Product Architect

This is a new strategic role that combines product-backlog ownership with architectural leadership—partnering closely with enterprise architects, product owners, and delivery squads to ensure solutions are scalable, secure, API-first, and cloud-ready on Azure.

We’re looking for a hands-on Product Architect to guide the planning, prioritization, and delivery of key enterprise-scale digital platform initiatives.

You’ll play a central part in digital-transformation programs that modernize onboarding, improve interoperability, and enable data-driven decision-making across the enterprise.

• Contribute to governance and reference-architecture reviews, ensuring solutions meet standards for security, scalability, and interoperability.
• Drive value delivery in alignment with the company’s ongoing digital-transformation and onboarding initiatives.
• Be the first Product Architect in this group—help define how the role bridges strategy, architecture, and delivery.
• Provide architectural context and feasibility guidance during backlog refinement, sprint planning, and release preparation.
• Act as the bridge between business stakeholders, architecture leaders, and delivery squads, clearly communicating roadmaps, priorities, and architectural decisions.
• Own and prioritize the product backlog across epics, features, and user stories—ensuring acceptance criteria are clear and business-driven.
• Influence enterprise-scale digital-transformation programs built on modern cloud and integration technologies.
• Partner with enterprise architects to align backlog priorities with Azure cloud services, MuleSoft-based integrations, and Databricks data-platform capabilities.

(Hybrid preferred – Remote considered with periodic on-site travel)

(Target conversion ≈ 6 months)

• Hybrid preferred for Oklahoma City–based candidates (commonly in-office mid-week for collaboration).
• Proven ability to partner with architects, product owners, and delivery teams to translate strategy into actionable backlogs and roadmaps.
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder-management skills.
• Solid grasp of scalability, security, and integration principles; able to engage with technical leaders to resolve design or delivery challenges.
• 7+ years of combined experience in product management / product ownership / solution or product architecture for enterprise platforms.
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments and supporting squads through digital-transformation initiatives.
• Hands-on background in cloud-native and API-driven design (Azure required; MuleSoft and Databricks experience strongly preferred).
• Remote considered for strong candidates who can travel on-site periodically (at least quarterly; sometimes monthly during key planning windows).

• Opportunity to convert to full-time after ~6 months, joining a team that treats contractors as part of the culture.
• Work in a collaborative, forward-thinking IT Services organization focused on innovation, scalability, and delivering tangible business value.
