Application Architect — Enterprise & AI
This is a delivery-focused architecture role for someone who loves turning complex business problems into working technical solutions.
As an Application Architect, you’ll be the technical lead on product and platform initiatives — taking requirements from product and engineering and designing the systems needed to deliver them. You’ll work closely with delivery teams, product owners, and engineering leads, making the architecture decisions that keep initiatives on track and technically sound.
You’ll be embedded in delivery — shaping how AI-enabled features, integrations, and services are designed and built responsibly, with security and compliance embedded from the start.
What you’ll own
- Solution design for your initiatives - You translate product and business requirements into clear, well-reasoned technical designs — component diagrams, integration specs, data models, and sequence flows that engineering teams can build from. You work within enterprise reference architecture, applying the right patterns for the problem at hand.
- AI & agent implementation design - You design AI-enabled features and workflows within your initiatives: LLM integrations, agentic flows, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and tool-use patterns. You make these capabilities concrete, buildable, and production-ready — informed by the architectural standards set at enterprise level.
- Integration & API design - You define how your solution integrates with surrounding services, APIs, event-driven systems, and external platforms — with clear contracts, resilience patterns, and well-understood boundaries.
- Security & compliance by design - In partnership with AppSec and risk functions, you ensure security controls, PCI/PII requirements, and responsible AI practices are embedded in solution design — not retrofitted during delivery.
- Technical governance within delivery - You guide and review engineering work throughout the build — attending design sessions, reviewing pull requests where it matters, and helping teams navigate technical decisions without creating bottlenecks.
- Estimation & gate input - You produce Gate 0 (ROM) and Gate 1 (detailed) architecture estimates for your initiatives, with clearly documented assumptions, risk flags, and dependency inventories that product and portfolio teams can plan from.
What you’ll deliver
- Well-documented solution architectures for each initiative — clear enough that engineering teams can build without constant clarification
- Integration designs with explicit API contracts, event schemas, and data ownership boundaries
- Architecture estimates (Gate 0 and Gate 1) with assumptions logs and risk registers
- AI feature designs that are production-ready, governed, and aligned with enterprise AI patterns
- Fewer late-stage surprises caused by integration gaps, compliance oversights, or unresolved NFRs
Our technology environment
You’ll be designing across a modern, cloud-native stack. You don’t need to be an expert in all of it, but you should be able to navigate it confidently and make good architectural decisions within AWS, Java, Angular, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Amazon Kiro, Kafka, SQS, GitHub etc
AI tooling is evolving quickly. We expect our architects to stay close to that evolution — evaluating new capabilities critically and integrating them where they genuinely improve outcomes, not just for novelty.
- How we work
- Architecture here is a delivery function, not an ivory tower. We work in agile delivery teams, and solution architects are embedded participants — not external reviewers who parachute in at the start and disappear until go-live.
- Architecture in agile
- You’ll attend sprint ceremonies, backlog refinement sessions, and design reviews as a first-class team member. Architecture decisions are made iteratively — you’ll produce just enough design upfront to unblock the team, then evolve it as delivery progresses and complexity becomes clearer.
- Design reviews and ARB
- Significant architectural decisions are documented in Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and reviewed by the Principal Architect. You’ll lead the preparation and presentation of your solutions, with the Principal Architect providing governance and pattern alignment rather than sign-off on every detail.
- Cross-team collaboration.
- Most initiatives touch shared platforms, APIs, or data services owned by other teams. You’ll be expected to negotiate integration contracts, resolve boundary disputes, and align across teams without needing escalation for every decision.
- Documentation culture.
- We write things down. Architecture artefacts — diagrams, ADRs, integration specs, assumptions logs — are first-class outputs of your role, not afterthoughts. Good documentation reduces re-work, enables team autonomy, and is a mark of craft.
The first 90 days
- Month 1:
- Get across the enterprise reference architecture, approved patterns, and existing system landscape. Meet your product and engineering counterparts. Begin designing the solution for your first assigned initiative.
- Month 2:
- Deliver your first application architecture. Run design reviews with delivery teams and iterate based on feedback. Produce a Gate 1 estimate ready for build commitment.
- Month 3:
- Embed into delivery rhythm — design sessions, sprint reviews, and integration checkpoints. Begin contributing architectural observations back to the Principal Architect to inform pattern refinement.
What we’re looking for
- 5–10 years in software engineering, with meaningful experience in solution or technical architecture roles on multi-team delivery programs
- Solid cloud architecture experience on AWS — services, networking, data, and security patterns in a delivery context
- Hands-on experience designing and integrating AI-powered features — including LLMs, RAG patterns, and agentic workflows
- Strong integration design skills — APIs, event-driven systems, service boundaries, and resilience patterns
- Good working knowledge of backend services (Java ecosystem preferred), data systems, and front-end integration points
- Experience in regulated environments (PCI/PII) and comfort embedding compliance requirements into design
- Able to produce clear architecture artefacts: component diagrams, sequence diagrams, ADRs, and integration specs
- Beyond the credentials, you’re someone who makes things clear and builds trust quickly with delivery teams. You write well — your design docs are readable, your assumptions are explicit, and your trade-offs are explained. You’re excited about AI’s potential in product but grounded about what that means in practice.
Growth & career development
We invest in the growth of our architects. This role sits within a defined architecture career path and comes with structured support to develop in it.
Mentorship from the Principal Architect.
You’ll have regular 1:1 time with the Principal Architect — not just for design reviews, but for deliberate coaching on architectural breadth, strategic thinking, and stakeholder influence. The Principal Architect is invested in developing application architects who can grow into senior and principal roles over time.
Architecture community of practice.
We run a fortnightly architecture community that brings application architects, tech leads, and the Principal Architect together to discuss patterns, review emerging technology, and share lessons from delivery. This is a learning environment, not a governance forum.
Career progression.
For strong performers, the natural path from this role is a Principal Architect, with time and breadth, Enterprise Architect. We’re explicit about what that progression requires and actively support the people who are working toward it.
External development.
We support ongoing professional development through cloud certifications (AWS Solutions Architect Professional), architecture frameworks (TOGAF), and attendance at relevant industry events and conferences.
Who you’ll work with
You’ll work closely with product owners, delivery leads, engineering teams, and InfoSec on a day-to-day basis. You’ll engage with the Principal Architect on standards alignment, pattern exceptions, and cross-initiative design issues. You’re the technical voice on solution decisions — with the credibility to challenge scope, surface risk, and unblock delivery.

- Fintech
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in enterprise application architect jobs.
- Seven or more years of experience designing enterprise-scale application architectures
- Proficiency with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
- Hands-on experience with integration patterns, APIs, and middleware platforms like MuleSoft or IBM
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related engineering field
- Familiarity with enterprise architecture frameworks such as TOGAF or the Zachman Framework
- Experience translating business requirements into scalable, vendor-agnostic architectural blueprints
Tips for Your Enterprise Application Architect Job Search
Align your resume to architecture frameworks
Hiring managers for enterprise application architect roles scan for framework fluency first. Name the specific frameworks you've applied, such as TOGAF, Zachman, or SABSA, and describe the business outcome each shaped, not just that you used them.
Quantify the scale of systems you owned
Vague claims about 'large-scale systems' get filtered out fast. State the number of integrated applications, user load, or transaction volume your architecture supported so reviewers can immediately gauge whether your experience matches their environment.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists enterprise application architect openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter openings by the tech stack listed
Enterprise application architect postings vary sharply by platform. A role anchored in SAP S/4HANA requires a completely different pitch than one built around MuleSoft or Azure Integration Services. Target listings where your primary stack is named in the first paragraph.
Prepare a whiteboard design for common scenarios
Most enterprise application architect interviews include a live architecture design exercise. Practice diagramming a migration from a monolith to microservices or an API-led integration pattern out loud so you can narrate your trade-off decisions in real time.
Negotiate scope before negotiating compensation
Enterprise application architect offers often blur the boundary between architecture and engineering management. Before discussing pay, clarify whether you own build decisions, vendor selection, or just advisory design, since scope defines leverage and long-term career trajectory.
Enterprise Application Architect Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most enterprise application architects?
The companies hiring the most enterprise application architects right now include Gusto, Genpact, and Fonteva, with the largest share of openings in New York, Georgia, and Virginia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is consistently strong at large financial institutions, healthcare systems, and technology consulting firms.
How many enterprise application architect jobs are remote?
About 88% of enterprise application architect openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the advisory nature of much of the role. Sub-areas focused on cloud integration strategy and API governance tend to skew most remote, while roles tied to on-premises ERP implementations more often require on-site presence.
How do you become an enterprise application architect?
Start by building deep hands-on experience as a software engineer or solutions architect, then move into roles that require cross-system design decisions. Develop fluency in at least one cloud platform and one integration layer, earn a recognized architecture certification such as TOGAF, and practice translating business strategy into technical roadmaps. Most architects reach the role after a decade of progressive systems work.
Can you get hired as an enterprise application architect with little experience?
Direct enterprise application architect titles rarely go to candidates without substantial systems design experience, but associate or junior architect roles exist at large consulting firms and technology vendors as entry points. Building a portfolio of documented architecture decisions, contributing to open-source integration projects, and completing a TOGAF Foundation certification can help bridge the credibility gap before targeting senior-level postings.
What does the enterprise application architect interview process look like?
The process typically includes an initial screening call focused on your architecture philosophy and past systems scope, followed by a technical panel where you walk through a past design in detail. Most employers then assign a whiteboard or take-home design exercise, and final rounds involve conversations with business stakeholders to assess how well you translate technical constraints into business language.
Where can I find and apply to enterprise application architect jobs?
You can find and apply to enterprise application architect jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your stack, industry background, and seniority level, then apply directly to each one that fits.
