Job overview :

What we're looking for :

The Domain Architect is responsible and accountable for all architecture and design decisions within a specific domain, combining strategic oversight with hands-on technical leadership. Unlike traditional domain architects, this role requires deep technical involvement in the full application architecture and development lifecycle, translating business requirements into functioning software systems while maintaining alignment with enterprise architecture standards and the longer-term digital transformation strategy.

This role demands expertise in full stack application development, database design, cloud architecture, and systems implementation. The Domain Architect will work directly with code, design patterns, and technical implementations while also driving domain-level strategy and maintaining business architecture artifacts.

Key Responsibilities :

Strategic Domain Leadership (25%)

• Serve as part of the Domain Leadership Team to create technology strategy and influence technology direction
• Responsible and accountable for all architecture functions within the domain
• Create and maintain Technology Strategy, and current / target state architectures for the domain
• Collaborate with other domain architects and stakeholders to drive consensus across cross-domain architecture initiatives
• Validate technology feasibility of business case and concept proposals
• Partner with Technology Domain Owners to maintain domain technology roadmaps

What Sets This Role Apart :

This is not a traditional domain architect position. We're looking for an architect who can balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution-someone equally comfortable presenting to executive leadership and reviewing code with development teams. You'll shape domain strategy in the morning and implement reference architectures in the afternoon. If you're passionate about both the "what" and the "how" of enterprise architecture, this role is for you.
