The IT Architect is responsible for designing, evolving, and governing the software architecture of the Alloga Information System (IS). The role gathers and consolidates requirements from multiple stakeholders (developers, users, clients, etc.) and translates them into a target architecture that is functional, technically sound, scalable, and aligned with business and IT strategy.

The Software Architect works closely with IT Project Managers and Development teams, who rely on the architectural framework to build and deliver solutions. Depending on project scope and organizational impact, the Software Architect may also collaborate with the AB Group architecture teams.

Missions / Key Responsibilities

• Audit and analyze existing architectures and proactively anticipate risks (security, performance, scalability, maintainability, obsolescence).

• Design software architecture at both functional and technical levels according to expressed needs and constraints.

• Ensure alignment and consistency between actual implementation and the recommended architecture model (architecture governance).

• Advise and promote best practices, engineering standards, and adherence to methodologies (e.g., design principles, documentation, validation processes).

• Support Business (MOA) and IT Delivery (MOE) in technology choices and solution trade-offs.

• Conduct technology watch and contribute to a mindset of continuous improvement (tools, frameworks, patterns, cloud practices, DevSecOps).

• Collaborate with technical teams to ensure project delivery and preventive/corrective maintenance of systems.

• Provide technical guidance to development teams throughout the full development lifecycle (design, build, testing, deployment, operations).

.

Key Activities / Deliverables

• Architecture blueprints and documentation (application diagrams, integration flows, target states, roadmaps).

• Non-functional requirements definition (availability, resiliency, performance, security, compliance).

• Architecture reviews, design workshops, and technical decision support (ADRs, guidelines, standards).

• Support for CI/CD, observability, and operational readiness with infrastructure and platform teams.

Required Skills & Experience

• Proven experience as a Software Architect / Solution Architect or senior engineer with architecture ownership.

• Strong command of software design principles (DDD, SOLID, event-driven patterns, API design, microservices where relevant).

• Experience with integration and enterprise systems (REST, messaging, ETL/data flows, IAM/security patterns).

• Ability to communicate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, facilitating decisions and trade-offs.

• Familiarity with DevOps/DevSecOps practices and tooling (CI/CD, automation, monitoring, quality gates).

Key Competencies

• Analytical mindset and risk anticipation

• Structured communication and documentation skills

• Leadership through influence (without direct authority)
