Job description

Job Description

This is a rare opportunity to shape enterprise architecture from the ground up, not inherit someone else's blueprint. The work is complex, consequential, and high‑visibility, with direct access to IT leadership and a clear mandate to build something lasting.

What You’ll Do

• Lead integration architecture across the Oracle Cloud migration, designing API‑integration and standards that connect Oracle and surrounding enterprise applications.
• Define current‑ and target‑state architectures across ERP, HCM, CIS, and finance domains, utilizing Oracle tooling (OIC) and out‑of‑the‑box configurations.
• Guide application rationalization decisions: retain, retire, replace, or modernize as Oracle modules displace legacy platforms.
• Partner with IT leadership, an engaged implementation partner, and business stakeholders to ensure architectural alignment throughout a phased, multi‑year transformation.
• Contribute to SDLC standards, AI development guardrails, and architectural principles documentation as part of the Architecture Review Board.

Qualifications

Required

• 7+ years of full‑stack development experience (hands‑on coding background is a must to understand the current .NET, Python, low‑code/no‑code platform).
• 5+ years in application or solution architecture roles, including leading complex cross‑functional implementations.
• ERP experience SAP or Oracle strongly preferred; must understand how ERP modules interact with surrounding systems.
• Hands‑on experience designing API‑driven integration layers between enterprise applications.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field.

Preferred

• Oracle Cloud / OCI experience (OIC, Oracle data movement products); cloud and hybrid architecture background.
• Experience with enterprise transformations, platform consolidations, or post‑acquisition integrations.
• Background in utilities, energy, or other regulated industries.
• Strong executive and stakeholder communication skills; comfort presenting architectural decisions to IT and business leadership.

Why Is This a Great Opportunity

This is a newly created, first‑of‑its‑kind role at a multi‑state company and a critical hire as the organization executes one of the most significant enterprise transformations in its history. Reporting directly to the VP of IT, you will own the application and integration architecture domain as they migrate to a consolidated Oracle Cloud Fusion platform (HCM, Finance, and CIS), replacing legacy ERP environments.

You’ll define the integration layer as an API‑driven architecture connecting Oracle Cloud and surrounding systems, guide build/buy/configure decisions as new Oracle modules come online, and sit on the Architecture Review Board. This is a hands‑on technical leadership role with direct influence over architecture standards, SDLC governance, and AI development guardrails.

Benefits Include

• Annual Bonus Program
• Low cost medical, dental premiums
• Very generous Paid Time Off
• 401K match plus additional Company Funded Retirement Savings Account (even if you don’t contribute to 401K)
• Leadership training program
• Management that is dedicated to your career success and flexible when life happens
• Positive/collaborative work culture
