Associate Solution Architect, Telibandha, Raipur
A full-time Associate Solution Architect opening has arisen in Telibandha, Raipur, with a salary up to ₹89,000 per month. The role sits at the point where a client's business requirements are translated into a concrete technical plan, and it's on-site.
The team here works across a handful of client accounts at once, mostly mid-sized companies modernizing older systems rather than building something entirely from scratch. That mix matters for the kind of thinking the role calls for: less greenfield design, more figuring out how a new capability fits into something that already exists and already has users depending on it.
What the job actually involves
- Designing scalable technical solutions for client or internal projects
- Guiding implementation teams on best practices during the build phase
- Evaluating new technologies and tools before recommending them for adoption
- Keeping architecture decisions aligned with the underlying business goals rather than technology for its own sake
A recent case that fits this pattern: a client wanted their inventory system to handle three times the current transaction volume without a full rebuild. Figuring out where the existing architecture would actually bend versus break, and proposing a phased migration instead of a rip-and-replace, is the kind of decision this role is built around.
Who fits this role
The minimum credential is a bachelor's degree, generally in a computing field, though a closely related engineering background would also be considered. Eighteen months of relevant experience is expected, ideally including some direct exposure to system design work rather than purely coding tickets. Someone earlier in that curve who's shown strong architectural instincts on a smaller project would still be worth a conversation.
This is an associate-level seat, so nobody expects a candidate to walk in already running enterprise architecture on their own. What matters more is a demonstrated habit of thinking through trade-offs before committing to a design, and enough communication skill to explain that reasoning to people who aren't engineers. A candidate who can describe why they rejected one approach, not just why they picked the one they went with, tends to stand out here more than someone who can only describe the final design.
Core skills
System design experience is central here, along with working familiarity with at least one major cloud platform. Naukri Mitra has seen this combination requested across several similar postings this quarter, and it reflects what clients in this market are actually asking for right now: someone who can translate technical constraints into terms a business stakeholder will understand, and hold their own in a room full of people pushing for different priorities.
Beyond the core requirements, prior exposure to microservices patterns, infrastructure-as-code tools, or a relevant cloud certification would strengthen an application, though none are mandatory for someone otherwise strong on the fundamentals. Stakeholder communication matters just as much as any technical checklist item, since a design that's technically sound but poorly explained tends to get relitigated in every review meeting instead of being approved and built.
Technical leadership at this level usually shows up in smaller ways than the title might suggest, things like owning a design document end to end, or being the person a junior developer checks with before making an assumption about how a component should behave. It's less about managing people and more about being a reliable point of judgment on a project.
Pay and location details
The role pays up to ₹89,000 monthly and is based on-site in Telibandha, Raipur. This isn't a remote or hybrid arrangement; client workshops and design reviews happen in person often enough that the on-site setup is a real requirement rather than a formality.
Benefits
- Health insurance coverage
- Paid time off
- Provident fund contributions
- Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Raipur
A note on the pace of the work
Some weeks look like steady documentation and diagramming work, mapping out a system before a build starts. Other weeks get compressed around a client deadline, when a design needs sign-off faster than anyone would prefer, which means defending a recommendation under some pressure rather than walking through it at leisure. Both halves are part of the job, not an exception to it.
Client-facing work also means occasional pushback that has nothing to do with the technical merits of a proposal, budget constraints, a stakeholder who prefers a familiar vendor, or timelines set before the architecture was even scoped. Handling that without getting defensive about the design is a skill in itself, and it's one the team looks for during the working session mentioned further down.
Where this leads
Raipur's technology sector has been expanding as more mid-sized firms set up delivery centers outside traditional metro hubs, and solution architecture is one role seeing steady demand as a result. An associate stepping into this seat with solid fundamentals would typically be looking at a senior architect track within a few years, assuming project exposure continues to broaden rather than narrow to a single client's stack. Solution architect salaries in Raipur have also been trending upward as that demand grows, so the pay ceiling on the senior track tends to move with it.
Applying
Submit an application through the listing, including specifics on any system you've helped design, such as the scale involved and the trade-offs you weighed along the way. A portfolio or write-up of a past architectural decision, even an informal one, tends to say more than a list of certifications. Candidates who move forward should expect a working session where they'll sketch out a solution to a realistic scenario on the spot, rather than a standard question-and-answer interview.
Given the on-site requirement, being based in or near Raipur will make the transition smoother, though the relocation support mentioned above is available for candidates coming from elsewhere in Chhattisgarh or beyond. Feedback after the working session typically arrives within a few working days, and candidates are welcome to ask questions about the client mix or the day-to-day workload before the session rather than finding out everything at once during the interview itself.
