About the team
With this role you would get an opportunity to work with Merchant Global Sales and Onboarding Team.

You will get a chance to design solutions that would use some of the cutting-edge technologies in AWS, OCP, Kafka, Angular etc but more critically find solutions to address the need to onboard effectively, fast, consistently, which in turn positively kick start the (new) merchant engagement with our business.
What you will be doing
Solution architecture belongs to the list of most important practices executed before any technology solution development begins. It is the practice of designing, describing, and managing the solution engineering in relation to specific business problems.
A solution architect is the person in charge of the practice and introducing the overall technical vision for a particular solution and its integration in the business operations. This goes far beyond the Technical Architect role, which is much more focussed on the engineering specific concerns and the software architecture.
The solution architect describes how different component of business, information and technology architectures are used in a particular solution. It is a critical channel between the enterprise architecture and the technical architecture. You create/facilitate/enable a solution, not just 'work' on it.
