Software Architect – Lead, Innovate, and Drive Excellence
As a Software Architect, you will have full autonomy to shape technical direction, ensuring alignment with business needs and scalability. You'll define and refine product structures, translate customer needs into technical solutions, and lead architectural decisions across multiple product lines.
Collaborating with engineers, architects, and product teams, you’ll drive innovation, research emerging technologies, and enhance development processes. Your deep technical expertise and understanding of customer contexts will ensure impactful, forward-thinking solutions.
If you're passionate about solving complex challenges and leading technical excellence, this role is for you.
About the Project :
The Client is one of the largest financial institutions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.
Established in 1957, the Bank aims to be the most innovative and trusted financial solutions partner for its clients. The Bank provides a comprehensive range of products and services fully compliant with the Islamic Sharia’ to meet the needs of both retail and corporate customers, including small and medium-size enterprises. As well, it plays a leading role in various areas of finance and investment around Saudi Arabia, that is why we are distinguished as a leading financier and arranger of syndicated loans in the oil, petrochemicals, and most of the Kingdom’s notable infrastructure projects.
Responsibilities:
1. Collaborative Design and Technical Leadership:
Work closely with Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and development teams to guide architectural decisions.

Promote evolutionary architecture—one that grows iteratively with the system.
2. Define and Communicate Architecture Vision:
Create and maintain an architectural vision that aligns with business goals and Agile values.
Ensure that architecture supports non-functional requirements (NFRs) such as scalability, security, and performance.
Clearly articulate trade-offs and technical direction to stakeholders and teams.
3. Enable Decentralized Decision-Making:
Empower development teams by setting guardrails and guidelines, rather than controlling every decision.
Encourage self-organization and local design autonomy within a larger architectural context.
Foster Technical Excellence
Drive best practices in code quality, design patterns, refactoring, and testing.
Promote technical excellence through mentoring, code reviews, and pair programming when appropriate.
4. Support Agile Planning Events:
Participate in key Agile ceremonies such as:
Backlog Refinement –to ensure architectural concerns are considered early.
Sprint Planning –to guide technical feasibility.
PI Planning (in SAFe) –to align architecture with program-level goals.
System Demos and I&A –to ensure the architecture supports integrated solutions.
5. Manage Technical Risk and Debt:
Identify and address technical risks and architectural debt proactively.
Continuously evaluate the architecture’s effectiveness in light of changing requirements.
6. Support DevOps and Continuous Delivery:
Guide teams in integrating CI/CD practices, automated testing, and release pipelines.
Help design systems that are deployable, monitorable, and recoverable.
Align with Enterprise Architecture (if applicable)
In larger organizations or frameworks like SAFe, Agile Architects (System, Solution, Enterprise) align team-level architecture with enterprise-wide standards.
