Enterprise Solution Architect

Enterprise Solution ArchitectArlington, VA (Priority 1) and St. Louis, MO (Priority 2)Experience 10–15+ years in enterprise architecture / data platform architecture. Deep experience in Microsoft Fabric + Power BI ecosystem and modern data platform principles. Proven delivery leadership for large programs (multi-domain, 1000+ user scale). Strong background in: Security architecture, compliance/audit, governance design Metadata/lineage/catalog design and stewardship models Migration modernization programs (DW/ETL/BI transformations) Executive communication and stakeholder management experienceKey Responsibilities (Must-Have)Enterprise Architecture Strategy (Target State + Roadmap)Define the target state architecture for Microsoft Fabric including: Workspaces/domains strategy aligned to enterprise operating model (centralized CoE, federated domains, or hybrid) OneLake architecture and multi-zone data layout (landing/curated/serving) Standard architecture patterns for Lakehouse, Warehouse, Real-time, and Semantic modelsDevelop the platform adoption roadmap: Phased onboarding strategy for 100s of teams and 1,000s of users Capability roadmap (governance maturity, automation maturity, migration waves) Reference implementation(s) and scaling patterns Own architecture decisioning: Document Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) Ensure consistency of patterns across domains and teamsSecurity, Compliance, and Risk Architecture (Zero Trust Enterprise Controls)Design enterprise-grade security controls for Fabric: Tenant, capacity, workspace governance boundaries Entra ID group-driven RBAC strategy and least privilege access design Separation of duties across Admin/Platform/Engineering/Business personasDefine compliance and auditing requirements: Data classification and sensitivity labeling approach Data access auditing, lineage for compliance, and evidence generation model Retention and lifecycle controls aligned to enterprise policy (where applicable)Enterprise Governance ArchitectureArchitect the enterprise governance ecosystem: Define Purview's role (scanning, classification, lineage, policy enforcement where applicable) Define Atlan's role (enterprise catalog UI, glossary, stewardship workflows, governance operating processes) Design and guide implementation of: Metadata synchronization strategy (system of record, mapping rules, identity resolution) Lineage strategy (Fabric lineage + enterprise lineage consolidation) Business glossary alignment and stewardship RACI across domainsDefine governance workflows: Data product certification/endorsement, publishing guardrails Controlled sharing models and approvals for sensitive data Data contract and documentation standardsIntegration Architecture (Sources, Formats, and Consumption)Define patterns for ingestion and integration across source systems: Structured sources (SQL Server/Oracle/SaaS), unstructured files, APIs, events (where required) Batch and incremental (CDC) ingestion strategies Data quality and schema drift strategyDefine serving and consumption architecture: Semantic model strategy (shared models, certified datasets, RLS/OLS patterns) Power BI workspace/app distribution model and content lifecycle Data sharing patterns across workspaces/domains (governed reuse, avoiding duplication)Migration Modernization LeadershipLead modernization and migration planning: Discovery and assessment of legacy platforms (DW/ETL/BI, on-prem to cloud) Workload classification and migration wave planning Target patterns: refactor vs rehost vs replatform Define migration accelerators/approach: Metadata-driven ingestion, automated reconciliation, parallel run strategy Validation strategy: data parity, performance, security, and operational readinessDefine platform operations: SLO/SLA model for platform and critical data products Incident/change/release management and ITSM integration Define observability strategy: Capacity monitoring, workload health, lineage coverage, governance compliance metrics Own FinOps strategy: Cost allocation model Workload optimization and capacity planning approach
