Role Overview
We need a proactive, hands-on Enterprise & DevOps Architect who will work across data & integration architecture, DevOps, and cloud strategy to drive modernization and scalability. Given our lean team structure, this role is a mix of strategic leadership and hands-on execution, working closely with engineering teams to implement best practices.
Our IT landscape consists of numerous legacy solutions, and while we are actively working on modernization, we lack overarching oversight and a clear architecture simplification approach. This role will play a pivotal role in defining and executing a unified architecture strategy to streamline and standardize our systems.
Key Responsibilities
Enterprise & Integration Architecture
- Develop and execute the data & integration architecture strategy, ensuring seamless connectivity across legacy and modern systems.
- Design scalable integration frameworks and API strategies to facilitate interoperability between our customer portals, and partner systems.
- Define enterprise-wide data governance, security, and standardization practices.
- Lead the transition from legacy integration patterns to a modern, event-driven architecture.
- DevOps & Cloud Strategy
- Establish DevOps best practices, including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code , and automation.
- Architect and implement containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) for scalable deployments.
- Define and drive observability, monitoring, and incident response strategies.
- Partner with engineering teams to optimize cloud infrastructure for performance, cost, and security.
- Implement DevSecOps principles to ensure security is embedded in development and deployment processes.
Execution & Collaboration
- Work closely with engineering (outsourced, insourced) teams (no separate architecture team) to ensure best practices are followed in a hands-on manner.
- Collaborate with business and IT stakeholders to align technical solutions with business objectives.
- Support vendor selection and management for critical technology implementations.
- Act as a technical leader and mentor to developers and engineers, fostering a high-performing team culture.
Required Skills & Experience
- 10+ years in enterprise, solution, or DevOps architecture roles.
- Strong expertise in integration architecture, APIs, event-driven architecture, and microservices.
- Proven track record in DevOps implementation, including CI/CD, automation, and cloud-native solutions.
- Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
- Deep knowledge of Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and cloud automation.
- Experience working in lean, high-performance teams with a hands-on approach.
- Ability to drive technical strategy while actively executing solutions.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to bridge technical and business teams.
