Position Specific Description
We are seeking a hands-on Technical Conduit Delivery Lead to steward the architecture, shared data model, and integration ecosystem supporting the Conduit product portfolio.
This role will ensure that enhancements across Conduit and connected platforms—including SAP, Maximo, internal systems, vendor solutions, and emerging technologies—advance a coherent, secure, and sustainable technical architecture. The successful candidate will coordinate cross-system changes, establish reusable integration and data patterns, and rapidly evaluate new capabilities through working prototypes.
The position requires a combination of enterprise architecture, data and integration expertise, technical delivery leadership, and hands-on problem-solving. This individual will partner closely with Product Owners, engineering teams, enterprise architecture, data teams, business-system owners, and technology vendors to align dependencies and move solutions safely from concept through implementation.
Key Responsibilities
- Maintain Conduit’s target architecture, technical roadmap, integration principles, and architectural decision records.
- Ensure proposed enhancements align with long-term architecture, security, supportability, data governance, and operational requirements.
- Steward the shared Conduit data model, including data definitions, ownership, system-of-record boundaries, mappings, and synchronization patterns.
- Coordinate technical dependencies, interface changes, testing requirements, and delivery timelines with Product Owners, engineering teams, and connected-system owners.
- Review proposed solutions for architecture, integration, data, security, performance, reliability, and lifecycle-management impacts.
- Resolve cross-system questions involving data ownership, mappings, interfaces, dependencies, and synchronization.
- Establish reusable technical patterns, standards, and documentation that accelerate delivery while reducing unnecessary customization and technical debt.
- Build working prototypes using modern development tools, including agentic coding capabilities, to evaluate concepts and emerging technologies quickly.
- Help team members use coding agents and rapid-development tools safely, effectively, and consistently.
- Evaluate new technologies for architectural fit, business value, data implications, security, scalability, supportability, and long-term viability.
- Partner with quality, product, engineering, security, architecture, and operations teams to ensure solutions are testable and ready for production use.
- Identify technical risks and delivery conflicts early, communicate tradeoffs clearly, and drive practical resolution across stakeholder groups.
- Monitor the effectiveness of integration and data patterns and recommend improvements based on delivery outcomes and operational performance.

Search Lead Architect Jobs in FloridaLead Architect Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies in Florida sponsor visas for lead architects?
Florida-based technology and enterprise companies with established visa sponsorship programs for senior engineering roles include Chewy, Citrix Systems, Lockheed Martin, NextEra Energy, and Raymond James Financial. Large technology consultancies and defense contractors operating in Miami, Orlando, and Tampa also file Labor Condition Applications for lead architect positions. Sponsorship activity is highest at mid-to-large employers with dedicated HR and legal teams experienced in H-1B petitions.
What visa types are available for lead architects seeking sponsorship in Florida?
Lead architect is a specialty occupation requiring at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field, so it qualifies for H-1B, H-1B1 visa (Chile and Singapore nationals), and E-3 visa (Australian nationals). Canadian and Mexican citizens may qualify under TN status, which covers the Architect profession on the USMCA list. Experienced lead architects may also pursue an EB-2 or EB-3 employment-based green card through PERM labor certification filed by their Florida employer.
How to find lead architect visa sponsorship jobs in Florida?
Migrate Mate lists Florida employers with verified visa sponsorship history for lead architect roles, letting you search by city and filter to companies that have actively filed for this occupation. This is more targeted than a general job search because it surfaces employers already familiar with sponsoring senior engineering positions. Focus your search on Miami's growing tech sector, Orlando's simulation and defense corridor, and Tampa's expanding financial technology hub.
Which Florida cities have the most lead architect sponsorship jobs?
Miami leads for lead architect sponsorship activity, driven by its financial technology sector, regional headquarters of multinational firms, and a growing startup ecosystem. Orlando follows closely due to defense simulation companies, theme park technology operations, and the University of Central Florida's engineering pipeline. Tampa has seen increasing demand through healthcare technology and financial services firms. Jacksonville and Fort Lauderdale are smaller but active markets for senior software engineering roles.
Are there Florida-specific factors that affect visa sponsorship for lead architects?
Florida has no state income tax, which affects compensation benchmarking employers use when filing a Labor Condition Application to certify prevailing wage compliance. Florida's large public university system, including University of Florida, University of Central Florida, and Florida International University, generates a consistent pipeline of engineering talent that shapes local hiring norms. Florida's defense and aerospace concentration around Orlando and Melbourne means lead architects with security clearance eligibility attract particularly active employer interest.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored lead architect jobs in Florida?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
