As a solution architect, you have the ability to grasp the complexity associated with modern platform solutions, and break it down into simpler, understandable bits towards both engineers as well as business stakeholders.

Responsibilities:
- It's your responsibility to ensure that the architecture of the products you're assigned to is sound, well-understood and continues to evolve in a direction that best support the business case.
