Job Title: Enterprise Architect – Digital Twin Platform

Location: Remote, USA

Job Type: Full-Time

Role Overview

We are seeking a forward-thinking Enterprise Architect to drive the strategy, design, and execution of a city-scale digital twin platform that integrates real-time IoT data, 3D modeling, immersive visualization, and AI-powered insights into a cohesive urban intelligence system.

This role is central to aligning business objectives with technical capabilities—balancing future-proof architecture, security, interoperability, and cloud-native scalability. You will collaborate closely with internal development teams, city stakeholders, and technology partners to ensure a seamless, resilient, and sustainable smart city platform.

Key Responsibilities

• Architectural Strategy & Leadership: Develop and maintain the overarching enterprise architecture framework for the digital twin ecosystem, aligned with smart city objectives and long-term digital transformation goals.
• Platform Integration & Alignment: Design and lead integration across cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), digital twin engines (e.g., Azure Digital Twins, Siemens, Cesium), AI/ML services, and IoT infrastructure.
• Interoperability and Governance: Champion dynamic, technical, and organizational interoperability, enabling real-time data exchange and unified city operations across transportation, utilities, infrastructure, and emergency response domains.
• Team Collaboration: Coordinate architecture efforts across technical and functional roles—3D Developers, Simulation Engineers, Immersive Experience Designers, Smart Cities Consultants, Cybersecurity Leads, and others—ensuring consistency and cohesion across application, data, and infrastructure layers.
• Compliance & Cybersecurity Oversight: Establish security-first architectural patterns and support compliance initiatives with respect to NIST, FedRAMP, Zero Trust, and other relevant frameworks. Collaborate closely with the Cybersecurity Lead to protect expansive IoT attack surfaces.
• Technology Evaluation & Roadmapping: Monitor and evaluate emerging technologies relevant to urban-scale digital twins, recommending strategic adoptions and platform enhancements to maintain architectural agility.
• Executive & Stakeholder Communication: Translate complex architecture roadmaps into clear narratives for city executives, civic agencies, and external partners, guiding procurement, integration, and policy decisions.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in enterprise architecture, ideally in large-scale, multi-stakeholder platforms or urban systems.
• Demonstrated experience designing for cloud-native, event-driven systems, microservices, and digital twin platforms (Azure Digital Twins, Siemens, PTC, etc.).
• Proven ability to architect solutions with high security, scalability, and availability requirements.
• Strong understanding of enterprise data strategy, DevOps/CI-CD, and modern API architecture.
• Excellent leadership and stakeholder engagement skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in government, urban planning, smart cities, or critical infrastructure domains.
• Familiarity with GIS/BIM interoperability, 3D/4D geospatial systems, and urban simulation tools.
• TOGAF, Zachman, or equivalent EA certification.
• Active or eligible for U.S. Security Clearance (Secret or higher preferred).
• Experience integrating AI/ML workflows, predictive analytics, and simulation modeling into enterprise systems.

Success Metrics

• Cohesive, secure, and scalable architecture delivering real-time insights across city departments.
• High developer velocity enabled by clear standards, frameworks, and integrations.
• Adoption of the platform across planning, transportation, utilities, and emergency response.
• Platform resilience and security maintained despite continuous real-time data flows from hundreds of thousands of IoT and sensor endpoints.
