Enterprise Architect

We currently have a full-time onsite opportunity for an Enterprise Architect to come on board with our client based in Bryanston. This role sits at the intersection of Business Data and Technology acting as the critical glue that integrates complex interconnected systems across diverse and often challenging environments.
Their technology ecosystem spans: cloud platforms infrastructure (various locations) field sensors and offline systems operating under intermittent connectivity. This complexity requires an EA who is not only strategic but also hands-on and therefore someone who can design architecture write code where needed and ensure systems remain secure scalable and resilient.
You will bridge the gap between technical teams vendors and business stakeholders ensuring that systems work seamlessly together across LAN WAN and cloud environments.
Direct Stakeholders:

• Technology Management
• Business Intelligence (BI) Team
• Audit & Risk Teams
• Technology Vendors and Partners

Responsibilities:

• Define architecture models across Business Data Applications and Technology domains (TOGAF-aligned)
• Design secure scalable data flows including offline store-and-forward Architectures
• Implement monitoring governance and network/device management solutions
• Ensure integration across hybrid environments (on-prem cloud remote systems)
• Define and maintain enterprise architecture standards processes and conformance through OLAs
• Lead cybersecurity audits remediation efforts and vendor coordination
• Design and implement monitoring alerting and change control across Azure servers and central platforms
• Develop and maintain enterprise architecture diagrams (logical physical virtual)
• Implement and govern data warehouse (DWH) architecture including Medallion (Bronze layer) pipelines
• Drive unified data governance including data cataloging classification lineage and security (DLP)
• Implement compliance and risk frameworks (eDiscovery Insider Risk Data Lifecycle Management)
• Establish API integration standards error handling and system interoperability
• Define RASCI frameworks for internal teams vendors and business stakeholders
• Ensure disaster recovery (DRP) and business continuity (BCP) planning and testing for Tier 1 systems
• Support identity and access management (SSO MFA privileged access controls)
• Collaborate with vendors to ensure integration capabilities and contractual compliance

Key Deliverables will include:

• Enterprise Architecture diagrams and documentation
• Data governance and DWH architecture frameworks
• API and integration standards
• Network and monitoring standards (WAN LAN VPN WWAN)
• Error management and reporting frameworks

Essential Requirement:

• TOGAF certification (essential)
• Proven experience across the four EA domains: Business Data Applications Technology
• Bachelors degree in Computer Science (Honours advantageous)
• 3-5 years experience as an Enterprise Architect
• 3-5 years experience in Azure-based environments
• Microsoft Azure certifications (AZ-104 AZ-305 AZ-500 AZ-400; AZ-204 advantageous; DP-203/DP-300 beneficial)
• Strong understanding of APIs data integration and database systems
• Ability to write/configure integration code (e.g. Python API interfaces queries)
• Experience with cloud data storage and transfer (Azure preferred)
• Strong documentation skills (BRS FRS TDD SDKs DRP BCP SOPs)
