Technical Architect II

Overview

Technical Architect II provides advanced architectural leadership and guidance in their assigned business area, aligning solution development efforts with the broader architectural vision and roadmap. Technical Architect II’s skills and knowledge must include multiple domains (Application/Solution architecture, Technical/Infrastructure architecture, Information/Data architecture), and extensive experience with relevant implementation technology, platforms, and tools. As a senior leader, a Technical Architect II is expected to influence the assigned organization and work independently with senior business and IT leaders, while acting as a mentor and role model within the development teams. Technical Architect II is accountable for the successful implementation of architecture in their assigned organization/teams, which requires excellent communication skills, the ability to work with developers of differing skill levels, and the ability to recognize, surface, and resolve architectural issues in a collaborative manner.

The Technical Architect II translates business strategy, the Architecture Vision, and the Architecture Runway into business area solutions, architectures, and implementable features. They will drive the technology vision within their business/application area, evaluate new technologies and external products for their applicability to specific project or roadmap requirements. This includes taking an opportunistic approach for the inclusion of the enterprise’s Architecture Runway components into the incremental development plans (PI, or Program Increment Planning) of their assigned teams and applications. This must balance business needs and R&D needs, ensuring pragmatic use of development resources while enabling the business to achieve their goals in an economical, scalable, and supportable way. Technical Architect II will establish and maintain technology standards for their applications and drive technical designs to consensus and approval, as necessary. They will also be supporting the creation and evolution of enterprise architecture, including Architectural Vision, Architecture Runway, and governance processes.

Technical Architect II will lead the technology vision, architecture, and implementation in their assigned business area, and will mentor developers and other Technical Architects within the associated development teams. In coordination with the Enterprise Architecture COP, the Technical Architect II may be called on to analyze the technology industry and market trends to determine their potential impact on the business and the enterprise architecture, which will help evolve the Enterprise Architecture Vision and Runway.
