Modern Web Application Solution Architect
ROLE OVERVIEW
We are seeking an experienced Modern Web Application Solution Architect to join an Application Architecture & Reliability (AAR) team at Oncor. This role will provide architecture leadership for the design, modernization, and delivery of enterprise web applications. The architect will work across application development, security, infrastructure, DevSecOps, integration, and enterprise architecture teams to define solutions that are secure, scalable, resilient, maintainable, and aligned with enterprise standards. The ideal candidate has strong architecture experience across modern front-end and server-side technologies, particularly React/Next.js, Angular, Node.js, JavaScript/TypeScript, APIs, and containerized application platforms. Experience designing applications for Red Hat OpenShift is strongly preferred. Electric utility industry experience is beneficial but not required. Solution & Application Architecture
- Define end-to-end solution architecture for modern enterprise web applications.
- Translate business, functional, and non-functional requirements into practical application architectures and technical designs.
- Define application boundaries, components, services, APIs, integrations, data flows, and runtime/deployment architectures.
- Select appropriate architectural patterns based on application requirements, enterprise standards, and delivery constraints.
- Develop architecture artifacts including solution diagrams, component models, deployment views, integration designs, sequence diagrams, and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
- Evaluate architectural alternatives and clearly communicate technical decisions, trade-offs, risks, and dependencies.
Modern Web Architecture
- Provide architecture direction for applications using React, Nest.js, Next.js, Angular, Node.js, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
- Define patterns for client-side rendering, server-side rendering, static generation, backend-for-frontend (BFF), and other modern web approaches where appropriate.
- Guide modular application design and appropriate use of component-based architectures, micro-frontends, microservices, and modular monolith patterns.
- Establish patterns for state management, session management, caching, content delivery, and web performance optimization.
- Guide teams on maintainability, reuse, dependency management, framework lifecycle, and technology currency.
API & Integration Architecture
- Define API architecture and integration patterns using REST, GraphQL, asynchronous messaging, and event-driven approaches as appropriate.
- Establish patterns for API versioning, error handling, security, observability, resiliency, and lifecycle management.
- Guide integration with enterprise services, systems of record, identity platforms, data services, and external systems.
- Ensure application designs appropriately address latency, failure handling, retry behavior, timeouts, circuit breaking, and other distributed-system concerns.
Cloud-Native, Security & Reliability
- Design applications for containerized and cloud-native runtime environments, including Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift.
- Guide containerization, configuration, secrets, resource management, health checks, autoscaling, ingress/routing, and deployment considerations.
- Incorporate security throughout application architecture, including authentication, authorization, identity integration, encryption, API security, secrets management, and secure development practices.
- Define non-functional requirements for availability, scalability, performance, resiliency, recoverability, and maintainability.
- Design applications with appropriate fault tolerance, graceful degradation, failure isolation, and recovery patterns.
Observability & Architecture Leadership
- Define application observability requirements covering logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, monitoring, and alerting.
- Participate in production-readiness and architecture reviews for critical applications.
- Lead architecture and technical design reviews throughout the software delivery lifecycle.
- Collaborate with enterprise architects, application teams, security, DevSecOps, infrastructure, data, and integration organizations.
- Identify reusable architecture patterns and opportunities to standardize common application capabilities.
- Support application modernization assessments, target-state architectures, transition roadmaps, reference architectures, and technical guardrails.
Required Qualifications
- Significant experience designing and delivering enterprise-scale applications, including experience as a Solution Architect, Application Architect, Technical Architect, or equivalent technical leader.
- Strong understanding of modern web application architecture and software engineering practices.
- Strong knowledge of modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems and experience with React/Next.js and/or Angular.
- Strong understanding of Node.js application and API architectures.
- Experience with REST APIs, distributed systems, integration patterns, and service-oriented or microservices architectures.
- Experience designing applications for containerized environments using Docker, Kubernetes, or comparable technologies.
- Strong understanding of application security, identity, authentication, authorization, CI/CD, and modern software delivery practices.
- Experience designing for availability, scalability, performance, resiliency, and observability.
- Ability to work across multiple technical organizations and communicate effectively with engineering teams, architects, technology leaders, and business stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
- Architecture and deployment experience with Red Hat OpenShift.
- Experience with public cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
- Experience with API management, gateway technologies, enterprise identity solutions, and messaging/event-streaming technologies such as Kafka.
- Knowledge of service mesh, distributed tracing, and cloud-native observability technologies.
- Experience with DevSecOps and automated software delivery practices.
- Experience modernizing legacy applications into modern web and cloud-native architectures.
- Experience in large, complex, highly regulated, utility, energy, or critical-infrastructure environments; utility experience is not required.
Desired Characteristics
- Strong architectural judgment and ability to balance strategic direction with pragmatic delivery.
- Comfortable moving between high-level architecture and detailed technical discussions.
- Able to challenge designs constructively and explain the reasoning behind architecture decisions.
- Effective at influencing technical outcomes across organizational boundaries without requiring direct authority.
