As Senior Principal Architect – Technology Risk Assurance, you will lead architecture based technical risk assessments across high-impact platforms and applications, focusing on lifecycle exposures such as end-of-life (EOL), end-of-support (EOS), and end-of-extended-support (EOES). You will dissect solution architectures, infrastructure stacks, and vendor integrations to identify systemic weaknesses and architect remediation strategies that are resilient, scalable, and risk aligned.

This role demands architectural mastery, infrastructure depth, and the ability to translate risk signals into actionable design patterns. You will shape how the enterprise manages technical debt, legacy exposure, and lifecycle vulnerabilities—working closely with the Head of Technology Risk Management and enterprise architecture leadership.

• Model dependencies across the full stack, application, middleware, infrastructure, and vendor layers using architectural tools and frameworks.
• Identify unsupported components, architectural drift, and latent vulnerabilities that compromise operational integrity or security posture.
• Partner with domain architects, engineering leads, infrastructure SMEs, and vendor architects to validate lifecycle exposure and co-design remediation blueprints.
• Facilitate architecture workshops to align on modernization paths, technical feasibility, and risk mitigation strategies.
• Translate risk findings into architecture decisions, solution designs, and technical requirements.
• Architect remediation solutions working with the solution / enterprise architects that address lifecycle risks while optimizing for resilience, scalability, and compliance.
• Evaluate upgrade paths, re-platforming options, and decommissioning strategies through an architectural lens.
• Ensure remediation plans are embedded into enterprise architecture roadmaps and delivery pipelines.
• Design governance mechanisms to monitor lifecycle risk posture and remediation progress across architecture domains.
• Embed architectural guardrails and technical controls to prevent…
