Principal Application Modernization Architect

Enterprise Technical Strategy and Architecture

Set and own the architectural direction for major client engagements — defining the modernization strategy, target architecture, sequencing, and guardrails that keep delivery aligned to business outcomes

Partner with the Strategic Principal to shape SOWs, working directly with C-suite, CTO, CIO, and Chief Architect stakeholders to align technical strategy with organizational goals

Lead architectural design across one or more technical domains — full-stack application development, cloud-native platforms, AI integration — and evolve Liatrio's point of view as the industry changes

Architect enterprise solutions that reduce technical debt while balancing constraints of time, budget, risk, and organizational readiness — and communicate those tradeoffs clearly to executive stakeholders

Anticipate where engagements are heading before others do — surfacing risks, identifying opportunities, and proactively shaping strategy before problems become crises

Participate in scoping discussions and SOW architecture for new and existing customers

Client Relationship and Influence

Build and maintain deep, trusted relationships with CTO, CIO, Chief Architect, and VP-level technical stakeholders — the kind of relationships where clients call you before making major technical decisions

Guide clients through complex, politically charged modernization efforts — removing organizational impediments, building consensus across competing stakeholders, and keeping transformation on track when it gets hard

Share industry insight, anticipate technology shifts, and position Liatrio as a forward-thinking partner

Influence organizational culture and engineering practices at client organizations, helping them build the internal capabilities to sustain transformation after Liatrio is gone

Delivery Oversight and Technical Leadership

Provide technical oversight across multiple workstreams — accountable for the quality, coherence, and strategic alignment of everything your team delivers

Integrate AI and LLM capabilities into client modernization strategies — agentic workflows, intelligent automation, AI-augmented engineering — ensuring those capabilities are production-grade and maintainable

Guide and collaborate with both Liatrio and client architects and engineers, elevating the technical quality of the engagement as a whole

Support the sales team in client expansion conversations and validate the technical feasibility of proposed work

Leverage Liatrio's accumulated insights to create accelerators, methodologies, and intellectual property that benefit future engagements

Team and People Leadership

Accountable for the morale, well-being, and technical growth of the Liatrio team on your accounts
