Description
Overview
As part of the transformation, we are evolving how finance, business, and technology collaborate-shifting to lean-agile, user-centric small product-oriented delivery teams (PODs) that design and deliver integrated, intelligent, and scalable solutions.
The Sr. Application Architect plays a critical role in shaping the technical foundation of applications-ensuring consistency, scalability, and architectural integrity across the front-end, back-end, and integration layers.
Embedded within the Platform Pod, this role collaborates with Engineering Leads, Technical Product Owners, Cloud and Data Architects, and Full-Stack Developers across both product pods and shared platform teams to drive alignment in application design, technology choices, and system integration. The Application Architect enables delivery teams to move quickly without compromising quality, performance, or future extensibility.
Key Responsibilities
Lead Application Architecture and Integration Strategy
Define and uphold application architecture patterns across product pods, including principles for modularity, component reuse, scalability, and system layering.
Design interaction models and integration strategies between applications and platform services (e.g., APIs, orchestration layers, shared data services).
Drive the evolution toward service-oriented and event-driven architectures that support continuous delivery and platform interoperability.
Partner with Data Science teams to support the embedding of AI/ML capabilities (e.g., predictive forecasts, scenario recommendations) into user-facing tools.
Provide Technology Leadership Across Pods
Evaluate and recommend front-end and back-end technologies (e.g., Angular, React, Spring Boot, Python, Java), frameworks, and design patterns that align with the program's goals.
Establish shared conventions for critical concerns such as authentication, authorization, state management, error handling, and performance tuning.
Integrate security-by-design into the application stack, ensuring compliance with WBD standards and data privacy requirements.
Enablement, Mentorship, and Collaboration
Serve as a trusted advisor and technical mentor to Full-Stack Engineers and Engineering Leads across pods.
Lead architecture syncs and design reviews to align on shared services, API contracts, and UI integration touchpoints.
Proactively identify opportunities to improve technical cohesion across pods through common libraries, reusable services, and design templates.
Documentation and Governance
Create and maintain clear, accessible architecture documentation, including system diagrams, interface contracts, component maps, and decision logs.
Actively participate in architecture review boards and program-level design sessions-ensuring decisions scale.
Support the intake and evaluation of new technical requirements, including prototyping and feasibility assessments when needed.

Additional Skills & Qualifications
You'll thrive in this role if you:
Think in Layers and Interfaces
You understand how to design software that is modular, extensible, and easy to evolve-balancing separation of concerns with end-to-end usability.
Bridge Strategy with Execution
You can translate abstract architectural direction into concrete technical designs that development teams can deliver on, iteratively and reliably.
Lead Through Enablement
You empower engineers by providing frameworks, guidance, and guardrails-rather than control-so teams can move fast and build responsibly.
Value Consistency Without Rigidity
You know when to enforce standards and when to allow for flexibility to meet specialized product needs.
Communicate with Clarity
You're able to translate architectural trade-offs to stakeholders across engineering, product, platform, and business domains.
