Position Specific Description

We are seeking a hands-on Technical Conduit Delivery Lead to steward the architecture, shared data model, and integration ecosystem supporting the Conduit product portfolio. 

This role will ensure that enhancements across Conduit and connected platforms—including SAP, Maximo, internal systems, vendor solutions, and emerging technologies—advance a coherent, secure, and sustainable technical architecture. The successful candidate will coordinate cross-system changes, establish reusable integration and data patterns, and rapidly evaluate new capabilities through working prototypes. 

The position requires a combination of enterprise architecture, data and integration expertise, technical delivery leadership, and hands-on problem-solving. This individual will partner closely with Product Owners, engineering teams, enterprise architecture, data teams, business-system owners, and technology vendors to align dependencies and move solutions safely from concept through implementation. 

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain Conduit’s target architecture, technical roadmap, integration principles, and architectural decision records.
• Ensure proposed enhancements align with long-term architecture, security, supportability, data governance, and operational requirements.
• Steward the shared Conduit data model, including data definitions, ownership, system-of-record boundaries, mappings, and synchronization patterns.
• Coordinate technical dependencies, interface changes, testing requirements, and delivery timelines with Product Owners, engineering teams, and connected-system owners.
• Review proposed solutions for architecture, integration, data, security, performance, reliability, and lifecycle-management impacts.
• Resolve cross-system questions involving data ownership, mappings, interfaces, dependencies, and synchronization.
• Establish reusable technical patterns, standards, and documentation that accelerate delivery while reducing unnecessary customization and technical debt.
• Build working prototypes using modern development tools, including agentic coding capabilities, to evaluate concepts and emerging technologies quickly.
• Help team members use coding agents and rapid-development tools safely, effectively, and consistently.
• Evaluate new technologies for architectural fit, business value, data implications, security, scalability, supportability, and long-term viability.
• Partner with quality, product, engineering, security, architecture, and operations teams to ensure solutions are testable and ready for production use.
• Identify technical risks and delivery conflicts early, communicate tradeoffs clearly, and drive practical resolution across stakeholder groups.
• Monitor the effectiveness of integration and data patterns and recommend improvements based on delivery outcomes and operational performance. 

Job Overview 
This position provides technical leadership for the architecture, data, and integration capabilities supporting an enterprise product ecosystem. Employees in this role are responsible for establishing and maintaining technical direction, coordinating cross-system delivery, and ensuring that technology investments result in scalable, reliable, secure, and supportable solutions. 

The role serves as a technical connector between product teams, business-system owners, engineering teams, enterprise architecture, data organizations, and external technology partners. It combines strategic architectural stewardship with hands-on technical evaluation, prototyping, and delivery coordination. 

Job Duties & Responsibilities

• Establishes and maintains target-state architecture and technical roadmaps.
• Defines and governs integration principles, reusable patterns, and technical standards.
• Maintains shared data models, data definitions, mappings, and system-of-record boundaries.
• Reviews enhancements for architecture, integration, data, security, and supportability impacts.
• Coordinates technical dependencies and interface changes across connected systems.
• Partners with engineering teams and system owners to plan, test, and implement cross-system changes.
• Evaluates emerging technologies and recommends appropriate adoption paths.
• Develops prototypes and proofs of concept to validate technical approaches.
• Documents architectural decisions, technical risks, dependencies, and implementation requirements.
• Promotes scalable solutions and minimizes unnecessary site-specific or system-specific customization.
• Supports technical troubleshooting and resolution of complex cross-platform issues.
• Mentors team members and provides technical guidance on architecture, integration, data, and modern development tools.
• Leads technical workstreams, initiatives, or cross-functional delivery efforts.
• Performs other job-related duties as assigned. 

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with enterprise asset management, work management, claims, or operational technology platforms.
• Experience with cloud platforms, APIs, event-driven integrations, middleware, data pipelines, and modern integration architectures.
• Experience creating architectural diagrams, interface specifications, data mappings, technical roadmaps, and decision records.
• Experience developing prototypes or proofs of concept using Python, SQL, APIs, low-code tools, or other modern development technologies.
• Familiarity with generative AI, agentic coding tools, AI-assisted software development, or emerging enterprise AI capabilities.
• Experience working in Agile product-delivery environments with Product Owners, engineering teams, and operational stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor others and establish reusable technical standards and development patterns. 

Measures of Success

• Scalable, maintainable integration patterns are consistently applied.
• System-of-record and data-ownership boundaries are clearly defined and understood.
• Shared data definitions and mappings remain reliable across connected systems.
• Cross-system changes are coordinated without avoidable conflicts, delays, or rework.
• Architectural decisions and technical dependencies are documented and transparent.
• Emerging technologies are evaluated quickly through practical, working prototypes.
• Technical solutions meet security, reliability, supportability, and long-term-value expectations
