Responsibilities

  • Lead cross-stream technical program architecture: dependencies, contract milestones, cutover strategies.
  • Define reference architectures and golden paths for recurring engagement patterns.
  • Establish architecture governance: review criteria, exceptions process, "must-haves" for production readiness.
  • Drive data architecture at portfolio level: canonical patterns, shared entities, contract stability, performance SLOs for critical paths.
  • Own security architecture posture for portfolio: zero-trust patterns, data classification workflows, vendor risk framing.
  • Operationalize LLM / agent solution patterns with enterprise controls: evaluation, PII boundaries, human oversight, cost/latency budgets, red-team expectations.
  • Required qualifications
  • 8+ years equivalent experience or demonstrated staff-level solution leadership.
  • Proven multi-team / multi-stream technical coordination with shipped outcomes.
  • Excellence in integration + data + web-scale patterns; ability to arbitrate contentious technical decisions-including LLM architecture controversy (RAG vs fine-tuning vs buy).
  • Executive-facing communication: crisp options, costs, risks, and recommendations.

Requirements

  • High-trust client environments and transformation programs.
  • LLM/agent delivery guardrails adopted across teams (templates, eval suites, monitoring minimums).
  • Experience quantifying architecture decisions (TCO/ROI ranges, risk reduction).
  • Nice to have: Databricks + Snowflake reference trajectories for hybrid lakehouse/warehouse estates common in enterprise analytics modernization.
  • Success in first 90 days
  • Standards measurably reduce rework and integration defects.
  • Multi-stream program delivers with clearer interfaces and fewer late surprises.
  • Other architects/engineers measurably level up (reviews, fewer escalations).

You partner with leadership to translate tradeoffs into business outcomes (cost, risk, time-to-value, reliability, AI risk).
