Application Solution Architect

Application Solution Architect

Join Costa in Genoa as Application Solution Architect and drive excellence in design and govern hybrid application architectures that connect business capabilities, shipboard systems, shore services, and cloud platforms (Azure and AWS, with AWS as the preferred environment).

Live your ambition. Lead with impact

You’ll be a vital part of our Enterprise Architecture Team, where your impact will be felt across the business.

You’ll ensure application solutions are aligned with business goals, Costa architecture principles, Carnival Corporation standards, and cloud best practices.

Here’s a glimpse of your key responsibilities:

• Application & solution architecture

You will design end-to-end application architectures across shipboard data centers, shore-side platforms, and cloud; you will translate business requirements into solution architectures, integration models, and implementation roadmaps, ensuring availability, performance, scalability, security, compliance, and cost efficiency.

• Hybrid ship/shore & AWS cloud architecture

You will be able to design solutions operating across ships, shore data centers, and cloud, addressing intermittent connectivity, latency, data synchronization, and on-board resilience, leveraging AWS as the preferred platform in line with Costa and Carnival standards.

• Governance, integration & delivery support

Your role involves applying enterprise architecture principles and Carnival standards, design integration architectures (APIs, events, batch), guide delivery teams, evaluate technologies and vendors, and embed security-by-design and FinOps cost-awareness.

• Facilitating Collaboration

Your skills will be instrumental in fostering collaboration among team members, ensuring a harmonious and productive work environment.

You will collaborate with internal teams, technology vendors, and system integrators to ensure the quality and consistency of delivered solutions

What makes you unique

• 5+ years of experience in application, solution, or cloud architecture, or complex enterprise technology design.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related fields.
• Proven experience designing hybrid solutions involving cloud platforms and on-premises / data-center environments.
• Strong AWS architecture skills, preferably in multi-account models; Azure and Microsoft Entra ID are a plus.
• Solid integration and data expertise: APIs, event-driven patterns, batch integrations, data synchronization, and distributed application design.
• Knowledge of architecture frameworks (TOGAF, ArchiMate, C4) and containers/Kubernetes is a plus; AWS Solutions Architect certification strongly appreciated.
• Excellent communication and collaboration across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Fluent English with strong documentation and communication skills, able to balance technical quality, business value, cost, security, and delivery constraints.
