IT Enterprise Architect
From $10/yr
Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever. The Enterprise Architect is a senior technology leader responsible for modernizing enterprise business platforms through cloud, data, and artificial intelligence (AI). Partnering closely with business and IT leaders, this role translates strategy into target-state architectures, actionable roadmaps, and pragmatic delivery guardrails—enabling scalable, secure, resilient, and dedicated solutions. You will shape how AI (including generative AI) is integrated and adopted responsibly across core business processes and enterprise systems, aligning technology investments to measurable business outcomes across enterprise business functions. The Business Platforms Enterprise Architecture team defines the enterprise blueprint and domain architectures that enable reliable, end-to-end business capabilities across sales, business units, supply chain, finance, procurement, facilities, human resources, and other enterprise applications supported departments. The team partners with solution delivery teams, security, data, and operations to establish and enforce standards, guide solution design, and govern technology decisions across a hybrid ecosystem of SaaS and enterprise platforms. Key vendor platforms include SAP, ServiceNow, Workday, Microsoft, Adobe, Blue Yonder, Boomi, Snowflake, and other domain-specific solutions. Responsibilities: * Strategy, Roadmaps \& Architecture Direction - Define architecture direction for complex business and technology challenges, including options, tradeoffs, and recommendations aligned to enterprise principles and standards. Lead technology evaluations and build-vs.-buy decisions, and maintain a multi-year roadmap covering capability gaps, dependencies, sequencing, and value realization. Develop and govern architecture artifacts, promote reuse of shared capabilities, and ensure non-functional requirements such as security, privacy, resiliency, observability, and operational readiness are planned early. Identify and prioritize high-value AI and automation opportunities, define the architecture approach to deliver them, and drive reuse of shared services and patterns across domains. * Solution Architecture \& Delivery - Partner with Product Owners, program/project managers, engineers, and analysts to translate requirements into implementable designs, architecture patterns, and delivery plans. Provide architectural leadership across build teams and vendors; lead architecture/design reviews, guide tradeoffs, and manage cross-domain dependencies to keep delivery aligned and on track. * Integration, Data \& Platform Architecture – Define and govern integration patters across synchronous and asynchronous paradigms, including API-native design and event-driven architecture, to enable reliable, real-time connectivity across enterprise platforms (e.g., ERP, HR, ITSM, analytics). Collaborate with data architecture and engineering teams on data domains, master data management, data quality, lineage, and analytics enablement, ensuring data is structured, governed and AI-ready. Guide cloud and platform adoption across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments, establishing reference architectures. Guide SaaS architecture and governance decisions including configuration vs. customization trade-offs, extensibility models, vendor upgrade impacts, total cost of ownership, and cross-platform data consistency to ensure SaaS solutions operate as a coherent, governed whole rather than a collection of point solutions. * Architecture Governance \& Risk Management - Ensure solutions align with enterprise security, privacy, regulatory, and internal controls requirements; partner with security and risk teams to define guardrails and address gaps early. Maintain architecture standards, patterns, and reference models; participate in (or lead) architecture review forums/boards to govern exceptions and document decisions and rationale. Identify architectural risks and technical debt; define mitigation plans, track remediation progress, and raise concerns when risk exceeds agreed thresholds. Contribute to enterprise architecture forums, working groups, and portfolio reviews to align roadmaps, manage dependencies, ensure consistent cross-domain architecture direction. * Communication \& Vendor Management - Communicate architectural direction, tradeoffs, and risk in clear business terms to technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leaders. Partner with vendors and system integrators through evaluations, RFP/SOW input, and delivery oversight—defining architectural acceptance criteria and ensuring operational readiness. Serve as a trusted strategic advisor to business leaders by proactively engaging across domains (supply chain, finance, procurement, facilities, HR, sales) to deeply understand business challenges, identify capability gaps, and co-develop technology strategies that align to business outcomes. Go beyond requirements gathering to anticipate emerging business needs and translate them into architectural opportunities. Mentor solution architects and engineers; champion architecture standards, documentation, decision records, and iterative delivery practices across the organization. Minimum Qualifications: * 10+ years of enterprise or solution architecture experience, with a strong track record of defining target-state architectures, building roadmaps, establishing governance, and guiding complex delivery efforts. * Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience) in Computer Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field of study; Master’s degree preferred. * Demonstrated ability to translate business objectives into scalable, secure, and reliable solutions, with strong communication skills and deep knowledge of integration, enterprise data, cloud/hybrid architecture, Agile delivery, and cross-team coordination. * Experience with enterprise platforms and modern AI solution patterns and AI technical stack, including ecosystems such as ServiceNow, Workday, Snowflake, Boomi, Microsoft cloud and identity services, and governance practices for responsible AI and enterprise architecture tooling. * Familiarity with major cloud provider platforms and services (e.g., Azure, AWS, and/or GCP), including experience with cloud-native integration, security, and identity services in hybrid or multi-cloud enterprise environments. * Familiarity with architecture frameworks, such as TOGAF or equivalent, and experience with architecture tooling and modeling. Preferred Qualifications: * 5+ years of experience successfully leading complex implementations as an architect or technical lead, including cross-team dependency management, customer alignment, and delivery governance. * Experience with enterprise platforms and ecosystems such as SAP, ServiceNow, Workday, Snowflake, Boomi/iPaaS, Microsoft cloud and identity services, Adobe, Blue Yonder, and/or API management platforms. * Experience with AI/GenAI solution patterns and lifecycle practices (e.g., RAG, agentic workflows, model/prompt evaluation, and production monitoring) and partnering with data science/ML engineering teams. * Familiarity with responsible AI and governance expectations (risk management, human-in-the-loop controls where needed, audit logging, and policy/controls alignment). * Exposure to enterprise AI platforms/services and orchestration capabilities (e.g., managed model services, vector search, and workflow/orchestration layers) in cloud or hybrid environments.
