Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.\nThis role is a horizontal architect position for HR Technology.

You are responsible for the North Star architecture of 3rd party systems across multiple HR domains and vendors.\nWhat You’ll Do\n1. Architect the HR Tech Ecosystem\n North Star & Strategy\nDefine and maintain the target architecture for HR technology across domains\n\nDevelop a multi-year (≈2+ years) architecture roadmap describing how HR systems, integrations, and data models evolve to support business strategy (e.g., growth, new markets, workforce models).\n\n3P + 1P Boundary Setting\nDetermine what capabilities sit in 3P platforms versus 1P services.\n\nDecide when to leverage vendor capabilities versus building differentiated 1P experiences.\n\nAssess when to consolidate, sunset, or introduce vendors.\n\nEstablish guardrails for configuration vs customization vs 1P extensions within HR platforms.\n\n Standardization & Paved Roads\nEstablish and own standard patterns for:\nHR data models (e.g. positions, organizations, compensation, locations).\n\nIntegrations (APIs, events, batch, and file-based, where necessary).\n\nIdentity, entitlements, and access control across HR systems.\n\nDeliver “out-of-the-box” solutions and reusable templates to minimize one-off integrations and fragile implementations.\n\n Foundational Systems\nLead the architecture of foundational HR systems and services that serve as horizontal sources of truth (e.g., worker master, job catalog, HR events).\n\nEnsure these systems meet requirements for completeness, correctness, timeliness, and auditability to support HR and downstream Finance/Compliance needs.\n\n2. Data Architecture (Horizontal Across Domains)\nData Ownership & Lineage\nDefine golden sources for HR entities and how data flows into analytics, Finance, Security, and other consumers.\n\nEnsure HR data is traceable, auditable, and explainable from original source to reporting and downstream usage.\n\nNon-Functional Requirements Embedded\nEmbed security, privacy, and regulatory requirements directly into the architecture, including:\nRegional data residency and cross-border data transfer considerations.\n\nRole-based access controls and least-privilege principles.\n\nEmployee privacy expectations and internal policies.\n\nPartner with Security, Privacy, and Legal to convert these requirements into repeatable technical patterns rather than ad-hoc process overlays.\n\n3. Decision-Making, Stakeholder Management & Influence\nEngage with Talent and cross functional partners to understand processes, pain points, and risk areas\n\nTranslate business outcomes into solution architectures that are sustainable, maintainable, and aligned with long-term strategy, not just limited by immediate tool configuration options.\n\nInfluence\nProvide architectural direction to engineering teams building 1P services and integrations.\n\nReview solution designs and identify approaches that conflict with the target architecture.\n\nEnable vertical/domain teams to focus on business needs by ensuring the horizontal foundations are robust and well-defined.\n\nRepresent the HR architecture to 3P vendors and partners.\n\nEvaluate and, where necessary, challenge vendor proposals that increase complexity, create lock-in, or duplicate existing 1P capabilities without clear benefit.\n\nMaking Trade-Offs\nMake explicit, documented decisions on:\nShort-term HR needs versus long-term ecosystem health and simplification.\n\nLevel of customization versus maintainability, scalability, and upgradeability.\n\nDocument decisions and rationale and be prepared to revisit them when new evidence emerges.\n\n4. Execution & Ownership\nIdentify opportunities to rationalize redundant tools, platforms, and integrations.\n\nPropose and lead decommissioning efforts for low-value, high-cost, or overlapping components.\n\nChampion an architectural approach that reduces complexity, improves reliability, and lowers total cost of ownership across the HR technology landscape.\n\nMinimum Qualifications\n8-12+ years in enterprise engineering/architecture roles, with significant time as a Solutions / HR Tech / ERP architector equivalent.\n\nHands-on experience architecting ecosystems with multiple 3P HR systems and custom 1P services.\n\nDeep understanding of at least one major HCM or HR suite (Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM, etc.), including integrations and extension patterns.\n\nUnderstanding of Modern integration patterns and data modeling for people/HR domains, and security, privacy, and compliance expectations around employee data.\n\nDemonstrated ability to operate as a horizontal architectserving multiple teams.\n\nInfluence and challenge senior stakeholders (HR, Eng, vendors) with clear, data-driven arguments.\n\nMake non-obvious architectural trade-offs and live with the consequences.\n\nGenerally, our compensation structure consists solely of an annual salary; we do not have bonuses.
