• As a go-to architect and strategist within 8th Light, you'll partner with one or two clients a year on their hardest architecture challenges, while deepening your and our collective expertise over the course of your career with us. • This role sits at the intersection of long-term planning and hands-on technical leadership. You'll work across the enterprise to map data dependencies, drive legacy modernization, and define how domains like pricing fit into a broader enterprise data and AI ecosystem. One day that might mean aligning teams to deliver new low-latency data sets; the next, running architecture trade-off analysis with senior product, design, and business leadership. • A significant part of the work involves mapping application dependencies and capabilities, building an enterprise-wide context graph, and contributing to an MCP server built on enterprise architecture tooling, all aimed at giving teams (and the AI-assisted tools they use) the context to make better design, trade-off, and risk decisions. • Day-to-day output is hands-on architecture and design: planning artifacts, architecture diagrams, decision records, and roadmap contributions. This isn't a feature-delivery role, but you'll need enough data and technical depth to make well-informed calls, design real systems, and build credibility with technical stakeholders.
