About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Application Architect (Migration Assessment & Modernization Strategy). Within the Transformation Solutions & Technology Office, you will lead application portfolio assessment, migration strategy, and modernization roadmap development across complex enterprise client environments. This role is anchored in the front-end of the engagement lifecycle — helping clients understand their estates, what it will take to modernize them, and how to sequence and fund the journey. You will translate heterogeneous application estates into structured, executable cloud transformation roadmaps and contribute to Solution Engineering, Proposal development, Sales, and Platform Advisory teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead large-scale application portfolio discovery and assessment engagements across enterprise client environments covering hundreds to thousands of applications including Java, .NET, legacy frameworks, packaged COTS, and custom systems.
• Design and execute application assessment frameworks that evaluate technical health, cloud readiness, containerization/serverless readiness, and potential modernization pathways.
• Conduct and lead application dependency mapping and integration topology analysis and run technical interviews and workshops with client development, operations, and architecture teams to supplement automated discovery.
• Produce formal Application Assessment Reports with executive summary, portfolio heat maps, technical findings, R‑Treatment recommendations, and migration/modernization readiness scores per application.
• Design target-state cloud architectures for complex, multi-tier enterprise applications spanning web, middleware, and database layers across Java, .NET, and polyglot environments.
• Architect DevSecOps transformation pipelines including CI/CD design, automated testing integration, security scanning, and GitOps adoption for modernized application platforms.
• Develop and apply structured R‑Treatment decision frameworks based on business value, technical health, cloud fit, and strategic priority and define precise application placement strategies across the 7‑Rs.
• Design migration sequencing and wave planning strategies balancing business priority, technical dependency order, risk concentration, and delivery team capacity across multi-year migration programs.
• Develop risk registers for migration programs identifying application-level technical risks, integration risks, data migration dependencies, and organizational change management considerations.
• Translate assessment findings and migration strategy decisions into detailed, milestone-driven, multi-horizon modernization roadmaps and prepare business cases quantifying expected outcomes and constraints.
• Develop application-level effort estimation models tied to migration wave plans with defensible estimates by treatment type, application complexity, and integration scope.
• Own the assessment and roadmap solutioning narrative for proposals, lead technical solution defense sessions with clients and partners, collaborate to build reusable assessment and strategy assets, and support GenAI-assisted assessment tooling and POC/demo execution as needed.

Qualifications

• 15+ years of overall IT experience with minimum 5+ years as an Enterprise Architect or Cloud Architect in large-scale environments.
• 8–12 years of experience in application architecture with demonstrated specialization in application portfolio assessment, migration strategy, and modernization roadmap development at enterprise scale.
• Proven experience leading application assessment engagements for large enterprise clients with portfolios of 50–1000+ applications across heterogeneous technology landscapes.
• Deep expertise in R‑Treatment decision frameworks with the ability to independently assess, classify, and prescribe modernization treatment for diverse application types with clear, defensible rationale.
• Strong understanding of application placement strategy across containerization, serverless, re-platform, and rearchitect patterns — with ab
