• Extraordinary understanding of diverse technologies, frameworks, platforms and environments to develop a cohesive architectural vision, implemented with consistent, predictable and repeatable processes.
• Able to advocate technical strategy; influence and drive alignment with fellow architects, engineers, key partners and business owners at all levels, across domains.
• Ability to efficiently drive architectural decisions and tradeoffs (build vs buy vs open source) in a collaborative and transparent fashion across teams.
• Passion to continually analyze the architecture and current technology environment; flexibility to recommend improvements and new solutions to drive transformation toward our vision, as the business evolves.
• Able to drive decisions that result in scalable, resilient, reliable, consistent, and elegantly simple solutions.

You will define, drive and champion architecture standards patterns and best practices, and advise local architects, product, SRE, engineering leads and quality engineers on the alignment of solution implementations to conform to evolving standards.
• You will actively participate in the HTEC-wide architecture community, seeking opportunities to collaborate, identify areas where technologies overlap, coordinate reuse and contribute where there are gaps.
