About The Position

We have an opportunity for an Enterprise Architect to join our Enterprise Architecture & IT Strategy team in US Remote, reporting to the Senior Director. In this pivotal role, you own the end-to-end architecture for a set of business capabilities and help move Infoblox from emerging architecture practices to a unified, capability-centric operating model with strong governance, clear traceability, and measurable business outcomes. Collaborating closely with business, product, data, security, and engineering teams, you shape target-state architectures, guide complex solution designs across AI, integration, data, and infrastructure domains, and champion modern, reusable patterns that accelerate delivery while managing risk.
