Job Description Senior Infrastructure Architect – Bank of America Responsibilities Work across business, operations, and technology to create the solution intent and architectural vision for complex solutions, prioritizing functional and non‑functional requirements into a technology backlog. Contribute to the creation of the architecture roadmap for defined domains (Business, Application, Data, and Technology) in support of the product roadmap and the development of best practices, including standardized templates. Clarify the architecture, assist with system design to support implementation, and provide solution options to resolve any architectural impediments. Facilitate solution‑driven discussions, lead the design of complex architectures, and find creative solutions through domain knowledge, practical experiments, and proof of concepts while ensuring flexibility, modularity, and adaptability. Educate team members on technology practices, standardization strategies, and best practices to create innovative solutions. Support the team in selecting the technology stack required for solutions and the preferred technology products. Perform design and code reviews to ensure all non‑functional requirements (security, performance, maintainability, scalability, usability, and reliability) are sufficiently met. Drive the strategic on‑premise platform upgrade for GEOS, ensuring designs meet workload demands, resiliency objectives, and automation principles. Embed required technical controls into architecture patterns, validate designs against enterprise risk frameworks, and ensure compliance with configuration, access, segmentation, monitoring, and resiliency standards. Engage with 2nd Line Risk, Internal Audit, and Cybersecurity to address control expectations, respond to challenges, and ensure architectural decisions withstand scrutiny. Required Qualifications 10–15 years of progressive experience in infrastructure architecture and/or platform engineering. Deep hands‑on expertise designing and modernizing on‑premise infrastructure platforms, including next‑generation data center builds. Strong architectural and implementation experience with hyper‑converged infrastructure platforms. Advanced proficiency with VMware and/or Nutanix virtualization technologies for large‑scale, production‑grade deployments. Experience integrating compute platforms into new or greenfield data center environments. Proven leadership of strategic platform modernization initiatives from architecture design through build, validation, and production rollout. Strong understanding of resiliency, high availability, scalability, and performance requirements for enterprise workloads. Ability to balance engineering innovation with disciplined risk management in regulated environments. Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence technical direction across engineering, risk, and governance teams. Experience setting technical strategy and providing architectural leadership across multiple engineering teams. Desired Qualifications Demonstrated ability to define and enforce best practices, reference architectures, and design patterns for hosting platforms. Hands‑on lab experience validating architectural designs, testing solutions, and supporting proof‑of‑concept efforts. Strong background embedding enterprise risk, security, and control requirements into infrastructure architecture. Experience supporting audit readiness, responding to control challenges, and ensuring architectural decisions withstand regulatory and internal scrutiny. Experience aligning architectures to enterprise risk frameworks, configuration standards, access controls, network segmentation, monitoring, and resiliency requirements.
