• Support architecture review, technical assessment, and solution validation activities for projects or product. 
• Collaborate with Engineering teams to ensure implementation aligns with approved architecture standards and solution design. 
• Work with DevOps, Infrastructure, and Security teams to validate deployment readiness, operational maintainability, monitoring, and security alignment. 
• Assist in identifying technical risks, architectural gaps, dependencies, and improvement opportunities across systems and platforms. 
• Support troubleshooting and root cause analysis activities involving cross-system integration or platform-related issues. 
• Prepare Architecture Decision Records (ADR), technical analysis reports, and solution recommendations when required. 
• Participate in architecture governance, standardization initiatives, technical discussions, and continuous improvement programs within Technology Strategy & Excellence.
