Greenfield Architecture & System Design
Lead technical discovery for all major system initiatives, producing high-fidelity artifacts — ERDs, system context diagrams, data flow maps, and sequence diagrams — that serve as the source of truth for implementation
Assess current platform limitations and define the path forward, including when to optimize, when to re-platform, and when to build a custom integration layer
Serve as the primary technical evaluator during software procurement, vetting vendors on API robustness, data model flexibility, and security compliance — not just features
Identify and document integration debt across the current-state architecture and develop a prioritized roadmap to address it
Participate in Architecture Review Board discussions, ensuring major system changes align with enterprise standards and reference architecture
Master Data & Integration Strategy
Partner with platform SMEs and administrators to define a unified approach to master data across the organization
Partner with the IT Architect and platform SMEs who own our iPaaS integration environment today, co-developing reusable integration patterns, error-handling frameworks, and self-healing workflows that raise the bar without displacing existing ownership
Drive integration architecture toward API-first, event-driven patterns (REST, webhooks/pub-sub) where they improve reliability and reduce latency over batch processing
Define how internal systems authenticate and communicate, with strict enforcement of secure API standards (OAuth 2.0, REST/SOAP) across all integrations
AI & Intelligent Automation
Partner with the AI & Automation Staff Engineer to identify high-value opportunities to embed AI into Crusoe's enterprise systems — workflow automation, intelligent document processing, enterprise copilots, and natural-language interfaces to platforms — contributing enterprise-systems and data-model expertise to their design
Contribute enterprise-architecture perspective to the AI & Automation team's evaluation of agentic AI, RAG, LLM integration patterns, and orchestration frameworks (including MCP); co-develop governance standards for their use within enterprise systems alongside the AI & Automation Staff Engineer, who owns AI governance
Partner with InfoSec and Data teams to ensure AI-enabled workflows meet data privacy, security, and audit requirements
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Technical Advisorship
Work alongside a team of experienced senior system administrators across Oracle, Procore, Coupa, Rippling, and other platforms — serving as the go-to architecture and integration resource on complex cross-system initiatives
Conduct design and configuration reviews, provide architectural guidance, and help administrators think through integration trade-offs on their projects
Establish shared standards for documentation, sandbox management, and change control that the broader team can build toward consistently
Governance & Standards
Establish the “Rules of the Road” for the Enterprise Technology team: naming conventions, sandbox management, documentation standards, and change control processes
Partner with InfoSec to ensure all architectural designs meet SOC2 and SOX requirements
Partner with the Identity Lead, who owns IAM/PAM and access design, to ensure RBAC models across enterprise systems are secure without creating operational friction — contributing enterprise-systems context rather than setting Identity policy independently
Define architectural review processes and quality standards for enterprise-systems initiatives, coordinating with the AI & Automation and Identity teams on criteria within their respective domains
Cross-Functional Translation
Serve as the primary bridge between business needs and technical execution, representing the Enterprise Technology team to stakeholders in Finance, Construction, and People
Communicate architectural trade-offs — real-time vs. batch, build vs. buy, monolith vs. modular — clearly to non-technical audiences
Build credibility and trust with business partners through consistent, clear communication and follow-through
