System Architect

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Colorado.

📋 Description

• In the role of System Architect, you will take charge of designing and implementing comprehensive architectural frameworks that are in line with our business objectives.

• You will collaborate closely with business owners and Release Train Engineers (RTEs), ensuring a clear traceability from strategy to capabilities and portfolio items, while providing data-driven insights to align delivery with business outcomes. Your technology solutions will be scalable, efficient, and adaptable to the changing demands of our organization.

• Collaborate with business owners and RTEs to establish scope, success metrics, milestones, risks, and transition-to-run processes; ensure traceability from strategy to capabilities and portfolio items using Jira/Jira Align.

• Conduct impact and risk analysis: maintain an up-to-date repository for dependencies, lifecycle, cost drivers, regulatory concerns, and blast radius; present options and trade-offs while identifying early signals of dependency and impact ahead of PI Planning.

• Provide data-driven, AI-aware guidance: advocate for telemetry, data governance, and practical AI practices where they add value; consistently promote evidence-based decision-making across product lines.

• Standards and enablement: curate reference capabilities, information, and integration principles; mentor solution/software architects to align with strategic direction and enhance reuse.

• Value and visibility: assist in defining and regularly reporting outcome measures (e.g., lead time, reliability/SLOs, risk mitigation, cost avoidance, adoption) to ensure clear visibility for executives.

⛳️ Requirements

• Expertise in system architecture with an emphasis on capability mapping, target-state design, incremental road-mapping, and operating-model design.

• Practical experience with architectural tools; link strategy and capabilities to SAFe/Lean Portfolio processes (themes/OKRs → epics → features) and support PI Planning with architectural context.

• Knowledge of information and data governance, along with risk, compliance, and lifecycle management: information architecture, data lineage, ownership/stewardship, and privacy; assess technology lifecycle and obsolescence, vendor risks, regulatory issues, and multi-region constraints.

• Experience in platform and technology assessment with a focus on AI and analytics: evaluate cloud/platform options and integration/eventing/observability solutions; govern decisions driven by telemetry and support AI adoption.

• Proficiency in change management, communication, and building credibility: deliver clear executive communication and decision-making frameworks; transform ambiguity into actionable roadmaps; certifications in cloud architecture are a plus.

• A minimum English proficiency level of B2 (Upper Intermediate) to facilitate effective communication with global teams.
