About The Role

Solution Architecture, as practiced in this role, comprises three interrelated disciplines—Functional Architecture, Information Architecture, and Technical Architecture—and the Lead Solution Architect is expected to work fluidly across all three. You will engage across multiple concurrent streams of work, helping accelerate development, improve solution quality, and ensure alignment to firm-wide architecture patterns and standards.

- Apply AI tools and techniques to improve Solution Architecture practices—including accelerating requirements analysis, pattern identification, data modeling, and architecture documentation.
- Ensure full conformance to firm-wide, CIB, and sub-Line of Business (sub-LOB) architecture patterns and standards, participating in architecture governance bodies.
- Lead evaluation sessions with:
- External vendors
- Internal teams
- Technology partners to assess architectural designs, technical credentials, and applicability within existing systems and information landscapes.
- Identify opportunities to eliminate or automate remediation of recurring issues to improve operational stability and solution quality.
- Evangelize the benefits and importance of Solution Architecture across business and technology communities through strong communication, presentations, workshops, and agile development forums.
- Leverage enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to accelerate architecture analysis and decisioning across the product family, with human-in-the-loop validation and appropriate handling of sensitive data.
- Establishes reuse-first AI-enabled engineering patterns and governance across Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)/toolchain practices, ensuring traceability, auditability, resiliency, and security controls.
