Principal Enterprise Applications Architect

We are looking for a Principal Enterprise Applications Architect to serve as a strategic technical leader for our corporate back-office ecosystem and spearhead large-scale application and business process transformation. In this role, you will align business strategies with enterprise technical architecture across our Finance, HR, and Legal domains, reimagining end-to-end workflows to ensure a seamless, automated flow of information from upstream Go-To-Market (GTM) systems.

We need a hands-on, deeply technical visionary who can architect complex cross-platform integrations and system workflows across a modern, best-of-breed enterprise application stack. You will engineer scalable, enterprise-grade integration services using modern iPaaS frameworks, lead comprehensive process modernization efforts to eliminate operational friction, and actively accelerate business velocity by introducing AI-driven automation into our day-to-day operations.

Architect the Back Office:
Serve as a technical authority for our core back-office ecosystem, including Workday, Net Suite, Zuora, Zip, Xactly, and Ironclad and other applications to ensure system scalability, data integrity, and tight alignment with end-to-end data flows.

Build the Bridges:
Design, code, and deploy robust, reusable application integrations and services using Workato or similar integration tooling to connect disparate boundary systems into a unified, automated engine.

Drive AI Transformation:
Champion the practical application of AI within our corporate systems. You will lead the charge in deploying AI/LLM connectors and workflow automation to strengthen operating controls and eliminate manual bottlenecks.

Translate & Execute:
Partner closely with executive business stakeholders across Finance, HR, Legal, and GTM to translate strategic business capabilities into bulletproof technical requirements and end-to-end system design specifications.

Drive Process & Integration Simplification:
Optimize the end-to-end back-office data lifecycle to reduce architectural complexity and maximize efficiency. Streamline integrations so data flows seamlessly from upstream GTM platforms through legal compliance, the Hire-to-Retire lifecycle, and into core billing and financial systems, eliminating operational friction and manual overhead.

Mentor and Lead:
Act as a technical mentor to business systems analysts and engineers, setting the gold standard for clean architecture, integration best practices, and innovative problem-solving.

The

Experience:

15+ years of progressive technical experience in enterprise applications engineering, with a heavy emphasis on core corporate back-office systems.

Cross-Domain Technical Leadership:
Proven, hands-on technical architecture and engineering experience across Workday, coupled with deep experience integrating and extending robust finance, procurement, and legal systems (e.g. Net Suite, Zuora, Zip, Xactly, and Ironclad). You bring a holistic, company-wide technical perspective rather than a siloed application specialization.

Technical Design & Execution: A proven track record of writing detailed technical specifications, designing robust error-handling frameworks, and executing complex software rollouts across multi-dimensional teams.

Integration Mastery:
Deep expertise in enterprise integration patterns and extensive hands-on experience building complex workflows using Workato (or similar enterprise iPaaS platforms), complemented by strong scripting / coding skills.

Compliance & Governance:
Strong understanding of SOX compliance, IT General Controls (ITGCs), and segregation of duties (SoD). Proven ability to architect, enforce, and embed highly effective, automated technical controls…
