The Senior Architect in Delivery leads architecture and technical direction for multi-team Azure programs  across applications, platforms, and data. You connect client goals to scalable designs, guide delivery across  teams, and shape modernization work so it delivers measurable results. At this level, you influence architecture beyond a single project. You set direction across engagements,  work with business and technology leaders, raise the bar on delivery quality, and promote reusable patterns.  You mentor architects and senior engineers, support strategic pursuits, and turn working solutions into  repeatable delivery models. Responsibilities: Solution Architecture and Technical Leadership • Lead architecture and technical strategy for Azure modernization and transformation programs that  span multiple teams and workstreams.  • Translate client goals into scalable designs that align with business priorities, non-functional  requirements, delivery constraints, and program-level outcomes.  • Drive architecture across teams so designs follow shared models, standards, and patterns.  • Collaborate with architects and engineers in other domains to integrate solutions and maintain a  cohesive end-to-end architecture.  • Provide ongoing architectural guidance during implementation, including reviews of key designs and  code, and define patterns and guardrails that teams can reuse.  • Apply solid engineering practices in your primary domain—modular design, clear interfaces,  testability, and observability—so solutions remain robust and maintainable.  • Use AI-assisted tooling to accelerate design, code, tests, documentation, and analysis, and help  teams adopt effective practices at program scale. Delivery and Consulting Excellence • Lead or co-lead discovery and roadmap work for programs or large workstreams, turning inputs into  integrated, testable backlogs with clear non-functional requirements and dependencies.  • Use structured problem solving to clarify scope, dependencies, and risks at program scale, and  explain options in terms of value, cost, risk, and time-to-impact.  • Communicate architecture strategy and decisions clearly to technical and non-technical audiences,  including executives.  • Build trusted relationships with product, engineering, and technology leaders, and help shape  modernization roadmaps in the client’s best interest.  • Provide architecture oversight so designs, interfaces, and integration points support predictable  delivery and stable team velocity.  • Align multiple teams on shared outcomes, contracts, and integration points, ensuring dependencies  are identified, owned, and tracked through to delivery.  • Help define delivery approaches, working agreements, and documentation practices that keep  3Cloud and client teams aligned across locations and time zones.  • Support effective use of Agile at scale by ensuring architecture and backlog structure enable  incremental delivery, clear definitions of done, and data-informed adjustments based on telemetry  and feedback.  • Apply a consulting mindset by anticipating client needs, proposing options, and tying solutions to  clear results and adoption, and handle challenge and pushback by explaining trade-offs in simple,  direct language. Mentorship and Team Development: • Mentor architects, senior engineers, and technical leads, building their design skills, architectural  judgment, and ability to work effectively across systems and teams.  • Provide architectural oversight across teams or workstreams, modeling pragmatic decision-making  and showing when to keep solutions simple and when new patterns or technologies are justified.  • Support hiring and growth by participating in technical interviews, calibration discussions, and  mentorship, and by helping shape development plans for future architects. Growth and Innovation: • Contribute to business development by identifying opportunities beyond the current assignment  across all our capabilities and assisting the sales director in pursuing them. • Intentionally builds relationship networks within client accounts to deepen partnership and identify  opportunities to provide additional business value. • Partner with sales and account leaders on strategic pursuits by setting the technical vision,  contributing to solution strategy, and participating in client workshops, demos, and roadmap sessions. • Create solution options, high-level designs, and estimates for programs, clearly documenting  assumptions, dependencies, and risks and tying them back to business value and risk reduction.  • Build and evolve reusable assets—such as reference architectures, runbooks, workshops, starter  repositories, and templates—that become standard paths for delivery teams.  • Champion adoption of modern frameworks, patterns, platform capabilities, automation, and AIassisted tools that improve quality, speed, or reliability in a safe and secure way.  • Actively participate in enablement initiatives, share lessons from complex engagements, and help  build a culture of collaboration, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing. Requirements: • 10+ year
