Technology Architect

Maintain and ensure the coherence of IESE's current technological architecture, while defining the institution's new target architecture, incorporating the capabilities offered by current technologies and new development models based on artificial intelligence and low-code. Ensuring that applications, platforms, integrations, and technological services form a coherent, integrated, scalable ecosystem aligned with the needs and strategy of the institution.

The Technology Architect will be responsible for establishing architectural principles and standards, supporting key technological decisions, leading the technical team under their responsibility, and ensuring that the evolution of systems reduces complexity, technical debt, and unnecessary dependencies.

Likewise, they will play a key role in the evolution of the department's value proposition, driving the adoption of artificial intelligence and low-code platforms as levers to increase speed, autonomy, and the capacity to generate solutions both within BIDS and by users from other areas.

They will report directly to the CIO.

• Define and maintain the target technological architecture and its evolution roadmap.

• Establish technological principles, standards, and patterns for applications, integrations, platforms, and development.

• Evaluate key technological decisions and ensure their coherence with the global architecture.

• Participate in the technical definition of new projects and solutions from their initial phases.

• Ensure correct integration between internal and external applications, platforms, and services.

• Identify and propose the elimination of technical debt, redundancies, and obsolete technological components.

• Promote simple, modular, maintainable, and scalable architectures.

• Define criteria for the selection and incorporation of new technologies and platforms.

• Evaluate implications for architecture, integration, security, data, operation, and maintenance in new solutions.
