Full Job Description

As a Senior Staff IT Enterprise Architect, you will play a key role in establishing and maturing AppFolio's integration and architecture capabilities within Business Systems. Acting as a strategic advisor and technical leader, you will guide the design and evolution of secure, scalable solutions that support AppFolio's growth and long-term objectives.

You will translate business priorities into pragmatic architectural decisions by assessing current-state capabilities, defining target-state approaches, and establishing the standards and patterns that enable teams to deliver with consistency and confidence. Your work will span enterprise applications, system integrations, and emerging AI-enabled workflows, partnering closely with stakeholders across Business Systems, Engineering, Data, Security, and the business.

You will also serve as the primary authority for Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) architectural reviews, ensuring proposed technology investments are evaluated through sound architectural governance and risk assessment. Through influence, collaboration, and trusted relationships, you will help move AppFolio from tribal knowledge to trusted infrastructure.

Responsibilities

Enterprise Integration Architecture & Strategy

Assess current-state integrations, dependencies, and architectural patterns across the enterprise application landscape.
Define target-state architectures and pragmatic transition roadmaps for enterprise applications and integrations.
Establish and maintain architecture principles, reference architectures, and design patterns that promote scalability and consistency.
Design scalable, secure, resilient integration solutions that support evolving business needs.
Define integration guidance across APIs, events, batch processing, orchestration, and automation capabilities.
Identify opportunities to simplify architectures, reduce technical debt, and improve maintainability.

Architecture Governance & TPRM

Serve as the primary architect for Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) architecture reviews.
Evaluate proposed technology initiatives for alignment with enterprise standards, security requirements, and architectural principles.
Develop lightweight governance processes that enable speed while maintaining appropriate controls.
Document architecture decisions through Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and related artifacts.
Participate in Architecture Review Board activities and represent Business Systems architecture perspectives.

Integration & Platform Leadership

Define standards and decision frameworks across AppFolio's integration platforms, including MuleSoft, AWS, Workato, and emerging technologies.
Recommend appropriate integration patterns based on business requirements and non-functional needs.
Promote modern integration practices including API-first design, event-driven architectures, serverless capabilities, and reusable services.
Partner with engineering teams to improve observability, reliability, and supportability of integrations.
Provide guidance on platform selection and architectural tradeoffs.

AI Enablement & Emerging Technologies

Partner with cross-functional teams to assess and prioritize AI-enabled use cases within Business Systems.
Advise teams on architectural considerations related to AI capabilities, including data readiness, integration patterns, and operational considerations.
Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend practical applications aligned to business objectives.
Support the transition of AI initiatives from experimentation to production readiness in alignment with evolving governance practices.

Cross-Functional Leadership & Influence

Facilitate architecture discovery and strategy sessions with technical and business stakeholders.
Translate complex technical concepts into clear recommendations for diverse audiences.
Build trusted partnerships across Business Systems, Engineering, Security, Data, Product, and business teams.
Establish the artifacts, operating rhythms, and decision frameworks necessary to mature the Enterprise Architecture capability within Business Systems.
Influence technology direction through evidence-based recommendations and collaborative decision-making.
Mentor team members and elevate architectural thinking across the organization.

Qualifications

10+ years of experience in software engineering, integration architecture, enterprise applications, or related technical leadership roles, including experience leading complex cross-functional initiatives and influencing architectural direction across multiple teams.
8+ years designing and delivering enterprise integration solutions within complex environments.
Experience developing architecture standards, integration patterns, and technical guidance across multiple platforms.
Experience architecting or supporting AI-enabled capabilities, with an understanding of the architectural considerations associated with large language models, agentic workflows, and enterprise data integration.
Hands-on experience with enterprise integration technologies such as MuleSoft, AWS, Workato, Boomi, or similar platforms.
Experience facilitating architecture reviews and evaluating proposed solutions against established principles.
Strong understanding of API-led connectivity, event-driven architecture, and modern integration approaches.
Experience leading cross-functional initiatives and influencing decisions without direct authority.
Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills.
Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in ambiguity and drive outcomes independently.

Preferred

Experience building or maturing architecture practices within high-growth SaaS organizations.
Familiarity with architecture frameworks such as TOGAF, Zachman, or similar approaches applied pragmatically.
Exposure to data architecture concepts including data governance, lineage, and modern data platform patterns.
Experience participating in Architecture Review Boards or governance forums.
Familiarity with DevOps practices, observability concepts, and infrastructure-as-code principles.
Experience working with globally distributed teams.
