Delivery Architect at JM Family Enterprises

Job description

The Delivery Architect translates business and technical requirements into secure, scalable, enterprise-aligned solution architectures that enable value-stream execution and support JM&A’s long-term product strategy. This role provides hands-on architectural leadership, governance, delivery planning, and roadmap guidance across the product lifecycle while partnering with product, engineering, infrastructure, network, Information Security, business, and vendor stakeholders. The ideal candidate is a credible, delivery-focused architect who moves fluidly between architecture and execution. They understand cloud-delivery realities, can determine whether teams are building toward the intended design, and bring sufficient technical depth across APIs, Azure networking, container platforms, modernization, AI, security review, and enterprise governance. They do not need to be a primary hands-on developer, but must be able to interpret implementation details, test architectural assumptions, assess whether plans are achievable, and keep delivery teams aligned to the target state. This is an individual-contributor role that leads through influence rather than direct people management. The position is hybrid, with onsite and remote work based from JM&A’s Deerfield Beach, Florida headquarters. Responsibilities : Solution Architecture and Governance Design and document secure, scalable, reusable solution architectures using approved enterprise technologies, standards, patterns, and governance processes. Lead end-to-end technical design for portals, APIs, integrations, supporting services, and Azure-based modernization and migration initiatives. Evaluate solution options, tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, technology lifecycle impacts, and delivery feasibility; recommend timely remediation strategies. Ensure solutions meet performance, availability, scalability, security, compliance, supportability, operational-readiness, and cost-optimization expectations. Develop and maintain technology roadmaps, architectural runway, reference architectures, principles, and best-practice blueprints aligned to value-stream priorities and product strategy. Present architecture decisions, migration plans, and risk-based recommendations to leadership, approval boards, and governance forums. Product and Delivery Leadership Partner with Product Owners and Product Managers to translate evolving business needs into executable architecture and delivery plans. Support seamless omnichannel experiences and platform integration while balancing near-term delivery commitments with long-term architectural health. Participate in Pre-PI and PI Planning and help allocate appropriate capacity between business features and architectural enablement work. Provide technical leadership throughout the solution-delivery lifecycle and guide cross-functional teams through influence, collaboration, and clear decision-making. Communicate complex technical concepts in business and delivery language for technical and non-technical audiences. Operate effectively when requirements are incomplete, timelines are compressed, and work has significant organizational visibility. Cloud Modernization and Integration Lead Azure modernization and migration planning across internal platforms and application teams. Guide migration from public-facing integration patterns to private Azure networking models, including firewalls, network security groups, routing, segmentation, and enterprise network dependencies. Lead or support migration of MuleSoft-managed integrations to Azure API Management, recognizing when workloads should instead be re-architected as AKS workers or job-driven services. Partner with the Imperva team to align legacy and target-state integrations with approved enterprise endpoint standards, including common naming patterns such as set.api.jmfamily.com. Help retire legacy SFTP, FTP, and ECS-based integration and processing patterns by defining appropriate target-state solutions using Stone
