Enterprise Architect - Infrastructure

How to contribute to our vision As an Enterprise Architect for Infrastructure, you will be a senior strategic leader responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining the comprehensive infrastructure architecture for the entire organization. You will play a pivotal role in designing enterprise infrastructure architectures that span both Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) environments, enabling secure, reliable, and high-performance connectivity between enterprise systems, industrial assets, IoT platforms, and cloud services. The core of your responsibilities will involve creating and managing the enterprise infrastructure roadmap, from evaluating the current state (as-is) to defining the target state (to-be) architecture. What You Need To Make a Difference 40% Architecture & Strategy Analyze industry trends, emerging technologies, and infrastructure best practices to continuously evolve the enterprise infrastructure architecture and create business value. Define and communicate the target Infrastructure Architecture vision and strategy, ensuring alignment with business objectives, digital transformation initiatives, and enterprise architecture principles. Develop and maintain the Infrastructure Transformation Roadmap, assessing current-state capabilities and defining future-state architectures across cloud, data center, network, workplace, and edge environments. Shape the enterprise strategy for: Cloud Platforms (Azure, AWS) Data Centers and Hosting Compute and Storage Networks and Connectivity End User Computing and Workplace Services Infrastructure Automation Platform Engineering Observability and Monitoring Backup, Recovery, and Business Continuity Define architecture requirements for infrastructure services supporting Data, AI, Engineering, PLM, ALM, IoT, Digital Twin, and OT workloads. 40% Digital Transformation Establish enterprise-wide infrastructure architecture principles, standards, reference architectures, design patterns, and technology guardrails. Drive the modernization and simplification of infrastructure platforms, reducing complexity, technical debt, and operational risk while improving scalability and performance. Lead architecture assessments and evaluate infrastructure solutions, balancing business requirements, operational resilience, security, performance, sustainability, and cost optimization. Define the target operating model for cloud and hybrid infrastructure services, enabling self-service, automation, standardization, and platform-based delivery. Ensure infrastructure platforms are resilient, scalable, sustainable, and capable of supporting current and future business demands. 20% Collaboration & Leadership Collaborate with Enterprise Architects, Solution Architects, Security Architects, Platform Teams, and IT Operations to ensure alignment between business requirements and infrastructure capabilities.
