Anblicks; Dallas (TX); On-site; USD 180,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

Anblicks is seeking an architect who builds, not documents. You will own the end-to-end picture across data platforms, applications, cloud infrastructure, governance, and how business teams derive value from it.

This is a hands-on role: you will solve hard problems with a whiteboard, blueprint, and working code when needed, lead architecture discussions with clients, and translate between business and technology at the right level.

Qualifications

• 15–20+ years in technology, with meaningful time in architecture roles on complex, multi-system environments.
• Hands-on architect who can produce working code and reference implementations.
• Experience leading architecture discussions with clients and stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end architecture across data platforms, applications, integration layers, cloud infrastructure, and downstream consumption.
• Assess current-state landscapes and design target-state architectures that are realistic and implementable.
• Build reference implementations, blueprint code, and proofs-of-concept for delivery teams.
• Identify automation opportunities across pipelines, deployment, testing, and operations.
• Make and defend technology choices: build vs buy, batch vs streaming, managed vs self-hosted.
• Build observability into designs with monitoring and alerting.
• Provide escalation support and root-cause analysis for production/data issues.
• Partner with engineering teams through delivery and stay involved post-design review.
• Represent Anblicks with clients — lead architecture discussions and workshops.
