Architects typically develop and maintain any combination of the following: solution and application architecture, infrastructure environment architecture, technical integration architecture, data strategies and models, security and enterprise architecture. There's room to grow in all of it. About This Role As we look ahead to 2026, we anticipate an increased workload driven by the migration of our payments data store to Mongo Atlas, the acceleration of the Sanctions program and the VCP initiative.
