This role is responsible for defining the overall architecture of HealthPartners' applications across web platforms, administrative systems, infrastructure, and data environments. The Enterprise Architect ensures that application development and enhancements align with HealthPartners' strategic goals and integrate smoothly within the broader technical landscape. This role partners closely with IT leadership, the Enterprise Architecture team, and business leaders to define and advance application architecture standards, policies, and long-term technology strategy. The architect works most directly with internal data operations/platform teams, serving as a primary thought partner on data and analytics architecture, while also collaborating with internal digital/application development teams. This is a replacement position following the departure of a long-tenured employee. The role reports to the Director of IT Enterprise Architecture and is part of a collaborative team of five professionals, including four full-time employees and one contractor., * Develop, maintain, and communicate enterprise architecture artifacts including reference architectures, technology roadmaps, and landscape inventories. * Apply software engineering experience to guide application architecture decisions - including system decomposition, service design, API contracts, data modeling, and software design patterns. * Review and influence code-level architectural decisions: framework selection, dependency management, build pipelines, automated testing strategies, and deployment patterns. * Evaluate software development practices across teams - advocating for clean architecture, testability, observability, and maintainability as first-class architectural concerns. * Provide architectural guidance for enterprise data platforms - including data warehouses, data lakes, and lakehouse architectures - ensuring they are designed for scalability, data quality, and governed access. * Define standards and patterns for data ingestion, transformation, and orchestration pipelines (ETL/ELT) across batch and streaming workloads. * Champion DataOps practices - version-controlled pipeline development, automated data quality testing, observability and monitoring of data flows, and CI/CD for data assets. * Advise on semantic layer design, data modeling approaches (dimensional, Data Vault, OBT), and the appropriate use of data products for self-service analytics consumption. * Identify architectural risks, technical debt, and opportunities for rationalization across the enterprise portfolio. * Lead business capability and requirements discovery sessions - translating business needs, workflows, and outcomes into architectural direction and technology requirements. * Validate throughout delivery that what is being designed and built accurately reflects what the business asked for - identifying drift between business intent and technical implementation early and escalating when necessary. * Participate in business planning cycles, initiative discovery, and roadmap development - ensuring architecture input is present at the point where business decisions are made, not after. * Performs other work as assigned. ## Related Videos - [Blueprints for Success: Steering a Global Data & AI Architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1577-blueprints-for-success-steering-a-global-data-ai-architecture) - [ Evaluating AI models for code comprehension](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1462-evaluating-ai-models-for-code-comprehension) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Next Level Enterprise Architecture: Modular, Flexible, Scalable, Multichannel and AI-Ready?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1017-next-level-enterprise-architecture-modular-flexible-scalable-multichannel-and-ai-ready) - [Speak, Code, Deploy: Transforming Developer Experience with Voice Commands](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1159-speak-code-deploy-transforming-developer-experience-with-voice-commands) ## Related Articles - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [7 Important Tips That Every Software Developer Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/101-7-important-tips-that-every-software-developer-should-know)
