Job Summary

The Enterprise Architect is a hands-on technology leader who actively shapes the organization’s technology landscape through portfolio analysis, lifecycle planning, architecture governance, technology roadmaps, standards, and strategic decision-making.

This role works directly with business and technology teams to understand the application and technology portfolio, perform rationalization, identify modernization opportunities, guide lifecycle and investment decisions, and align technology principles and standards with business strategy.

While the role operates across the broader technology landscape, particular emphasis is placed on application and software architecture, application modernization, and emerging AI capabilities. The Enterprise Architect is expected to bring deep expertise in one or more of these areas while collaborating with Domain, Platform, Solution, and Technical Architects across infrastructure, cloud, data, integration, and cybersecurity to drive enterprise-level decisions and actionable outcomes.

This position is required to report to the Austin, TX or Somerset NJ office location on a hybrid basis.

Role Description

  • Contribute to current-state, target-state, and transition architectures, working across business and technology teams to establish actionable enterprise direction.
  • Participate in the development of enterprise and technology roadmaps, identifying modernization priorities, dependencies, sequencing, and investment needs.
  • Perform and lead application and technology rationalization activities, evaluating business capability alignment, technical health, cost, risk, duplication, and strategic fit.
  • Lead and participate in Architecture Review Boards (ARBs) and architecture reviews, facilitating decisions, documenting outcomes, managing exceptions, and driving issues to resolution.
  • Develop and contribute to architecture principles, standards, reference architectures, patterns, and guardrails for practical use by architecture and delivery teams.
  • Partner with Domain and Platform Architects to connect domain and platform strategies, standards, roadmaps, and lifecycle decisions to broader enterprise priorities and identify cross-domain dependencies, gaps, and opportunities.
  • Participate in strategic technology and vendor evaluations, including build, buy, reuse, modernize, consolidate, and retire decisions.
  • Partner with business and technology teams to translate strategic priorities into actionable architecture deliverables and technology initiatives.
  • Collaborate with Solution Architects, Technical Architects, engineering, infrastructure, security, data, and AI teams to resolve cross-domain architecture challenges and move decisions into execution.
  • Create and maintain actionable architecture artifacts and portfolio information, including assessments, roadmaps, standards, technology lifecycle positions, and architecture decisions.
  • Evaluate emerging technologies and industry trends and translate relevant findings into practical architecture guidance and actions.
