Enterprise Architect

The Enterprise Architect defines and guides the technology architecture across the company + Cozeva, translating business priorities into standards, designs, and roadmaps that support secure, reliable, and cost-effective operations. The role connects cloud, infrastructure, networking, security, and emerging technologies into a coherent enterprise architecture.

This is a hands-on architecture leadership role requiring technical depth, independent judgment, and the ability to influence execution across teams. The Enterprise Architect advises leaders on technology investments and tradeoffs, guides modernization, and partners with Engineering, Infrastructure, Security, and business owners to turn architectural decisions into implemented solutions.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Enterprise Architecture and Strategy: Define current and target architectures, reference designs, and modernization roadmaps aligned with business priorities. Assess dependencies, technical debt, risk, and cost to sequence investments and recommend practical paths forward.

• Architecture Governance and Delivery: Lead architecture reviews for major initiatives. Maintain standards, decision records, and documented exceptions with accountable owners. Resolve design tradeoffs, escalate material risks, and guide delivery teams through implementation and validation.

• Cloud and Infrastructure Architecture: Design Azure, AWS, and hybrid architectures, including landing zones, migrations, identity, connectivity, and cloud operating models. Establish patterns for availability, backup, recovery, and observability. Partner with operational owners to evaluate capacity, service performance, and cloud costs.

• Network Design and Automation: Define infrastructure and network designs across virtualization, storage, containers, WAN, LAN, SD-WAN, and cloud connectivity. Guide segmentation, routing, firewall, and remote access designs. Advance reusable infrastructure-as-code patterns and automation to improve consistency and reduce manual work.

• Security and Resilience: Partner with Security to incorporate Zero Trust, identity, privileged access, encryption, and threat modeling into designs. Translate applicable HIPAA obligations, HITRUST r2 requirements, SOC 2 Type II control needs, and NIST principles into architecture requirements. Address design risks and support validation of recovery and resilience capabilities.

• AI and Emerging Technologies: Shape the technical architecture and adoption roadmap for AI with business and technology leaders. Evaluate use cases, platforms, models, agents, and integrations against business value, data needs, security, cost, and supportability. Partner with Security and Compliance on governance and safeguards, and guide approved solutions from evaluation through implementation.

• Technical Leadership and Business Partnership: Present recommendations and tradeoffs to executive and board-level stakeholders as needed. Evaluate vendors and technology investments, mentor technical teams, and build agreement on standards and priorities across functions.
