Architect - Technology Governance

Job Description

This position is responsible for enabling and evolving the organization’s enterprise architecture capabilities, with a strong emphasis on maintaining a high‑quality Architecture Repository, building API-based integrations between architecture and technology tools, and enabling effective, repeatable governance. The role will operate at both a hands-on and strategic level, executing front‑line architectural tasks while improving visibility, data quality, and enabling decision-making across IT.

This Architect role focuses on integrations and architecture enablement—designing and developing APIs to connect systems, repositories, and tools, and building visibility into application, integration, and technology inventories to support informed decision-making and governance.

This is a hybrid role working partially in-office (Lincoln, NE or Cincinnati, OH) and partially from home.

What you do:

• Ensure application, platform, integration, and technology records are accurate, complete, timely, and consumable in the enterprise architecture repository.
• Design and develop APIs to integrate architecture tools with internal systems and external platforms.
• Enable automated collection and synchronization to operationalize governance processes, including regular technology reviews with leaders.
• Build, maintain, and monitor architecture data quality dashboards to track completeness, freshness, and usability.
• Execute day-to-day architecture operational tasks, including the architecture intake/ticket queue.
• Enable leaders to assess technical debt, redundancy, manage risk, and optimization opportunities across the technology landscape.
• Partner with different lines of business, departments, product owners, cross-function teams and IT leaders to align solutions with architectural direction.

What you bring:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and experience required.
• 0-2 years of information technology experience required.
• Previous API or integration programming experience required.
