Solutions Architect – III

• Define end-to-end technical architecture for custom and configured applications, aligning solutions to business needs and enterprise standards
• Evaluate build-vs-buy decisions and govern implementation quality across the solution development team
• Own architecture standards and participate in Architecture Review Board (ARB) governance
• Work with leadership and subject matter experts to build a holistic view of organizational strategy, processes, information, and IT assets
• Ensure alignment between the enterprise and its IT investments across Power Platform, custom scripting, and data pipeline/schema design
• Guide responsible use of AI-assisted coding tools and oversee architecture for custom LLMs, business-facing agents/GPTs, and agentic workflows
• Translate business narratives into technical models and documented architectural views
• Enforce secure coding and secrets management standards across the development team
• Ensure adherence to SDLC controls in regulated GxP environments, including requirements traceability, testing evidence, and release documentation
• Mentor and provide technical direction to solution developers and engineers
• Resolve architectural and design issues across custom development, low-code platforms, data pipelines, and AI-enabled solutions

• Bachelor's degree (B.S./B.A.) from a four-year college or university and 7 to 15+ years of related experience, or equivalent combination of education and experience
• Demonstrated experience architecting solutions on the Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Dataverse) alongside custom development (Python, SQL, APIs)
