Job Description
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 Enablement team 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.
