Job summary

You will partner with cloud/infrastructure and domain leaders to define target-state architecture, integration patterns, and data zoning, guiding decisions on where systems and data reside.

Qualifications

• 15+ years of experience in enterprise architecture, solution architecture, or senior architecture roles spanning multiple business domains and technology platforms.
• Experience shaping enterprise technology landscapes across applications, data platforms, and integration patterns.
• Experience in regulated, security-sensitive, or government-adjacent environments with constraints around sensitive data handling and compliance.
• Experience in hybrid or multi-environment architectures (commercial plus government-hosted, cloud plus on-prem, or segregated environments).
• Strong understanding of enterprise integration patterns and trade-offs among APIs, eventing, and batch movement.
• Ability to engage effectively with technical teams, business stakeholders, security/compliance, and infrastructure leaders.

Responsibilities

• Define and evolve the target-state enterprise systems and data architecture across major business domains (G&A, product, engineering, operations, and supply-chain-adjacent).
• Lead discovery and rationalization of function-level and shadow IT stacks, documenting current-state architectures and proposing a phased roadmap.
• Design and govern architecture patterns for regulated multi-environment operations with data zoning and cross-environment interaction.
• Partner with Cloud & Infrastructure and Security & Compliance on infrastructure implications while focusing on system, data, and integration architecture.
• Define approved integration patterns (API, event-driven, batch data movement) between business systems and data platforms.
• Guide decisions on where sensitive data and workloads live and how systems interact without debt or policy violations.
• Provide architectural oversight for cross-domain programs (ERP implementation, data platform modernization, domain onboarding).
• Establish architecture review practices, reference architectures, and reusable standards to accelerate delivery.
• Coach software teams on enterprise architecture principles and trade-offs through reviews and guidance.
• Act as strategic partner to Sr. Director of Enterprise Data & Architecture to extend leadership across domains.
