Enterprise Architect  

The Enterprise Architect is responsible for defining, governing, and evolving the enterprise architecture blueprint to ensure alignment between business strategy and technology execution. The role establishes architecture principles, standards, and guardrails that enable scalable, secure, cost-effective, and high-performing technology solutions across the organization. The Enterprise Architect works closely with business leaders, solution architects, and delivery teams to shape target-state architectures, guide modernization initiatives, and ensure architectural consistency across platforms, applications, data, and integration domains.

• Define, maintain, and govern enterprise architecture principles, standards, and guardrails across business, application, data, integration, and technology domains.
• Participate in or support Architecture Review Boards and architecture governance forums to ensure solution conformance across delivery lifecycles.
• Establish architecture assurance checkpoints across concept, high-level design, and low-level design stages to proactively identify risks and gaps.
• Develop and maintain core architecture artifacts such as reference architectures, standards, patterns, architectural decision records, and solution designs.
• Define current-state and target-state architectures aligned to business priorities and long-term technology strategy.
• Conduct gap analysis and support the development of multi-year architecture roadmaps and migration plans.
• Define and promote reference architectures and reusable patterns for cloud-native, API-first, event-driven, and data-centric solutions.
• Support the definition of architecture-related success metrics such as platform reuse, delivery efficiency, reliability, and cost optimization.

Enterprise Architecture and Governance

• Enterprise and solution architecture modeling, governance, and assurance across business, application, data, integration, and technology domains
• Architecture frameworks and notations including TOGAF, ArchiMate, UML, BPMN, and the C4 Model
• Architecture alignment with business strategy, digital transformation initiatives, and enterprise modernization programs
• Security, privacy, and compliance architecture, including Zero Trust principles, OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and regulatory frameworks such as GDPR, ISO 27001, and NIST
  
  Architecture Design and Engineering Practices
• Cloud and cloud-native architecture design, including microservices, containers, serverless architectures, and Twelve-Factor App principles
• API-first and integration-led design, including REST, gRPC, GraphQL, API versioning, and contract testing
• Event-driven and distributed system architectures, including pub/sub, CQRS, Event Sourcing, and Saga orchestration
