A team in Marathahalli, Bangalore, is hiring a Lead Enterprise Architect to take ownership of how enterprise software is actually built around a business, not just installed on top of it. The company runs on-site, and this is a full-time seat.
Most implementation projects fail quietly. The software works; the modules are configured correctly on paper; and six months later, half the department is still running the old process in a spreadsheet because nobody properly translated the actual workflow into the system. That gap between what a platform can technically do and what a business will actually adopt is where this role lives. It's part technical judgment, part negotiation, and part patience with people who didn't ask for their process to change.
Skills you'll bring
- Solid working knowledge of enterprise architecture frameworks, TOGAF in particular
- System design chops that hold up when requirements change mid-project
- The ability to sit across the table from a stakeholder and actually get to what they need, not just what they said
That last one gets underrated. Plenty of architects can draw a clean diagram; fewer can sit through a two-hour requirements meeting and pull out the three things that matter.
Day to day
This role covers three connected pieces of work. You'll configure enterprise software modules so they fit how the business actually operates, gather requirements directly from stakeholders across departments, and stay involved after go-live to support end users as they adjust to the new system.
- Configure enterprise software modules to match specific business processes
- Run requirements-gathering sessions with stakeholders and translate their input into technical specs
- Support end users once the system goes live, fixing what breaks and training people through the rough patches
Go-live is where a lot of the real work happens, honestly. The configuration is done by then, but that's usually when a manager somewhere realizes the report they've relied on for years doesn't exist in the new format, or a team discovers their old workaround no longer applies. Sorting through that, deciding what's a genuine gap versus what's just a habit people need to unlearn, falls squarely on this role.
Background we're looking for
A bachelor's degree is the baseline here, typically in information technology, business administration, or a similarly relevant field. Alongside that, we're looking for a vendor-specific functional or technical certification for the enterprise software you'll be working with.
On experience: this is a 12-year minimum. Naukri Mitra has listed this as a lead-level opening for good reason. At this stage of your career, you're not being hired to learn the module, you're being hired to already know it cold and to make the calls when a client's process doesn't fit the standard template.
That doesn't mean rigid adherence to how things were always done. A big part of the job is knowing when to push back on a client who wants the software bent into an unusual shape versus when to just build the custom workflow, because sometimes their process really is better than the vendor's default. Twelve years is roughly what it takes to develop that instinct reliably rather than by guesswork.
Why the certification matters
A degree gets you in the door. Hands-on implementation experience with the specific enterprise software module in question is what gets used on day one, and certification is the fastest way for us to verify that you have it before we're three weeks into a client engagement.
Pay and benefits
The role pays 221,000 INR per month. On top of that:
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
- Performance-linked bonuses
- On-site cafeteria access
- Cab or commute support
The commute support is worth mentioning specifically, since Marathahalli traffic is no small thing and it's built into the offer rather than left as an afterthought.
The Bangalore market, briefly
Enterprise architect roles in Bangalore are plentiful, but lead-level openings with this kind of compensation are less common, and most of what's out there sits well below 221k monthly for someone with a full decade-plus of experience. Companies hiring for this level of ERP and enterprise architecture work in Marathahalli specifically tend to be implementation partners or large in-house IT teams running SAP, Oracle, or similar platforms at scale, which is a different daily reality than a smaller consultancy juggling a dozen small clients at once.
If you're weighing offers, the thing worth checking isn't just the monthly number. It's whether the module you'd be certified on is one the company is actually scaling up, or one they're quietly moving away from. Ask directly in the interview which modules are seeing new client wins this year versus which ones are mostly maintenance work on older contracts. The answer tells you a lot about whether this role stays interesting three years in.
Getting started
Submit a resume that shows your specific enterprise software module experience clearly, along with details of your current certification. Include the scale of the implementations you've led: number of users, modules configured, and whether you managed the stakeholder relationship directly or through a project manager. That last detail matters more than it might seem, since this role puts you in front of stakeholders regularly rather than shielded behind a delivery layer.
Candidates moving from a smaller consultancy into a larger implementation team sometimes underestimate how much of the job is communication rather than configuration. Both matter here, but if you had to pick one skill to sharpen before applying, make it the conversations, not the config screens.
If you've led a project where the technical build went smoothly but adoption lagged, mention it in your application rather than leaving it off. We're specifically interested in how you identified the gap and what you changed as a result. A resume full of clean rollouts with no complications doesn't tell us much about how someone handles the messy ones, and the messy ones are where a lead architect actually earns their title.
Shortlisted applicants can expect an initial screening call followed by a scenario-based technical discussion, where you'll walk through how you'd approach a real configuration problem rather than answer questions from a script. The office is in Marathahalli, and interviews for this role are conducted in person.
