• Cross silo reuse and reduction of duplicate platforms/integrations Responsibilities: I want to and can do that! Solution Architecture & Design
• Lead end‑to‑end designs across UI/UX, enterprise apps, APIs, data platforms, event‑driven systems, cloud landing zones, identity/zero trust, resiliency, and observability.

• Extend reference architectures and ensure alignment with enterprise guardrails and target states. Strategic Architecture Domains
• Workload Orchestration & Compute:
Standards for containerization, serverless, and distributed compute to maximize scalability, portability, and efficiency.
• Enterprise Integration: API‑first and asynchronous integration patterns that simplify interoperability and reduce system coupling.
• Identity & Security Architecture:
Zero Trust, IAM lifecycle governance, encryption standards, and proactive threat‑modeling guidance.
• Data & Information Architecture:
Enterprise data strategy, unified data fabric patterns, lifecycle governance, and readiness for advanced analytics/AI.
• Connectivity &…
