Job description

Application Architect | Minnesota | Upto $200,000

This role sits at the intersection of business strategy and technology execution. The Application Architect is a senior advisor responsible for shaping how complex digital solutions are designed, governed, and delivered across enterprise environments.

Operating in a consultative capacity, you own the technical approach rather than the day-to-day build. You partner with product leaders, engineers, and senior stakeholders to define architectural direction, translate ambiguous requirements into executable designs, and ensure technology investments produce measurable business outcomes.

You will be brought into initiatives where clarity is missing, systems are interconnected, and decisions carry long-term consequences.

What You’ll Do

Define end-to-end solution designs for customer-facing and operational systems, balancing business priorities, technical constraints, and future scalability. Guide teams on integration patterns, data flows, and system boundaries without becoming embedded in delivery execution.

Act as a Trusted Advisor

Work directly with senior stakeholders to challenge assumptions, surface risks, and recommend pragmatic architectural paths. Provide clear guidance on trade-offs, sequencing, and technology choices.

Translate Strategy into Design

Produce high-level architectural artefacts—system diagrams, design principles, and technical blueprints—that enable delivery teams to move quickly with confidence.

Enable Delivery Teams

Support product and engineering teams by clarifying requirements, refining technical approaches, and removing uncertainty during delivery cycles. Step in where complexity or ambiguity slows progress.

Govern and Evolve Architecture

Define and maintain technology roadmaps that align near-term delivery with long-term platform direction. Identify opportunities to simplify, modernise, or rationalise systems over time.

Mentor and Influence

Provide architectural guidance and coaching to engineers and technical leads, raising the overall quality of design and decision-making across teams.

Experience & Capabilities

• Deep experience designing and advising on enterprise application architectures
• Strong background with CRM and customer engagement platforms, including complex customisation and integration
• Hands-on understanding of modern integration patterns, event-driven systems, and distributed architectures
• Comfortable operating in agile, multi-team environments where priorities evolve
• Excellent communicator, able to explain complex technical decisions in plain language to non-technical stakeholders
• Proven ability to operate independently, make decisions with incomplete information, and influence without authority

Background

• 10+ years delivering complex business applications in enterprise environments
• Experience working in advisory, consulting, or architecture-focused roles
• Degree in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience

Practical Details

This is an individual contributor role with no direct people management.

Some travel may be required depending on project needs.

A competitive compensation and benefits package is provided, aligned to experience and location.
