IoT Edge Architect

Quick Facts

• Role: IoT Edge Architect

• Focus: Define and implement IoT/Edge architecture, standards, and integration patterns

• Domain: Regulated environments (ideally banking/financial services)

Description

You will design and shape IoT and edge architecture, defining target-state direction, technology patterns, and standards. The role covers end-to-end architecture from devices and edge platforms through networks, data platforms, and cloud, including decisions on where data and processing occur. You will ensure security, governance, resilience, and provide architectural guidance to engineering and delivery teams.

Responsibilities

• Define target-state IoT and Edge architecture, technology patterns, and strategic direction

• Design architectures across IoT devices, edge platforms, networks, data platforms, and cloud environments

• Determine where data and processing take place at the edge versus centrally or in the cloud

• Develop architecture principles, standards, and patterns for IoT/Edge environments

• Ensure alignment with enterprise technology strategy, Enterprise Architecture standards, and relevant platform direction

• Identify and manage architectural, technology, and control risks (resilience, availability, data security, device management)

• Assess technology options and support build vs buy decisions

• Define integration patterns between edge environments, enterprise platforms, APIs, and cloud services

• Provide architectural guidance to engineering and delivery teams throughout implementation

• Resolve architectural conflicts and competing technology requirements across teams and platforms

Requirements

• Strong experience as an IoT, Edge, Solution, or Technology Architect within a large complex organization

• Proven experience designing IoT and/or Edge computing architectures

• Strong understanding of cloud, distributed computing, networks, APIs, and data architectures

• Experience working across the technology stack from devices and edge platforms through to cloud and enterprise platforms

• Strong understanding of technology security, controls, governance, and risk management

• Experience working within a regulated environment, ideally banking or financial services

• Knowledge of Enterprise Architecture principles, standards, and governance

• Ability to balance strategic architecture with practical delivery requirements

• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills

Benefits

• Work across the project lifecycle from strategy to implementation

• Build a broad base of experience for long-term career growth
