About The Position

Red Cedar TG is seeking a dynamic, proactive, and self-starting Information Systems Architect to join our team. The salary range for this position is $60,000-$85,000 annually and is dependent on geographical location, qualifications, and experience. We're looking for a Information Systems Architect who can see the big picture of our technology landscape and turn that vision into reality. In this role, you'll shape how our application systems and IT infrastructure are designed, built, and evolved — serving as the architectural backbone for everything from new development efforts to long-term system enhancements. You'll partner closely with users and business stakeholders to truly understand what they need, then translate those requirements into high-quality technical solutions that actually deliver. This isn't a role where you work in isolation — you'll collaborate hand-in-hand with our developers and engineers, helping build application roadmaps, aligning development plans, and making sure every piece of our information systems and infrastructure fits together seamlessly. Technology doesn't stand still, and neither will you. You'll keep a close eye on emerging trends and technological advancements, using that knowledge to continuously improve our solutions and keep them aligned with both industry best practices and where our business is headed. Because our systems, applications, and services are deeply interconnected, you'll need a sharp understanding of how changes ripple across the environment — evaluating the impact of any change or addition before it happens, not after. You'll also be hands-on when it comes to quality: analyzing systems, running usability testing, and validating performance and reliability. Whether it's improving scalability or strengthening security, you'll make sure our architecture doesn't just work today, but is built to grow and hold up under real-world demands. If you enjoy connecting the dots between technology and business strategy, thrive on solving complex integration challenges, and want your work to directly shape the future of our IT ecosystem, we'd love to hear from you.
