TL;DR · Staff Enterprise Architect

As a Staff Enterprise Architect, you will join the Enterprise Architecture team to design and evolve how internal systems are configured, integrated, and scaled. You will apply business, application, data, and technology lenses to solve complex technical problems while treating AI as a core consideration across all workstreams. Your daily responsibilities include mapping end-to-end processes, designing high-level patterns for platforms like Salesforce, NetSuite, Zuora, Zendesk, and Workato, and establishing data contracts that meet SOX and security requirements. You will build technical roadmaps, create detailed design documents, and manage technical debt while collaborating with engineering, security, and infrastructure teams. The role requires expertise in integration architecture, API design, ELT/ETL pipelines, and advanced AI capabilities such as retrieval-augmented generation and agent orchestration to ensure the internal technology landscape remains scalable, secure, and efficient for the growing business.

What you'll do

  • Design and evolve internal system configurations to ensure scalability and performance for growing business needs.
  • Map current-state processes and identify opportunities to replace manual handoffs with AI agents or automated workflows.
  • Create high-level designs and patterns for core platforms including Salesforce, NetSuite, Zuora, and Zendesk.
  • Architect data flows across operational and analytical planes while ensuring compliance with privacy and SOX requirements.
  • Define integration patterns for iPaaS, identity management, and cloud services to support AI agent capabilities.
  • Conduct quarterly health checks on core systems to monitor API limits, license consumption, and technical debt.
  • Produce detailed technical specifications including data models, error handling, and AI evaluation metrics for engineering teams.
  • Resolve complex technical problems and root-cause production defects that impact the enterprise architecture.

What we're looking for

  • Deep expertise in application and data architecture with fluency in business process and technology architecture.
  • Strong hands-on background in integration, automation, and applied AI including RAG, tool calling, and agent orchestration.
  • Experience architecting core business systems such as ERP, CRM, CPQ, billing, financial, and customer service platforms.
  • Expert-level knowledge of data modeling, integration architecture patterns, and API design for enterprise systems.
  • Practical experience with data warehouse technologies and ELT, ETL, and reverse ETL pipelines.
  • Proficiency in iPaaS tooling and managing the operational realities of production integrations including cost and consumption optimization.
  • Proven ability to drive architectural change through influence and communicate technical trade-offs in plain business language.
  • Ability to ensure all designs meet SOX, internal control, and security requirements.
