Senior Solution Architect (Data/Integration)

DescriptionAre you a multi-faceted architect ready for your next challenge? Smart, pragmatic, and someone who actually gets things done? Tired of being stuck in a corporate rut? Do you like flexing across domains, being the “go-to” for both business and tech, and mentoring others along the way? Our mission is simple: help our clients get maximum value out of their technology investments. We assess enterprise architectures, design complex integrations, and provide architecture leadership for big, messy initiatives like mergers, modernizations, and cloud migrations. We don’t do software development or run infrastructure. We’re the trusted experts our clients lean on for the two questions that matter most: What should they do (enterprise architecture and planning), and How should they do it (solution architecture)?Most of the time you’re leading solution design on large, complex projects: architecting end-to-end solutions and working through integration patterns, data flows, modern data patterns, APIs, security, and the non-functional details that make or break a design. It’s a hands-on seat AND a strategy-deck seat. You sit within an enterprise solution architecture group, so you also provide oversight to a federated team of solution architects and review their designs and documents for process and strategy compliance, keeping the work aligned without becoming a bottleneck. But the center of gravity is you in the thick of it, owning the toughest solution designs yourself and stepping in when a domain needs reinforcement, a decision is stuck, or a design needs a second set of expert eyes.RequirementsWhat we’re really after: You’re a seasoned solution architect who has worked within large, complex organizations and is technically current enough to design real solutions, not just hand down principles. You adeptly navigate organization politics and facilitate fact-based desicisons.Concretely, that looks like: Personally designing end-to-end solutions: integration patterns, data flows, APIs, security, and the non-functional stuff that makes or breaks a design.Establishing, but also carrying enterprise standards and strategies into the projects you work on, and keeping designs aligned with them, without needing to own or police the governance machinery. Ramping up quickly on new business capabilities and processes, quickly filling gaps in your knowledge so you can partnering with those business users and design solutions that fit how they actually operate. Real breadth across application, data, and integration architecture, with genuine depth in data and modern data patterns, comfortable working across cloud and on-prem environments, and the judgment to evaluate vendors and platforms on the merits.Translating fluently between the executive/business view and engineering reality, and defending a recommendation with facts and trade-offs in a room with either audience.Financial services or other regulated-industry experience is a strong plus.Bonus points (helpful for what’s on our plate right now, but not required):Experience in Insurance and the complex finance processes/data behind acturial modeling and management/external financial reporting.Building an cloud-based enterprise analytical data repository or single source of truth for finance: layered/medallion architecture, data lineage, reconciliation across upstream sources.Modern cloud data platforms, AWS especially.Data governance execution done right: source-to-target mapping, master/reference data, lineage, and data quality controls in a regulated environment.A knack for partnering with finance and actuarial folks to build self-service capabilities they’ll actually use instead of working around in Excel. Something with AI. Anything with AI. Useful AI, not “everything is better” or “the world is going to end” AI, but something in the middle.Non-starters:At this time we don’t sponsor immigration applications (H-1B, etc.) and are only interested in direct candidates (no agencies). Background check is required.BenefitsThe comp for this role ranges (based on skills and experience) from $125K - $185K.
