SALARY (W2)

$130,000 – $150,000

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Solves complex problems across COTS systems, cloud infrastructure, data, and AI
• Identifies pain points and modernization opportunities
• Develops detailed Points of View (POV) using a domain-centric, collaborative approach with architectural and tech pattern recommendations
• Evaluates enterprise architecture configurations based on business value, resilience, and cost

EXPERIENCE

• Experience as an Architecture Generalist; must be conversant across: applications, software engineering, data, infrastructure, and security. Able to design complex, enterprise-level solutions end-to-end.
