Solution Architect - Business Enterprise Architect (Platform & AI)

Business Enterprise Architect (BEA) is responsible for designing, planning, and maintaining the organization's entire business architecture - from the Business Capability Map and Business Domain Model to the integration flows between domains. The BEA ensures that design decisions (service boundaries, API contracts, system ownership) accurately reflect business reality and strategy. The role requires deep knowledge of both business and software architecture, and serves as the focal point of coordination between Product, Business, and Engineering.
