• Define approaches for asynchronous and long-running workflows, including AI operations that may take several minutes to complete.
• Design resilient integration patterns for API failures, timeouts, retries, background jobs, and recovery scenarios.
• Ensure the solution works within Atlassian Forge platform constraints and limitations.
• Define security, authentication, authorization, data access, and API integration approaches.
• Provide architectural guidance to developers and review technical implementation decisions.
• Identify technical risks, limitations, and potential performance or scalability issues.
• Collaborate with client architects, developers, and other stakeholders to ensure the solution aligns with the overall system architecture.
• Support troubleshooting and resolution of complex integration and platform issues.
