As an Enterprise Architect for Builder Enablement, your role is to bring clarity and coherence to a complex, evolving technology ecosystem.
You will be a founding member of the Builder Enablementteam at the intersection of architecture, engineering, and enablement - developing and maintaining a shared view of enterprise infrastructure, services, and patterns—mapping how they fit together today and where they’re going. You’ll work across teams to crystallize architectural principles, surface gaps and overlaps, and help the organization understand its technology as a cohesive system.
You’ll align and influence—partnering with service owners and engineering teams to build shared understanding of how systems interoperate and evolve. Your goal is to help local decisions support a broader, intentional architecture, without slowing teams down.
You’ll also help identify where new patterns, abstractions, or shared capabilities are needed, creating the foundation for Builder Enablement engineers to turn those ideas into practical, adoptable solutions.
Part cartographer, part city planner—you create the map, highlight the terrain, and help the organization move in the same direction.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain a clear, evolving view of enterprise infrastructure, services, and architectural patterns, helping teams understand how systems fit together today and where they are heading.
- Crystallize and communicate architectural principles that reflect how the organization builds and operates systems—grounded in real-world practices across teams rather than top-down mandates.
- Identify gaps, overlaps, and friction points across the technology landscape, and work with service owners and engineering teams to align opportunities for simplification, consolidation, or new shared capabilities.
- Partner with platform, infrastructure, and product engineering teams to build shared understanding of how systems interoperate, helping teams make informed design decisions that support a broader, cohesive architecture.
- Translate complex systems into accessible artifacts—diagrams, reference architectures, written guidance, and lightweight standards—that help engineers quickly understand the landscape and make effective choices.
- Act as a connector across teams, facilitating conversations that lead to alignment without requiring formal authority; build consensus around direction, tradeoffs, and priorities.
- Help identify high-value areas for Builder Enablement investment, creating the foundation for engineers to develop paved paths such as templates, tooling, and reusable components.
- Engage with engineering efforts at key moments (e.g., early design, major changes) to provide architectural guidance and ask thoughtful questions, balancing short-term needs with long-term system health.
- Evangelize a systems mindset, helping engineers and teams think beyond individual services to how their work contributes to a larger platform.
- Mentor engineers and architects across the organization, helping them develop stronger architectural thinking, navigate ambiguity, and make better tradeoffs.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 10+ years of relevant experience
- Experience designing and evolving distributed systems and/or enterprise platforms, with an understanding of how services, infrastructure, and data systems interact at scale
