  • Perform design reviews, proof-of-concepts, and feasibility assessments; troubleshoot critical issues in production
• Continuous Improvement
  • Capture lessons learned and drive a culture of “Own It” and “Stay Curious” by proposing platform enhancements, reusable frameworks, and automation
  • Mentor junior architects and engineers; share knowledge through brown-bags and design guilds

To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following: 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field
• 7-10 years of IT experience, with at least 3 years in a solution- or enterprise-architecture role
• Deep understanding of cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), microservices, API management, and integration technologies
• Proven track record designing large-scale, multi-tiered applications in financial services or similarly regulated industries
