    Job Description

    As a Principal IT Enterprise Architect (Contract) at our large ecommerce company, you'll lead the Enterprise Community of Practice (ECOP) in the Architecture Governance team. Your main goal: Crowdsource IT standards, practices, guidelines, decision trees, and guardrails through ECOP. This builds collaboration across business architecture, data, services, and applications—and keeps everything aligned with business goals. You'll help create flexible digital guardrails and a scalable IT setup for long-term growth.

    Key Responsibilities

    Lead ECOP Across IT Areas: Set up and run ECOP to connect teams in Enterprise Architecture, DevOps, Infrastructure, and Data Management. Guide crowdsourced work on policies, standards, patterns, specs, practices, guidelines, decision trees, and guardrails. Emphasize rationalization of existing tech (identifying, discovering, harmonizing—but not final decisions).

     

    Build Architecture Governance: Create and apply IT governance rules, standards, and processes. Ensure they match business needs, data security, compliance, and regulations.

     

    Design Solutions and Standards: Work with ECOP to design scalable, agile IT solutions. Follow best practices and tie into our overall architecture. Focus on key areas like:

     

    Applications (#1 Priority): Standardize dev tools across 13 IT orgs where everyone codes. Fix non-standard CI/CD pipelines stored in 5-6 repos. Push DevSecOps tools, standardization, and pipelines.

     

    Data (#2 Priority): Tackle systems of record, master data management (MDM), data fragmentation. Build toward one unified data platform. Map out 50+ systems of record across 13 platforms (e.g., shift employee data to Workday as the single source). Drive discussions in data works to identify, discover, and harmonize data types.

     

    Technology & Platforms (#3 Priority): Provide standards and guidance for dev teams and systems of record—top focus. Drive discussions, create evidence of standards via ECOP (not solo work). Socialize ideas, convince others, and make exec-ready visuals. Lead platform-specific communities of practice: Identify 13 platforms, set lifecycles/ownership, map workloads, drive discovery, build decision trees for platform usage, and support rationalization (e.g., narrow from 3 clouds—GCP, AWS, Azure—to 2; include IBM and Oracle Cloud).

     

    Cloud (#3 Priority): Guide multi-cloud shift as above.

     

    Security (#4 Priority): Focus on identity, IAM, and access management. Use tools like Okta and SailPoint.

     

    Shape Technology Roadmap: Team up with senior leaders and the VP of Enterprise Architecture to build a roadmap that links IT to business priorities and growth.

     

    Engage Stakeholders: Work with IT ops, dev, and business teams for smooth IT integration. Share ECOP results and strategies clearly, especially to execs.

     

    Mentor and Collaborate: Guide architects and engineers in ECOP. Build a culture of sharing knowledge, innovating, and improving.

     

    Track Emerging Tech: Keep up with trends and suggest new tech for ECOP to boost efficiency and edge in the market.

     

    Support EA Program: Help the VP run, plan, and deliver strategic IT projects. Align with ECOP outputs and company goals.

     

    Pay: $60-80/hour

     

    We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters.
