Job Description & How to Apply Below

We’re Looking For for an Enterprise Architect to be the strategic mastermind behind our clients’ technological landscapes. You are a "builder" who operates at the highest level—equally comfortable whiteboarding a five-year digital transformation roadmap for a C‑suite executive as you are diving into the technical debt of a legacy monolithic system.

You thrive on the intersection of business strategy and technological capability. You don't just design systems; you design the future‑proof frameworks that allow entire organizations to evolve. You are a master of alignment, ensuring that every application, data flow, and infrastructure component works in harmony to achieve overarching business goals.

What You’ll Do
  • Lead Technical Strategy & Governance:
    Define and maintain the enterprise architecture framework, establishing the standards, principles, and reference architectures that guide all technology decisions.
  • Bridge the Gap:
    Act as the primary conduit between executive leadership and technical teams, translating high‑level business objectives into actionable architectural roadmaps.
  • Drive Modernization:
    Lead complex digital transformation initiatives, orchestrating the migration and modernization of legacy environments into cloud‑native, microservices‑based ecosystems.
  • Be the Client-Facing Authority:
    Lead strategic discovery sessions and workshops with C‑level stakeholders to assess current‑state environments and define target‑state visions.
  • Optimize the Portfolio:
    Conduct application portfolio rationalization to identify redundancies, reduce technical debt, and ensure cost‑effective resource utilization across the enterprise.
  • Manage Risk & Security:
    Embed "security‑by‑design" principles across the entire enterprise architecture, ensuring compliance with global regulatory and privacy standards.
What You Bring (Requirements)
  • Professional

    Experience:

    10‑15+ years of experience in IT architecture, with at least 5+ years in a formal Enterprise Architect role.
  • Architectural Mastery:
    Deep knowledge of EA frameworks (e.g., TOGAF, Zachman) and the ability to apply them pragmatically in a fast‑paced startup environment.
  • Cloud Ecosystem Expertise:
    Expert‑level understanding of AWS (Azure or GCP is a plus) and how cloud‑native services integrate into a broader enterprise landscape.
  • Strategic Design:
    Proven ability to design multi‑tier, distributed systems including microservices, event‑driven architectures, and complex integration patterns (APIs, ESB).
  • Business Acumen:
    Strong understanding of business processes, financial modeling (Fin Ops), and the ability to perform gap analysis between current and future states.
  • Leadership & Mentorship:
    Proven ability to lead and influence cross‑functional teams of Solution and Technical Architects without direct authority.
  • Startup Mentality: A strategic "builder" mindset with the agility to pivot and a genuine thirst for staying ahead of emerging tech trends (AI, IoT, Blockchain).
Bonus Points (Nice‑to‑Haves)
  • Certifications:

    AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional and/or TOGAF 9/Enterprise Architecture certifications.
  • Industry

    Experience:

    Prior experience in a high‑growth Professional Services or global consulting firm.
  • Tech Versatility:
    Experience with GenAI integration and MLOps at an enterprise scale.
Why You'll Love It Here
  • Our Product is Our People:
    We live by this. We invest in people who invest in themselves. Your growth is our growth.
  • True Servant Leadership:
    Our CTO leads with a "force multiplier" philosophy. Management is here to empower you and clear roadblocks, not to micromanage. We won't ask you to do anything we're not willing to do ourselves.
  • Flat Organization, Real Impact:
    Your voice and designs will directly shape our technical roadmap and our clients' success. You'll work on the latest tech to solve real problems.
  • A "Learn-from-it" Culture:
    We're moving fast and building new things. We believe mistakes are learning opportunities, not failures.
