Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 64 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Green-card follow-through: 81%

Of 58 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 11 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 511 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.

Files H-1B transfers

90 transfer filings in the last year, covering 414 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role

  • Director, DEX Technology Architecture is the architectural conscience of the Digital Employee Experience (DEX) organization.

Responsibilities

  • Prevent siloed or one-off technology decisions by acting as the connective layer between HR capability owners, program delivery leads, and enterprise IT/security.
  • Build Governance
  • Define and operationalize a repeatable, rigorous buy-vs-build decision framework, and act as the final architectural gate before new vendor engagements or build efforts are approved.
  • Build preference - default to building or configuring within existing platforms where feasible; shortcuts such as RPA are acceptable only when adopted intentionally, not as a substitute for a real fix.
  • Fix-before-build - confirm that existing capability has genuinely been exhausted or is structurally broken before approving net-new investment.
  • Own vendor and platform evaluation scorecards, and present buy-vs-build recommendations with clear tradeoffs to DEX and CTO leadership.

Requirements

  • Every interaction, every model, every system generates data that must be stored, managed, and made accessible over time.

Nice to have

  • Enterprise architecture framework experience (e.g., TOGAF or equivalent) and a track record of embedding architecture governance into Agile/SAFe delivery models.
  • Hands-on experience with major HR platforms such as Workday, HR service delivery platforms like ServiceNow), and workforce management/timekeeping systems.
  • Strong grounding in security and data governance - RBAC, encryption, PII protection, and regulatory frameworks such as SOX, GDPR, and CCPA.
  • Vendor management and RFP/negotiation experience, with a demonstrated bias toward frugal, durable technology decisions over point-solution sprawl.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field required
  • Master's degree preferred.
  • (2) skills, ability, knowledge of the job

Benefits
