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.
