Job Summary

Key Deliverables and Responsibilities

Cambridge’s Enterprise Platform, Architecture & Data organization owns the foundations the rest of the firm builds on: cloud and infrastructure platforms, integration and API layers, enterprise data, and the architecture standards that connect them. In a FINRA- and SEC-regulated environment, security, resilience, data governance, and auditability are design requirements from day one.

The Enterprise Architect sets the target-state architecture for Cambridge’s technology estate and ensures major platform, data, and application decisions move the firm toward it. This senior individual-contributor role blends strategy, hands-on design authority, and trusted partnership with business leaders across the organization.

Architecture Strategy and Roadmap

  • Define and maintain enterprise target-state architecture across business, application, data, integration, and technology domains.
  • Translate business strategy, including Financial Professional experience, client onboarding, trading, operations, and compliance, into multi-year capability and technology roadmaps.
  • Lead application portfolio rationalization by identifying redundancy, technical debt, and end-of-life risk and building the case for consolidation or modernization.
  • Evaluate build, buy, and partner options, including third-party platforms, custodial integrations, and fintech vendors.

Design Authority and Governance

  • Chair or lead the Architecture Review Board and establish standards, reference architectures, and patterns for delivery teams.
  • Maintain Architecture Decision Records so major decisions are traceable and auditable.
  • Review high-impact solution designs for alignment with standards, security, resilience, cost, and regulatory requirements.
  • Create paved roads and guardrails that balance governance with delivery speed.

Platform, Cloud, Integration, Data, and AI

  • Shape cloud and hybrid infrastructure strategy with Platform Engineering, including landing zones, identity, networking, and observability.
  • Drive an API-first and event-driven integration strategy that reduces point-to-point coupling between core systems.
  • Guide modernization of legacy applications through re-platforming, re-architecture, or retirement with clear sequencing and risk management.
  • Partner on data platforms, master and reference data, lineage, data products, and embedded governance, classification, retention, and privacy controls.
  • Define reference architectures and guardrails for responsible AI and generative AI, including model access, data boundaries, and human review.

Security, Resilience, and Leadership

  • Embed security-by-design, zero-trust, business continuity, disaster recovery, and operational resilience into reference architectures.
  • Partner with Compliance, Risk, and Internal Audit so recordkeeping, supervision, surveillance, and third-party risk requirements are reflected in system designs.
  • Mentor architects and senior engineers, communicate technical trade-offs clearly, and represent architecture in vendor negotiations, due diligence, and strategic planning.

What We Are Looking For

  • 10+ years of experience in technology, including 5+ years in enterprise or senior solution architecture roles.
  • Proven success defining and executing target-state architecture and multi-year roadmaps at enterprise scale.
  • Deep hands-on experience with at least one major public cloud. Azure experience is preferred, along with experience in hybrid environments.
  • Strong command of integration architecture, including APIs, event streaming, messaging, identity management, and legacy system integration.
  • Solid grounding in modern enterprise architecture, security architecture, identity and access management, and resilience and disaster recovery design.
  • Experience leading architecture governance, including review boards, standards, and Architecture Decision Records that teams adopt.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to brief executives and challenge engineers with equal credibility.
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information systems, engineering, or equivalent experience.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Financial services experience, ideally in broker-dealer, registered investment adviser, wealth management, or custody environments.
  • Familiarity with wealth-management technology such as Salesforce, portfolio management and rebalancing, trading and order management, account opening, and clearing or custodial integrations.
  • Exposure to books-and-records retention, supervision, surveillance, and vendor risk management requirements.
  • Experience designing AI, machine learning, and generative AI platforms and guardrails in a regulated setting.
  • Practical fluency with TOGAF, Zachman, or a similar architecture framework.
  • Relevant certifications such as TOGAF, professional-level cloud architect credentials, or CISSP.
  • Experience leading large-scale modernization, merger and acquisition technology integration, or platform consolidation.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
