Requirements

• 15 plus; years in architecture roles (enterprise, solution, platform), with demonstrated impact delivering large-scale, distributed systems in regulated environments.

• Proven experience making architecture executable: IaC (e.g., Terraform), policy-as-code (e.g., OPA), CI/CD (e.g., GitHub Actions/Jenkins/Azure DevOps), automated quality/security gates, and reference implementations.
• Strong fluency across SDLC and agile delivery: product thinking, backlog grooming, sprint ceremonies, and hands-on partnership with engineering to translate architecture into working code.
• Practical governance experience: designing risk-aware, lightweight processes; implementing controls without impeding velocity; and fostering measurable compliance through automation.
• Exposure to AI/ML in engineering workflows: understanding of GenAI-assisted design, coding assistants, architectural validation, and responsible AI considerations (model risk, data protection, auditability).
• Excellent communication and influence: able to translate complex concepts for diverse audiences, build consensus, and drive adoption across platforms and practices.
