Platform Architect

Overview

Lead the architectural design of Vialto's unified enterprise product platform supporting multiple B2B and B2C product lines, guiding migration and modernization, and advising product engineering teams.

What you'll do

• Lead the architectural design of Vialto's unified enterprise product platform supporting multiple product lines (B2B and B2C).
• Define platform capabilities, service boundaries, and technical patterns and principles.
• Develop frameworks and reusable components to accelerate product development across teams.
• Establish architectural standards for microservices, API design, event-driven communication, workflow orchestration, and data integration.
• Assess existing tools, systems, and products to define a migration roadmap into the enterprise platform.
• Identify opportunities to modernize legacy components, consolidate redundant functionality, and align services to the new platform vision.
• Partner with engineering teams to guide phased migration, ensuring minimal disruption and technical consistency.
• Architect scalable, secure, cloud-native solutions in Microsoft Azure using services such as Azure API Management, App Services / Functions, Event Grid / Service Bus, Azure SQL MI / Cosmos DB, AKS (preferred), and Azure DevOps / GitHub.
• Drive adoption of best practices in microservices, distributed systems, observability, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Establish standards for performance, resiliency, multi-tenancy, and security posture.
• Partner with teams to define platform-level capabilities using Azure OpenAI, Agentic AI with Microsoft Agent Framework, and Model Context Protocol (MCP).
• Enable AI-augmented capabilities for product teams to build client-facing and operational tools.
• Collaborate on the architecture of user experience layers built in Next.js and React.
• Enable intelligent services and automation to enhance global mobility operations and client outcomes.
• Apply event-based system patterns (pub/sub, workflow orchestration, event sourcing where appropriate), distributed systems patterns (partitioning, resiliency, failure-mode design, consistency tradeoffs), and domain-driven integration approaches (bounded contexts, contracts, anti-corruption layers).
• Apply agentic AI patterns including plan/execute/verify loops, tool/function calling, RAG, verifier/critic steps, guardrails, evaluation, and agent observability/auditability.
• Automate business process flows using Azure OpenAI APIs and orchestration frameworks.
• Act as a trusted architectural advisor to product engineering teams and business stakeholders.
• Advocate for platform thinking, technical quality, and long-term sustainability.
• Conduct architectural reviews, provide guidance, and mentor engineers across teams.
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable guidance for technical and non-technical audiences.

What you'll need

• 10+ years of experience designing and delivering cloud-based enterprise systems.
• Strong expertise in Microsoft Azure, microservices architecture, distributed systems, and DevOps practices.
• Proficiency with C# / .NET Core, API development, and cloud-native patterns.
• Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Next.js, and front-end platform integration concepts.
• Demonstrated experience designing platform architectures that support multiple products.
• Familiarity with Azure OpenAI, conversational agents, or generative AI integration.
• Strong grounding in integration patterns and system interoperability.
• Excellent communication, influencing, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Bachelor's degree required.

Nice to have

• Prior work in B2B and B2C product ecosystems or professional services platforms.
• Knowledge of data privacy, compliance, and regulatory constraints for global services.
• Background in enterprise transformation or modernization programs.
• Advanced degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or related field.
• AKS experience.

Details

• Based in the Bangalore office, with the possibility of a hybrid work mode.
