).

Working closely with product owners, system integrators, and platform/security teams
, the architect defines application blueprints, runtime patterns (microservices, event‑driven, mobile/web), integration contracts, and non‑functional requirements. The role provides architecture assurance across delivery phases and ensures operational readiness, maintainability, and consistent developer experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Define target‑state application architecture for platform capabilities and onboarded smart solutions (web, mobile, backend services).
• Establish cloud‑agnostic app patterns
  : microservices, modular monolith, event‑driven workflows, and API‑first design.
• Specify application NFRs (availability, scalability, performance, resiliency, observability, localization) and acceptance criteria.
• Define identity and authorization patterns (Entra/OIDC, RBAC, token scopes, service‑to‑service auth).
• Ensure consistent API and event design (OpenAPI/Async

  API, versioning, idempotency, rate limits, backward compatibility).

• Drive secure application architecture (OWASP, secure storage, secrets handling, encryption, input validation, threat modeling).
• Define data access patterns and caching strategies
  , aligned with platform data governance and multi‑tenant boundaries.
• Provide architecture assurance through design reviews, ADRs, and implementation checkpoints with vendors.
• Define deployment and release patterns (blue/green, canary, feature flags) aligned with Git Ops and CI/CD.
• Support operational readiness
  : logging/metrics/tracing, runbooks, SLOs, incident readiness, and handover to operations.

Skills & Abilities

• Strong application architecture skills across frontend/mobile, backend services, and distributed systems.
• Expertise in API design, integration patterns, and event‑driven architectures
  .
• Ability to translate business workflows into robust application services and user journeys
  .
• Proven security‑by‑design and performance/resiliency engineering capability.
• Strong documentation and decision‑making discipline (ADRs, diagrams, reference implementations).

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity
  ;
  Master’s degree highly preferred.
• 7+ years in solution/application architecture or senior engineering roles delivering enterprise platforms.
• Experience with Kubernetes‑based deployments and cloud‑native patterns
  , with emphasis on portability/cloud‑agnostic choices.
• Hands‑on background with modern web/mobile architectures and scalable backend frameworks
  .
• Experience integrating with IAM, API gateways, observability stacks, and CI/CD tooling in regulated environments.
• Familiarity with architecture frameworks and quality practices (TOGAF concepts, DDD, clean architecture, 12‑factor apps).

Preferred Tools

• Observability & Security: Open Telemetry, Dynatrace/Datadog, SAST/DAST tooling, OWASP dependency scanning

Soft Skills

• Strong facilitation for design workshops and cross‑vendor alignment
• Clear communication with product and engineering stakeholders
• Pragmatic prioritization and decision‑making under delivery constraints
• Ownership and accountability for architecture quality and outcomes
• Mentoring mindset and ability to uplift vendor and internal engineering teams
