About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Act as a principal level technical leader for architecture domain, providing direction, guidance, and recommendations on complex architectural and design decisions.
  • Drive enterprise adoption of Enbridge’s architecture reference, LeanIX roadmaps and integrations, while guiding GenAI and DevOps strategies.
  • Make informed design and standard practice deviations where required, based on depth and breadth of expertise, recognizing the limited ability to test recommendations prior to implementation.
  • Review, validate, and provide oversight on the work of other senior specialists and architects, ensuring quality, consistency, and technical integrity.
  • Identify and champion opportunities for automation, DevOps, and modernization in partnership with platform and delivery teams.
  • Define and champion observability-led architecture, ensuring solutions are instrumented by design to provide real-time visibility into reliability, performance, cost, and user behavior.
  • Leverage telemetry, logs, metrics, and traces to evaluate architectural effectiveness and guide modernization, resilience, and automation strategies.
  • Define enterprise integration patterns, API governance standards, and event-driven architecture strategies that enable interoperability across business domains and partner ecosystems.
  • Define architectural guardrails for GenAI and AI/ML adoption, including model governance, data privacy, responsible AI principles, and regulatory compliance in energy sector contexts.
  • Architect for resilience, designing disaster recovery, business continuity, and failover strategies that meet critical infrastructure uptime requirements.
  • Provide coaching, mentoring, and technical development to other team members and emerging leaders within the area, creating long term value for Enbridge.
  • Apply principles of behavioural science and organizational dynamics to architecture decisions, ensuring solutions are designed for adoption, usability, and sustainable operational behaviors.
  • Use data engineering, advanced analytics, and system telemetry to inform architectural trade-offs, validate assumptions, and continuously improve platform and solution effectiveness.
  • Partner with product, delivery, and operations teams to translate user behavior, system usage patterns, and operational signals into actionable architecture insights.
  • Shape and influence target-state technology direction and roadmaps, while leading designs, identifying gaps, risks, and opportunities with clear, actionable recommendations.
  • Provide recommendations that directly influence financial investments, operational efficiency, risk posture, and long-term sustainability of technology platforms.
  • Identify opportunities to optimize cost, reduce technical debt, and improve reliability, scalability, and security of enterprise solutions.
  • Influence architecture patterns that support advanced analytics, machine learning, and AI-enabled operations, including scalability, data latency, and real-time decision needs.
  • Assess architectural trade-offs using both quantitative signals (data, metrics) and qualitative insights (behavioral impacts, operating models).
  • Represent architecture in governance forums such as the Architecture Review Board and Technology Working Groups, influencing enterprise-wide outcomes.
  • Communicate complex and highly technical concepts clearly and credibly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, enabling informed decision-making and operational execution.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, providing clear options, trade-offs, and recommendations on high-consequence decisions.
