• Champion architecture standards. Participate in defining and applying architectural principles, patterns, and governance practices to ensure consistency and quality.
• Shape our cloud evolution. Build and maintain current‑state, transition‑state, and future‑state architectures for your area, helping teams understand where we are today—and where we’re going.
• Serve as a trusted consultant. Advise teams on platforms, technologies, and vendor solutions that best support our business goals.
• Spot risks and opportunities. Monitor systems and applications to identify technical debt, legacy constraints, and improvement opportunities—and recommend smart, forward‑thinking solutions.
• Guide technology selection. Help evaluate and select software, platforms, and services, and support the design of both standard and custom configurations.
• Other responsibilities that support our mission, as needed.
