Enterprise Technical Architect

Anywhere in the United States

The Enterprise Technical Architect is a senior-level expert who serves as an escalation point for complex technical issues and plays a critical role in ensuring customer satisfaction, stability, and product success. This role plays a key part in re-architecting and redesigning existing technical solutions to improve performance, maintainability, and long-term sustainability. This role is focused on identifying patterns of complexity or fragility in deployed systems and leading efforts to refactor or restructure them to better align with evolving business needs, platform capabilities, and architectural standards. Through deep product expertise, strategic thinking, and cross-functional collaboration, the Enterprise Architect drives modernization of legacy or suboptimal implementations, to drive high-quality support outcomes and ensure customers are positioned for scaled success.  

Given the strategic nature of the accounts supported, this role requires a modified workweek of Tuesday through Saturday, including Friday evening queue monitoring to ensure responsive support coverage. Flexibility to provide occasional weekend support during critical production events and high-visibility go-lives is also expected.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
