Senior Architect

• Drive architectural direction across multiple agile teams and solution areas, ensuring consistency and alignment with enterprise standards.
• Partner with engineering leaders, product owners, and delivery leads to align architecture with roadmap priorities and incremental delivery goals.
• Provide architectural clarity across parallel initiatives, helping teams navigate trade-offs, dependencies, and technical risk.
• Ensure architectural decisions are outcome-driven, enabling faster delivery while protecting long-term platform health.

• Serve as an active leader within the Architecture Review Board (ARB), shaping architectural standards, guardrails, and reference architectures.
• Guide teams through ARB reviews, helping them successfully design solutions that meet security, compliance, and scalability expectations.
• Establish and maintain architectural decision records (ADRs) to promote transparency, traceability, and audit readiness.
• Balance governance with enablement—ensuring ARB processes accelerate delivery rather than impede it.

• Champion security-by-design and privacy-by-design practices across all application and integration architectures.
• Partner closely with information security and risk teams to align solutions with threat modeling, identity, and data protection standards.
• Ensure architectures support regulatory and audit requirements, including multi-state insurance compliance, data retention, and traceability.
• Embed security considerations early in design to reduce downstream risk and rework.

• Collaborate with engineering teams to translate business and regulatory needs into well-architected, ARB-approved solutions.
• Provide hands-on architectural guidance during design and implementation of critical platforms, services, and integrations.
• Work alongside DevOps and platform teams to ensure solutions are operationally sound, observable, and resilient.
• Support modernization efforts while pragmatically guiding teams through legacy and hybrid system constraints.

• Define architectural patterns for Azure-based platforms, including APIs, event-driven systems, messaging, and data services.
• Promote reusable integration and service patterns that improve scalability, reliability, and time-to-market.
• Ensure solutions meet non-functional requirements such as availability, disaster recovery, performance, and cost efficiency.

• Evaluate emerging technologies and architectural approaches, providing recommendations grounded in business value and risk.
• Mentor senior engineers and technical leads, strengthening architectural thinking and security awareness across teams.
• Contribute to the evolution of architectural governance, standards, and delivery practices as the organization matures.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.
• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, including 5+ years in senior technical or architectural roles.
• Experience operating within formal architecture governance or review processes.
• Strong background in distributed, service-oriented, or event-driven architectures.
• Hands-on experience with modern cloud platforms (preferably Microsoft Azure).
• Solid understanding of secure application design in regulated enterprise environments.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
