A Digital Architect provides architectural expertise and strategic guidance and is responsible for overseeing the software architecture of digital services, the alignment of services to a common architecture vision, and the iterative delivery of solutions to create a complete digital service.
The Digital Architects will guide the team in the rapid, iterative delivery of user-centric services with solution designs that align to the overall architectural vision and are in support of technical standards, coding standards, common tools and platforms. The Digital Architect will also guide the product owner and team in balancing the allocation of team capacity between user stories and technical tasks. The Digital Architects may perform some development work if needed. Therefore, a Digital Architect must have a strong technical understanding of current and emerging technologies, balanced with strong business acumen and project leadership skills.
The Digital Architect will be required on a full time basis (7.25 hour work day), working across one (1) to two (2) projects.
