The role translates business and customer-experience goals into target-state architectures, investment roadmaps, and practical design decisions aligned with enterprise standards. The architect designs cohesive solutions across digital experience and content, customer identity and profile, consent and preferences, campaign and journey orchestration, messaging channels, personalization, analytics, and measurement. The role emphasizes architecture strategy, end-to-end solution design that assure scalability, security, resiliency and durability. The ideal candidate has practical Amazon Web Services (AWS) architecture skills with experience applying cloud technology to marketing and communications use cases, like real-time customer signals, audience decisioning, recommendations or next-best actions, dynamic content, journey activation, and closed-loop measurement. What you will do: * Translate business outcomes into capability maps, current- and target-state architectures, transition states, and delivery increments. * Design end-to-end architectures spanning websites and mobile experiences, content management, CRM and campaign platforms, customer data and identity, consent and preferences, journey orchestration, messaging channels, personalization, analytics, and enterprise systems. * Establish clear domain, data, event, and API boundaries that support reusable customer profiles, segmentation, decisioning, activation, attribution, and measurement while protecting privacy and consent. * Create and maintain architecture artifacts such as capability maps, context and container diagrams, data flows, sequence diagrams, nonfunctional requirements, architecture decision records, and option assessments. * Ensure solutions address security, privacy, accessibility, observability, resiliency, disaster recovery, performance, and operational supportability. * Lead architecture from discovery through implementation by facilitating design reviews, resolving cross-team decisions, identifying architectural risks, and providing guardrails to delivery teams without becoming the day-to-day system operator. * Evaluate platforms, vendor capabilities, integration approaches, and buy-versus-build options, contribute to architecture governance, and mentor engineers and architects in sound design practices. ## Related Videos - [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) - [20 billion requests a week: Upgrading Twilio's API gateway at scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100234-20-billion-requests-a-week-upgrading-twilio-s-api-gateway-at-scale) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - CSS is DOOMed](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1838-wearedevelopers-live-css-is-doomed) - [Building Systems that Last](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1389-building-systems-that-last) - [Hate organising your photos?
