About the Role:

As a member of the Product and Engineering team at PitchBook, you will be part of a team of big thinkers, innovators, and problem solvers who strive to deepen the positive impact we have on our customers and our company every day. We value curiosity and the drive to find better ways of doing things. We thrive on customer empathy, which remains our focus when creating excellent customer experiences through product innovation.

We invest heavily in our people, who are eager to learn and constantly improve. Join our team and grow with us! 

As an Enterprise Architect within the PitchBook Engineering organization, you will be responsible for architecting the business workflows and integrations of different systems used across multiple enterprise business stream-aligned teams such as Sales, Finance, Marketing, Customer Success, Human Resources, and others. You will be essential in guiding other technical contributors to build exceptional enterprise solutions relied upon and used by hundreds of PitchBook internal users, delivering architecture that will drive PitchBook operational performance and efficiency. 

The team will rely on your broad and deep experience in establishing integrated workflows and comprehensive solutions involving 3rd party products and platforms such as Salesforce and Marketo. You will be operating within diverse business domains to shape principles and practices and capture just-in-time decisions based on trade-off analysis. With your strong analytical skills, you’ll be able to break down abstract and complex problems into smaller problems and apply Domain Driven Design approaches such as identifying bounded contexts and establishing a decomposition process. You will be expected to devise solutions based on limited information and precedent to find creative ways to tackle challenges. You must be able to interpret, assess, and resolve a wide range of issues and be able to select the right course of action. 

You will collaborate with external and internal stakeholders of diverse roles and backgrounds, who may have varying degrees of understanding of the domain. You may need to adapt your style of communication based on the audience you are interacting with and will be relied on to influence decisions to build optimal solutions to complex challenges. Additionally, as a technical expert in a broad set of domains, you will be expected to engage actively in promoting architecture guidelines, principles, and practices across our team(s), and be a driver for consistency and alignment for cross-cutting concerns using influence and effective communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
