This is a senior individual contributor role with deep influence and no direct reports. If you love turning complex, multi-team technical challenges into clear architecture and mentoring engineers along the way, we want to talk to you.

What You’ll Do

• Design and maintain the enterprise software architecture roadmap, aligned with business objectives and product strategy.
• Define architectural standards, design patterns, reference architectures, and technology strategies for engineering teams to build against.
• Lead architecture reviews for new products and major initiatives, and ensure architectural consistency across multiple product lines.
• Drive modernization of legacy applications into cloud-native, modular, and scalable architectures.
• Design AI-ready software architectures that support Machine Learning and Generative AI capabilities across the platform.
• Architect AI solutions using Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), vector databases, and intelligent workflows.
• Partner with Product Management and Data Science to identify AI-enabled product opportunities and guide model integration, AI services, and AI APIs.
• Evaluate emerging AI technologies and establish architectural principles for responsible AI, security, privacy, and governance.
• Design scalable, cloud-native architectures on AWS, defining microservices strategies and service boundaries.
• Design event-driven architectures using messaging and streaming technologies, and establish API-first integration standards.
• Support platform engineering initiatives and shared infrastructure services, and improve system resiliency, scalability, and disaster recovery.
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to engineering leadership, mentor senior engineers and architects, and lead design sessions and technical workshops.
• Promote engineering best practices including Domain-Driven Design, SOLID principles, clean architecture, and secure coding standards.
• Collaborate with DevOps to improve deployment automation and observability, and drive adoption of reusable platform services and frameworks.
• Partner with Product, Security, Compliance, and executive leadership on technology strategy, architectural governance, and roadmap planning.

What You'll Bring

• 15+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 8+ years designing enterprise software architecture.
