Job DescriptionEnterprise ArchitectWe have an opportunity for an Enterprise Architect to join our Enterprise Architecture & IT Strategy team in US Remote, reporting to the Senior Director. In this pivotal role, you own the end-to-end architecture for a set of business capabilities and help move Infoblox from emerging architecture practices to a unified, capability-centric operating model with strong governance, clear traceability, and measurable business outcomes. Collaborating closely with business, product, data, security, and engineering teams, you shape target-state architectures, guide complex solution designs across AI, integration, data, and infrastructure domains, and champion modern, reusable patterns that accelerate delivery while managing risk.
Be a Contributor - What You'll Do - Lead capability-centric architecture strategy for assigned domains, connecting business strategy to clear technology roadmaps
- Build and maintain end-to-end capability maps and architecture landscapes that link value streams, processes, data, applications, and infrastructure
- Develop contextual, conceptual, logical, and physical architecture views that cover key functional and non-functional requirements
- Translate business and product strategies into solution architectures spanning AI, integration, data, and infrastructure, aligned to enterprise standards and target state
- Define and evolve architecture standards, reference models, and reusable patterns, including API-led, event-driven, data/analytics, and AI-assisted workflows
- Partner with product, data, and engineering teams to embed AI thoughtfully into business processes (decision support, analytics, automation, content generation) with responsible use and strong data protection
- Guide solution teams on selecting and integrating AI and analytics tools (enterprise AI assistants, ML platforms, observability solutions) to improve productivity and insight
- Lead and participate in architecture governance forums, driving design reviews, key decisions, and transparent exception handling
- Identify and drive opportunities for reuse, simplification, modularity, zero-touch automation, and self-service across platforms and capabilities
- Develop and maintain multi-year capability and platform roadmaps that align dependencies, funding, and sequencing with business priorities
Be Prepared - What You Bring - 12+ years in enterprise, solution, or platform architecture roles across applications, data, integration, and/or infrastructure, including work in complex or global environments
- Proven experience designing and governing large-scale, business-critical solutions aligned to capabilities and value streams, including roadmap and dependency ownership
- Deep knowledge of modern architecture patterns: API-first, microservices, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native platforms (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS) on at least one major cloud
- Strong background in data and integration architecture (data modeling, pipelines, MDM, streaming, ETL/ELT, iPaaS, ESB/API gateways) and how to create AI-ready data foundations
- Hands-on familiarity with AI and automation tools (enterprise AI assistants, ML/analytics platforms, RPA/IPA, AI-enabled observability) and how to apply them safely in enterprise workflows
- Demonstrated ability to define and enforce architecture standards, reference architectures, and governance processes while balancing strategy and delivery realities
- Excellent communication and stakeholder skills - able to simplify complex topics, facilitate decisions, and influence across business, product, engineering, data, and security teams
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and systems-thinking capabilities with a focus on measurable outcomes and traceability to business value
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field; Master's degree or relevant architecture certifications (TOGAF, SAFe, cloud, data/AI) preferred
- Experience working in product-centric, Agile/DevOps environments (cross-functional squads, CI/CD, infrastructure as code) and with modern, AI-enhanced collaboration tools
First 90 Days: Immerse in our culture, connect with mentors (Blox Buddies), and map the systems and meet with key stakeholders that rely on your work. Discuss and create short/long term goals.
Six Months: - Own and publish current-state capability and architecture views for your core domains, including key systems, integrations, and data flows
- Establish and socialize a target-state vision and prioritized roadmap for at least one major capability area, including early, low-risk AI and automation use cases
- Stand up or refine architecture governance routines (design reviews, decision records, standards updates) for your domain with clear engagement models
- Influence the design of 2-3 major initiatives to align with target architecture, security/compliance expectations, and non-functional standards
- Introduce or refine AI-powered tools for architecture documentation, options analysis, and impact assessments, demonstrating tangible productivity gains
One Year: - Drive a measurable shift toward a unified, capability-centric architecture within your domains, with increased reuse, reduced complexity, and stronger traceability from strategy to solutions
- Demonstrate realized business outcomes from your roadmap (e.g., simplified integrations, better data consistency, faster delivery, or cost efficiencies) with clear metrics
- Mature the enterprise architecture standards and patterns library, including AI, integration, data, and infrastructure patterns adopted by delivery teams
- Embed AI and analytics into at least one end-to-end value stream to improve decision quality, automation, or user experience under responsible AI guidelines
- Become a trusted strategic advisor to senior business and technology leaders on major investments, technology choices, and operating-model changes
Belong - Your Community Our culture thrives on inclusion, rewarding the bold ideas, curiosity, and creativity that move us forward. In a community where every voice counts, continuous learning is the norm. So, whether you code, create, sell, or care for customers, you'll grow and belong here.
