Principal Enterprise Technology Architect

About the role

We are looking for a Principal Enterprise Technology Architect to own the technical vision for how our internal business systems connect, scale, and evolve.

Responsibilities

• Lead technical discovery for all major system initiatives, producing high-fidelity artifacts — ERDs, system context diagrams, data flow maps, and sequence diagrams — that serve as the source of truth for implementation
• Audit current platform limitations and define the path forward, including when to optimize, when to re-platform, and when to build a custom integration layer
• Assess API robustness, data model flexibility, and security compliance of vendors during software procurement
• Identify and document integration debt across the current-state architecture and develop a prioritized roadmap to address it
• Participate in Architecture Review Board discussions, ensuring major system changes align with enterprise standards and reference architecture
• Partner with platform SMEs and administrators to define a unified approach to master data across the organization
• Drive integration architecture toward API-first, event-driven patterns (REST, webhooks/pub-sub) where they improve reliability and reduce latency over batch processing
• Define how internal systems authenticate and communicate, with strict enforcement of secure API standards (OAuth 2.0, REST/SOAP) across all integrations
• Contribute enterprise-architecture perspective to the AI & Automation team's evaluation of agentic AI, RAG, LLM integration patterns, and orchestration frameworks (including MCP)
• Collaborate with InfoSec and Data teams to ensure AI-enabled workflows meet data privacy, security, and audit requirements
• Work alongside a team of experienced senior system administrators across Oracle, Procore, Coupa, Rippling, and other platforms — serving as the go-to architecture and integration resource on complex cross-system initiatives
• Conduct design and configuration reviews, provide architectural guidance, and help administrators think through integration trade-offs on their projects
• Establish shared standards for documentation, sandbox management, and change control that the broader team can build toward consistently
• Establish the “Rules of the Road” for the Enterprise Technology team: naming conventions, sandbox management, documentation standards, and change control processes
• Partner with InfoSec to ensure all architectural designs meet SOC2 and SOX requirements
• Partner with the Identity Lead, who owns IAM/PAM and access design, to ensure RBAC models across enterprise systems are secure without creating operational friction — contributing enterprise-systems context rather than setting Identity policy independently
• Define architectural review processes and quality standards for enterprise-systems initiatives, coordinating with the AI & Automation and Identity teams on criteria within their respective domains
• Serve as the primary bridge between business needs and technical execution, representing the Enterprise Technology team to stakeholders in Finance, Construction, and People
• Communicate architectural trade-offs — real-time vs. batch, build vs. buy, monolith vs. modular — clearly to non-technical audiences
• Build credibility and trust with business partners through consistent, clear communication and follow-through

Requirements

Demonstrated experience designing systems from the ground up, with examples of greenfield architecture work including ERDs, context diagrams, and data flow documentation you personally produced.

10-15+ years of experience in Enterprise Systems or Solutions Architecture, or equivalent depth of domain/architectural expertise, with at least 5+ years in a Solution Architect or Lead Systems Engineer role and a track record of sustained, recognized impact in the field.

Advanced SQL proficiency and deep fluency with web services (REST/SOAP, JSON, XML, Postman).

Experience operating as a senior technical resource without formal authority, advising peers, running design reviews, and influencing stakeholders through expertise rather than title.

Comfort making strategic calls under significant ambiguity, reading urgency correctly, and finding efficient resolution paths on programs with Crusoe-wide visibility.

Hands-on experience with an enterprise iPaaS platform (Workato preferred; MuleSoft, Boomi, or equivalent considered), including building complex integrations, custom connectors, and managing integration lifecycle management.

Familiarity with our full platform stack: Oracle Fusion Cloud, Coupa, Sage Intacct, Procore, Oracle Primavera, Rippling, Ashby.

Experience building AI-enabled enterprise applications, including agentic AI, RAG, LLM orchestration, MCP, or vector databases, and evaluating them for business-system use cases.

Cloud-native architecture exposure (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and familiarity with event-driven integration patterns (e.g., pub/sub, webhooks).

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field.

Experience in high-growth technology or infrastructure companies navigating the startup-to-enterprise transition.
