Title:
Lead Enterprise Architect
Job Type:
Permanent Position
Target Start Date:
ASAP
Work Location/Structure:
San Diego, CA (onsite only – no remote or hybrid)
About the Opportunity: Our client, a leader in FinTech, is looking for a skilled Lead Enterprise Architect to join their team for an engagement focused on owning key architectural responsibilities across governance, modernization, and enterprise-level strategy. This project involves identifying a hands‑on architecture leader with banking or fintech experience, strong executive presence, and the ability to both strategize and execute. This is a high‑impact role that requires a self‑motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly. This position has the ability to grow into the Chief Architect role within 12–24 months.
Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:
Design software architecture specifications that support the functional and non-functional requirements of software solutions, such as usability, reliability, availability, modularity, interoperability, maintainability, testability, and security.
Apply modern architecture principles and patterns, such as microservices, cloud-native, serverless, event-driven, reactive, domain-driven design, API-first, and DevOps.
Leverage the latest technologies and tools, such as AI, machine learning, big data, Crypto, IoT, blockchain, and cloud services, to enhance software solutions and create competitive advantages.
Improve and enforce software engineering standards, guidelines, methodologies, processes, and best practices.
Guide and mentor matrixed software engineering teams, including architects, developers, testers, and DevOps engineers, and foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and excellence.
Collaborate extensively with product management, business units, and technology teams to understand customer needs, market trends, and business opportunities, and translate them into software solutions with competitive advantages.
Research and evaluate new technologies, frameworks, libraries, and tools, and provide recommendations and guidance on their adoption and integration.
Monitor and analyze software performance, quality, security, and scalability, and identify and resolve any issues or risks.
Document and present the software architecture, design, and implementation to internal and external stakeholders, such as executives, customers, partners, and vendors.
Required Skills & Experience: We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:
10+ years of experience in software engineering and at least 5 years in enterprise or solution architecture.
Deep expertise in architecture principles including microservices, event-driven, cloud-native, domain-driven design, API-first, and DevOps. This isn’t a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
Experience with or awareness of emerging technologies such as AI/ML, blockchain, data platforms, and cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
