Our teams are made up of experts who believe in engineering impact, starting with putting people at the center of everything we do. Every team member directly shapes our work, culture, and values. Nothing matters more to us than a kind, respectful, fulfilling environment that supports everyone. Our flexible, inclusive culture gives you the autonomy, resources, and opportunities to thrive.
Our client, a large financial services firm, is building a governed, cloud-native investment data platform that replaces many spreadsheet and stored-procedure-based tools with reusable data and analytics services on Azure. This work will require a senior, domain-heavy architect who combines investment data expertise with Azure solution design. The role shapes the investment data model and roadmap with business and technology leaders and turns the target architecture into designs that delivery teams can build.
Key Responsibilities:
- Serve as the senior domain authority on core investment data: holdings, securities (public and private markets), counterparties and relationships, and transactions.
- Define the architecture and data models for an investment book of record, including reference and market data, benchmarks, and restricted securities/products.
- Design the data layers on Azure and a modern lakehouse platform: operational store, analytical history, serving marts, caching and governance, with clear data contracts and conformed dimensions.
- Align designs to asset management operating processes, from front-office decisions through investment operations to reporting, and define integration patterns with upstream investment systems.
- Shape the target-state investment data roadmap and contribute domain judgment to prioritization and MVP sequencing.
- Define service and API contracts and microservice patterns for workflow- and calculation-heavy services.
- Act as the bridge between investment and operations stakeholders and the delivery teams, coordinating with enterprise architecture and data teams.
Workplace: This role is hybrid and open to candidates in the Greater Boston area who are willing to travel to the office 2-3 times per week.
Must Have Skills:
- Senior experience with holdings, security, relationship and transaction data domains, across both public and private markets.
- Direct experience with restricted securities/products and Bloomberg data.
- Deep expertise in asset management data and analytics, and a record of shaping investment data architecture and models, ideally in a large asset manager.
- Strong grasp of asset management operating processes (front-to-back data flows, investment operations) and investment book of record concepts.
- Azure cloud-native architecture: Kubernetes, API management, messaging/eventing, Azure SQL.
- Strong relational and information design, plus service-oriented design with Java/Spring Boot (or .NET) exposure.
- Credibility with senior business and technology stakeholders: able to influence strategy, not just deliver requirements.
Preferred Skills:
- Experience defining or contributing to a multi-year investment data roadmap or target-state data ecosystem.
- Databricks or comparable modern data platform experience in an advisory or architecture role.
- CFA or equivalent investment-domain credential.
- Data governance, lineage, metadata and semantic-layer experience; Python for analytics services.
- Experience with financial services governance and architecture review processes.

The qualifications that appear most often in digital architect jobs.
- Proven experience designing and delivering enterprise or cloud-scale architecture solutions
- Proficiency with major cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud

- Relevant certifications in cloud or enterprise architecture are strongly preferred
Tips for Your Digital Architect Job Search
Align your resume to architecture domains
Hiring managers scan for domain depth first. Structure your resume around the architecture layer you own, whether cloud, enterprise, or data, and name the specific frameworks and platforms you have delivered at scale, not just supported.
Distinguish architecture from engineering on paper
Many digital architect candidates undersell their scope by listing implementation tasks. Rewrite your bullets to show the decisions you made, the stakeholders you aligned, and the design tradeoffs you resolved, not the code or config you touched.
Target postings that match your governance experience
Job titles vary wildly across organizations, so filter by responsibilities, not just the title. Roles that mention architecture review boards, design authority, or technical standards ownership will match your experience better than a keyword search alone.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists digital architect openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a portfolio of architecture decision records
Interviewers for digital architect roles routinely ask you to walk through a past design. Having two or three documented architecture decision records, even sanitized, lets you tell a structured story about context, options considered, and outcome.
Negotiate scope and authority alongside compensation
Architecture roles lose value when the hire lacks decision-making power. During offer conversations, ask directly about the architecture review process, who approves design changes, and whether the role has a seat at roadmap planning before accepting.
Digital Architect Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most digital architects?
The most active employers for digital architects right now are Huron Consulting, Synopsys, and Databricks, and the most openings are in Texas, California, and Illinois, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is concentrated in organizations running large-scale digital transformation programs.
How many digital architect jobs are remote?
About 85% of digital architect openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the design-and-advisory nature of the role. Cloud architecture and solution design sub-specialties tend to have the highest share of remote-eligible positions, while roles tied to on-premise infrastructure or secure government environments are more likely to require on-site presence.
How do you become a digital architect?
Most digital architects move up from software engineering, systems engineering, or IT consulting roles, accumulating hands-on delivery experience before transitioning into design and governance responsibilities. Building depth in a specific domain such as cloud, data, or integration architecture, earning a recognized certification, and contributing to architecture review processes within your current organization are the most reliable steps into the role.
Can you get hired as a digital architect without direct architecture experience?
Yes, but you need to reframe what you have. Candidates who have led technical design discussions, owned integration decisions, or written system design documentation as an engineer or tech lead have architecture experience even if the title never said so. Explicitly naming those responsibilities on your resume and being able to discuss design tradeoffs in depth during interviews closes most of the gap.
What does the digital architect interview process look like?
Most processes include an initial screening call, a technical interview focused on past architecture decisions and design principles, and a whiteboard or take-home exercise where you design a system under realistic constraints. Senior roles frequently add a stakeholder or executive presentation round where you demonstrate how you communicate trade-offs and gain alignment across teams with different priorities.
Where can I find and apply to digital architect jobs?
You can find and apply to digital architect jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your domain and seniority, then apply directly to each listing that fits your experience.
