In this role, behavioral skills such as leadership, decision-making, and strategic thinking are critical to success.

Enterprise Platform Architects are specialists within our Technology Enablement Platform, focusing on technology-driven domains. As domain experts, they develop standards, patterns, and decision frameworks that guide architectural and engineering practices.
