Job Description

The Enterprise Solutions Architect is a senior technical leader within the Department of Technology (DT), reporting to the Director of Enterprise Applications. This role is responsible for defining, governing, and advancing the City’s application and integration architecture. The Architect ensures that technology solutions are secure, scalable, cost-effective, and aligned with Citywide business objectives and compliance requirements.

Balancing strategic vision with hands-on technical execution, the Enterprise Solutions Architect establishes architectural standards, designs enterprise-grade solutions, and contributes to development activities when needed. The ideal candidate has deep full-stack engineering experience—from modern UI frameworks through backend services, data design, and DevOps automation—and actively promotes the responsible adoption of AI-assisted development tools to improve quality, security, and operational efficiency.

The Enterprise Solutions Architect serves as the principal authority on application architecture within the DT’s Enterprise Applications division. While primarily focused on setting strategic direction and architectural standards, this role maintains a hands-on approach—leading by example through prototyping, designing, and mentoring development/product teams.

This position requires deep technical knowledge across the full development stack, including front-end frameworks, server-side logic, database optimization, and cloud-based DevOps practices. The Architect also plays a critical role in promoting responsible AI adoption by integrating AI-powered tools and establishing standards for their ethical use.

Essential duties include, but are not limited to, the following:
