Director Enterprise Architect
About The Position
The Director Enterprise Architect will own end-to-end architecture for the Aperture platform, Anovo's core data and reporting environment supporting specialty pharmacy operations. This role sets technical direction and standards across the full stack — application, data, infrastructure, and security — and acts as the primary architectural authority for how Aperture is built, deployed, and scaled. This is a hands-on architecture leadership role: the Enterprise Architect will design and govern solutions across a modern cloud-native stack (AWS, Kubernetes/EKS, GitOps via Argo CD), a .NET/React application layer, and a PostgreSQL data tier, while partnering closely with engineering, data analytics, and IT leadership to ensure Aperture scales reliably to meet growing business and compliance demands.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
- 10+ years in software/enterprise architecture roles, including experience owning architecture for a production platform end-to-end
- Proven experience architecting cloud-native applications on AWS at production scale
- Track record of setting technical direction across full-stack teams (application, data, and infrastructure)
- Experience in a regulated industry (healthcare, pharmacy, or similarly compliance-driven environment) preferred
- AWS (deep hands-on experience across core services)
- AWS EKS and Kubernetes cluster architecture and operations
- Argo CD and GitOps deployment models
- Bitbucket for source control, branching strategy, and pipelines
- Core .NET (C#) for backend services
- React for front-end architecture
- PostgreSQL — schema design, performance tuning, and data architecture at scale
- Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) for identity, authentication, and access architecture
- Strong understanding of microservices, API design, containerization, and distributed systems patterns
- Familiarity with infrastructure as code and observability/monitoring practices in a Kubernetes environment
Nice To Haves
- Experience architecting platforms in specialty pharmacy, healthcare, or life sciences, with familiarity with HIPAA and related compliance requirements
- Experience standing up or scaling an enterprise architecture function within a mid-size IT organization
- Relevant certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional, Certified Kubernetes Administrator/CKA, TOGAF)
- Experience with data platforms supporting reporting and analytics workloads
- Prior experience presenting architecture strategy to senior IT and business leadership
Responsibilities
- Own the overall architecture and technical roadmap for the Aperture platform, from application design through infrastructure and deployment
- Define and enforce architecture standards, design patterns, and coding practices across the .NET/React application stack
- Design and evolve the data architecture on PostgreSQL, including schema strategy, performance, and data integrity
- Architect and govern the AWS cloud environment, including EKS/Kubernetes cluster design, networking, scaling, and cost management
- Own the GitOps deployment model using Argo CD, ensuring reliable, auditable, and repeatable releases
- Establish branching, code review, and CI/CD standards within Bitbucket to support consistent, high-quality delivery
- Design and maintain identity and access architecture using Microsoft Entra, ensuring secure authentication and authorization across the platform
- Partner with engineering, product, and data analytics teams to translate business requirements into scalable technical designs
- Evaluate new technologies and architectural patterns, making build-vs-buy and platform evolution recommendations
- Lead architecture reviews, document key decisions (ADRs), and mentor engineers on architectural best practices
- Ensure the platform meets security, compliance, and reliability requirements appropriate to a specialty pharmacy handling sensitive healthcare data
- Own capacity planning, performance, and disaster recovery strategy for the platform
- Partner with our current systems integrator (SI) partner to validate and align architecture direction
- Regular and reliable attendance is expected.
- Other work-related duties as assigned by supervisor/manager.
