About the role

We sit at the intersection of deep analytical rigor and pragmatic business execution-helping Fortune 1000 companies and Private Equity-backed businesses unlock transformational value through data, technology, and human expertise.
You define how solutioning is done-templates, ADR standards, threat modeling triggers, NFR profiles-and you mentor senior engineers and SAs.

Lead cross-stream technical program architecture: dependencies, contract milestones, cutover strategies.
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.
Blend360 is a premier data, AI, and marketing consulting firm that partners with the world's most ambitious organizations to turn complex challenges into competitive advantage.
Own architecture across multiple parallel workstreams (UI/API/data/integration/LLM), with explicit sequencing, risk burndown, and integration planning for Intelligent Applications.
You partner with leadership to translate tradeoffs into business outcomes (cost, risk, time-to-value, reliability, AI risk).

8+ years equivalent experience or demonstrated staff-level solution leadership.
Proven multi-team / multi-stream technical coordination with shipped outcomes.
ability to arbitrate contentious technical decisions-including LLM architecture controversy (RAG vs fine-tuning vs buy).

Success in first 90 days
Standards measurably reduce rework and integration defects.
Other architects/engineers measurably level up (reviews, fewer escalations).
It is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range and determining factors for compensation are considered for each individual circumstance.
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).
