The primary role of the Lead Software Solution Architect is to assess and design requirements that embed the technical architecture of the Discovery program in an Agile technology team. The Technical Architect will work closely with the Technology Architects (network, integration, and security), Business Analysts and Product Owners as well as platform teams and external consultants. 

SC Discovery is a strategic phase within the Ignite program focused on shaping the future of ResMed’s Supply Chain capabilities. It is not about selecting specific applications yet; rather, it aims to define the future state architecture, capabilities, and design principles that will guide subsequent delivery phases. This phase ensures alignment between business strategy and technology enablement, creating a resilient, compliant, and scalable supply chain ecosystem. 

• Capability Roadmap & Taxonomy 
  Establish a structured capability taxonomy for supply chain, manufacturing, logistics, and related domains. This includes areas like Source-to-Receipt, Planning, Quality Management, Data & AI.  

• Architectural North Star 
  Define a clear target architecture to guide solution selection and integration across programs(e.g., Network 2030, Enterprise MDM). This involves conceptual application views, integration patterns, and governance models.  

• Fit-Gap Analysis & Future State Design 
  Conduct detailed assessments of current processes and systems, identify gaps, and outline high-value design decisions for the next five years. 

SC Discovery spans multiple streams: 

• Functional streams and business architecture: Mapping processes across manufacturing, logistics, inventory, and quality. 

• Architectural enablers: Covering ERP, data architecture, observability, security, and automation. 

The technical architect oversees all the Architectural / technical enablers and has multiple project functions / team members reporting into this role: 

1. Integration Layer 

• Enterprise Integration Platform (Oracle Integration Cloud, event-driven architecture). 

• API Gateway and REST services for secure, standardised connectivity. 

• Event-driven orchestration to enable near real-time updates and decoupled systems. 

2. Observability & Reliability 

• Multi-level observability dashboards for IT and OT systems. 

• Automated alerting and self-healing mechanisms to reduce downtime. 

• Continuity and rollback frameworks for zero-disruption transitions. 

3. Security & Compliance 

• Role-based access control (RBAC), encryption, and audit trails. 

• Cloud validation approach (CSV aligned with GAMP 5 for SaaS platforms). 

• Identity hygiene automation (e.g., automated deactivation of inactive accounts). 

4. Planning & Decision Support 

• Integrated planning platforms (e.g., o9) with AI-driven insights. 

• Digital twin and simulation capabilities for scenario modelling. 

• Operational intelligence dashboards for proactive decision-making. 

5. IT/OT Enablement 

• Factory network resilience and segmentation for automation readiness. 

• Shop-floor integration patterns for smart sequencing and remote operations. 

6. Custom developed integrations adaptions and integrations 

Let’s talk about Responsibilities. 

• Be Proactive Self-starter, solution-oriented who can manage own tasks & time. 

• Be customer-centric, data-driven, quality-focused, collaborative & have a positive attitude. 

• Drive integration strategy using Oracle Integration Cloud, API-first design, and event-driven architecture. 

• Establish observability and reliability standards, including dashboards, automated alerts, and continuity plans. 

• Ensure security and compliance for all integrations and SaaS platforms (RBAC, encryption, audit, CSV validation) 

• Support IT/OT enablement for factory automation, network resilience, and smart sequencing. 

• Collaborate with Domain Solution Architects, Business analysts and business stakeholders to identify the requirements, define project scope and design software solutions. 

• Work together with MES developers (.net) and understand custom developed architecture at Resmed 

• Have regular conversations with other tech teams and platforms across ResMed on tech stack standardisations and extensions. 

• Lead the technical strategy - provide technical direction, architectural decisions, and oversight of how and when features will be implemented. 

• Stay connected to state-of-the-art developments, latest trends, and design innovative apps for Supply Chain domain. 

• Understand boundaries, strengths, and weaknesses of as-is application(s) landscape 

• Ensure solution adheres to enterprise design principles and report to Enterprise Architecture (EA) team 

• Engage in SC solution discovery phase for custom-built requirements 

• Design for security, stability, sustainability and performance with the help of security and integration architects 

• Set and maintain standards for engineering teams, advocate for code quality and create a culture of continuous improvement. 

• Comprehend end-to-end MES codebase (based .net) and be able to code extensions, conduct assessments and support the current .net development team.
