Enterprise Architect

Enterprise Architect

Hey All, Pat from Everforth here again. I am working on a direct hire role with one of my clients in the Philly Area. Hybrid three days a week, three interview steps with the last one being an onsite interview. Looking to pay a salary of 120-160k per year, full medical benefits, tuition reimbursement, 401k, and performance based yearly salary increases.

I am looking for a true Enterprise Architect that has worked on all aspects of IT, maybe a slight focus on networking and Infrastructure but the full gambit is needed. This is a hands off role where most of the work revolves around collaboration with other teams, documentation, guardrail setting, and architectural oversight. As always my AI assistant Riley is running with outreaches however if this is a perfect match(like a glove) reach out to me at  to skip the line.

Location:

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Onsite)
