Overview
We are looking for a senior, hands-on AI Architect to design, build and govern production-grade Generative AI solutions for enterprise clients. You will combine deep data and application architecture expertise with practical LLM engineering: RAG, vector search, agentic patterns and multi-model strategy across Anthropic, OpenAI and Gemini. You will own solutions end to end, from target-state architecture and ARB approval through secure, governed delivery on cloud.
Key Responsibilities
- Define target-state AI, data and application architectures, reference patterns and reusable accelerators for enterprise GenAI programs.
- Design and build RAG and agentic systems: ingestion, chunking, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, re-ranking, grounding, evaluation and observability.
- Select and integrate LLMs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini) with sound model-routing, cost, latency, safety and fallback strategies.
- Stay hands-on: write and review code, build proofs of concept, set engineering standards and unblock delivery teams.
- Take architectures through Architecture Review Boards: prepare artifacts (ADRs, NFRs, logical and data architecture, integration flows), defend trade-offs and secure approvals on time.
- Design security and access: RBAC/ABAC, identity integration, API management (APIM), secrets, network isolation, data classification, PII/PHI handling and audit trails
- Establish AI governance: prompt and model versioning, evaluation harnesses, guardrails, human-in-the-loop controls, lineage and responsible-AI practices.
- Partner with data engineering on pipelines, semantic layers, metadata and data quality that make enterprise data AI-ready.
- Advise client executives and engineering leaders, mentor architects and engineers, and contribute to pre-sales and solution shaping.
Required Qualifications
- Experience: 11 to 16 years in software, data and solution architecture, including at least 3 years designing and delivering production GenAI/LLM solutions.
- Hands-on engineering: Strong Python (plus Java, TypeScript or similar), REST/GraphQL APIs and event-driven integration. Current in code, not only diagrams.
- RAG and vector search: Demonstrated delivery of RAG systems with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, pgvector, Azure AI Search, Vertex AI Vector Search, OpenSearch, Weaviate or Milvus). Retrieval quality tuning and evaluation.
- LLM platforms: Hands-on with Anthropic, OpenAI and Gemini APIs, including tool/function calling, structured outputs, prompt engineering, context management and cost control.
- Cloud: Production experience on GCP (strongly preferred), Azure or AWS: compute and containers (Kubernetes), managed AI services (Vertex AI, Azure OpenAI/AI Foundry, Bedrock), storage, serverless and CI/CD.
- Data architecture: Data modelling, lakehouse/warehouse patterns, ingestion pipelines, metadata, lineage and data quality. Snowflake, BigQuery or Databricks experience.
- Application architecture: Microservices, API design, integration patterns, resilience and non-functional requirements.
- Security and governance: RBAC, identity (OAuth2/OIDC, Entra ID, IAM), APIM gateways, encryption and compliance (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2)
- Architecture governance: Proven track record presenting to and securing approval from ARBs, with clear ADRs and trade-off analysis.
Pay: $160,000.00 - $175,000.00 per year

Tips for Your Remote Enterprise Architect Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote enterprise architect openings from across the U.S. in one place so you can find roles that match your stack and apply directly. Remote postings fill faster than on-site roles, so checking frequently and applying the day a role appears gives you a real advantage.
Build an async-ready architecture portfolio
Remote employers can't watch you whiteboard, so publish architecture decision records, integration diagrams, or reference architecture write-ups somewhere reviewable. Confluence exports, GitHub repositories, or a personal site all work. Concrete artifacts do more than a resume line ever will.
Demonstrate remote tooling fluency upfront
Call out your hands-on experience with Lucidchart, Miro, ArchiMate, or similar remote-native modeling tools in your resume and cover letter. Remote teams assume enterprise architects can collaborate visually without being in the same room, so naming the tools removes a common early screening doubt.
Prepare for asynchronous technical interviews
Many remote enterprise architect interviews include take-home architecture challenges or recorded async presentations rather than live whiteboard sessions. Practice structuring a written architecture proposal with clear trade-off reasoning, since remote hiring managers judge your communication quality as closely as your technical depth.
Remote Enterprise Architect Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote enterprise architect job?
Target companies that already run distributed engineering or IT teams, since they've built the workflows that let enterprise architects operate without being on-site. Remote employers screen hard for written communication and async documentation skills, comfort owning decisions without daily check-ins, and fluency with tools like Confluence, Lucidchart, and enterprise modeling frameworks. A portfolio of architecture decision records or published reference architectures gives you a concrete edge over candidates with comparable experience but no remote-ready proof.
Which companies hire remote enterprise architects?
Employers currently hiring remote enterprise architects include Fivetran, Fisher Investments, and PortX, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote openings concentrate at cloud-native technology firms, large financial services organizations, and healthcare systems that run distributed IT and engineering teams.
Can you get a remote enterprise architect job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because you're expected to self-direct from day one without in-person mentorship. Cloud-native startups and consulting firms occasionally hire junior enterprise architects remotely. Substitute experience with published architecture diagrams, open-source contributions that show systems thinking, or TOGAF and AWS certifications that signal structured knowledge to a hiring manager who can't observe your work directly.
Do you need a degree for remote enterprise architect jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers list a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field as preferred rather than required, particularly at technology and SaaS companies. What carries more weight remotely is a demonstrated ability to produce architecture artifacts independently, certifications like TOGAF or SABSA, and a history of delivering solutions across distributed teams without close supervision.
Which industries hire the most remote enterprise architects?
The sectors hiring the most remote enterprise architects are Technology & Software, Sports & Recreation, and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These industries rely heavily on enterprise architects because their large, geographically dispersed teams require consistent technology governance and integration standards that can be designed and enforced without anyone being co-located.
