About The Position

Radwell is modernizing its digital, data, AI, and operational platforms to enable faster delivery and measurable business outcomes. The Solution Architect is a hands‑on technical leader responsible for designing and delivering specific, end‑to‑end solution architectures that support Radwell’s business initiatives. Unlike the Enterprise Architect, which defines enterprise‑wide strategy and target‑state architecture, the Solution Architect focuses on concrete solutions—owning the architecture of individual programs, products, or initiatives from design through implementation. This role bridges architecture and engineering by producing clear, executable designs and working closely with engineering teams to ensure successful delivery.

• Partner closely with engineering teams throughout implementation: Participate in design reviews and code reviews, Help resolve complex integration and architecture issues, Ensure alignment between design intent and delivered solutions
• Guide solutions from concept → build → production, ensuring quality and reliability.
• Act as an escalation point for architecture decisions during delivery.
• Design modern, composable integrations using: API‑first and event‑driven patterns, Service‑based and microservices architectures
• Ensure solutions align with Radwell’s enterprise standards and target‑state architecture while remaining pragmatic and delivery‑focused.
• Help modernize legacy and point‑to‑point integrations as part of solution delivery.
• Work closely with: Product owners, Engineering teams, AI Architects and AI Engineers, Data, DevOps, and Security partners
