The Opportunity:
Technology is no longer just a support function - it's becoming the core driver of how modern enterprises operate, adapt, and grow. As systems become more interconnected, vendor landscapes more fragmented, and business demands more urgent, the need for strong technical architecture leadership has never been greater.

What You'll Work On:

• Lead the technical strategy for large-scale, cross-functional initiatives that span legacy modernization, enterprise integration, and emerging technology adoption.

• Help evaluate tools, guide architectural decisions, and work across business, operations, and engineering stakeholders to shape solutions that are not only technically sound but organizationally viable.

• Thrive at the intersection of system depth, strategic impact, and cross-functional influence.

• 8+ years of experience with designing and implementing complex enterprise systems

• 3+ years of experience with AI, ML, automation, or intelligent workflow platforms

• Experience as a solution or enterprise architect in a matrixed organization, including with legacy systems and a variety of tools

• Experience as a hands-on engineer, writing code or implementing systems

• Experience with integrating 3rdparty platforms and APIs across systems with enterprise tools such as Databricks and AWS

• Experience with navigating complex stakeholder environments and working across technical organizations, operations, business units, and service delivery teams to drive outcomes

• Experience with data governance, big data platforms integration patterns, and platform scalability considerations in a large, federated enterprise

• Ability to reason through architectural trade-offs and technical limitations, translate technical concepts for senior stakeholders, and build alignment across business, technical, and operational teams

• Secret clearance

• Bachelor's degree

Nice If You Have:

• Experience with consolidating or rationalizing redundant tools or platforms to reduceoperational complexity

• Experience in high-visibility, cross-functional initiatives involving business transformation or digital modernization

• Experience with enterprise data platforms, AI and ML platform orchestration, or intelligent automation at scale
