Responsibilities
- Architectural engagement: own the architecture narrative with client executives and enterprise/community architects-alignment meetings, steering forums, architecture reviews-translating technical choices into business outcomes and delivery commitments.
- SDLC integration: thread architecture through the engagement lifecycle-baseline/design increments, interface contracts, non-functional profiles (SLO/capacity/security/data classifications), environment strategy, integration sequencing, release/readiness checkpoints; align with client Agile/DevOps or waterfall hybrids without diluting architectural integrity.
- Delivery partnership: joint sequencing with engineering leads-dependency maps, technical spikes, migration/cutover strategies, feature-flag and rollback thinking-so architecture choices remain implementable and verifiable.
- Expectations and Scope: crisp scope boundaries for architecture work products; timely signals on change drivers (discovery surprises, dependency drift); support SOW/pursuit shaping when staffed on pursuits.
- Lead solution architecture on consulting engagements for Intelligent Applications:
- shape discovery (hypotheses, current-state, constraints, options), drive architectural engagement across client stakeholders and supplier ecosystems, embed architecture in SDLC cadence (milestones, environments, release/architecture checkpoints), and oversee delivery operations implications-observability acceptance, hypercare criteria, knowledge transfer, and steady-state architectural guardrails.
- Partner **FDE** leads so decisions ship.
Requirements
- 15+ years equivalent with repeated success leading architecture on enterprise consulting or embedded transformation programs-evidence across discovery → delivery → operate.
Nice to have
- Engagements bridging applications with Databricks/Snowflake-centric analytics-contracts, lineage, identity, cost/performance classes.
- 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.
- Industry exposure where regulated AI or legacy estates complicate IA delivery.
- Strong partnership record with engineering directors on forward-deployed programs.
- Nice to have: Engagements bridging applications with Databricks/Snowflake-centric analytics-contracts, lineage, identity, cost/performance classes.
