Remote Enterprise Architecture Consultant
Most organizations don't fail because of bad ideas. They stall because their systems don't talk to each other, their tools overlap, and nobody's mapped out where the technology needs to go next. We're hiring a Remote Enterprise Architecture Consultant to fix that — someone who can look at a tangle of legacy systems and scattered platforms and turn it into an architecture that actually supports where the business is headed.
This is senior-level work. You'll be advising leadership, not waiting for direction from them.
What the Work Looks Like
You'll build enterprise architecture roadmaps that hold up over five to ten years, not just patch this quarter's problem. That means working across infrastructure, cloud platforms, and legacy systems, and figuring out what stays, what gets upgraded, and what finally gets retired. A good chunk of the role is translation — sitting between IT and finance, or IT and operations, and making sure a technical decision actually maps to a business outcome someone in the room cares about.
You'll also lead technology modernization and cloud migration efforts, build governance frameworks that keep companies compliant without slowing them down, and stay closely involved as systems move from planning into production. This isn't a role where you hand off a diagram and walk away.
- Design enterprise architecture roadmaps aligned with long-term business strategy
- Evaluate infrastructure and cloud platforms for scalability and resilience
- Lead technology modernization and cloud migration initiatives
- Build governance and compliance frameworks that support IT security
- Manage application portfolios, deciding what to retire, upgrade, or keep
Background You'll Need
We're not looking for someone building architecture experience for the first time here. You should already have led similar work, ideally in distributed or remote environments where communication has to be more deliberate.
Required
- Bachelor's degree, minimum, in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related technical field
- At least 7 years of experience in enterprise architecture, solution architecture, or systems integration
- Working knowledge of a recognized architecture framework, such as TOGAF or Zachman
- Demonstrated experience managing application portfolios and infrastructure planning
- Strong communication skills, since much of this role involves explaining technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders
- Comfort operating independently in a remote, distributed team setup
Good to Have
- Cloud certification in AWS, Azure, or GCP
- Experience with agile approaches to enterprise architecture
- Background consulting for healthcare, retail, or other regulated industries
- History of mentoring junior architects or consultants
Consultants browsing Naukri Mitra for architecture roles beyond the generic "digital transformation" listing will notice this one is specific about scope — you're not just advising; you're driving the roadmap end-to-end.
A Rough Sense of the Week
Weeks vary by client and project stage, but a typical stretch might involve a Monday sync reviewing architecture milestones, a midweek workshop walking stakeholders through changes to an operating model, and time spent troubleshooting a bottleneck slowing down a client's systems. Documentation and roadmap updates tend to close out the week. No two weeks look identical, which is part of what keeps the work interesting rather than repetitive.
Pay and Benefits
- $170,841 USD annual salary
- Fully remote work, with flexibility in how and when you get things done
- Regular team check-ins and virtual collaboration built into the workflow, so remote doesn't mean isolated
- Direct exposure to large-scale technology decisions with real, visible outcomes
Where This Role Can Lead
This isn't meant to be a terminal position. Consultants who do strong work here tend to move toward leading an entire architecture practice, mentoring newer consultants, or specializing further in infrastructure planning and enterprise modernization consulting. The trajectory depends on where your interests take you — some people go deeper technically, others move toward leading teams.
Why the Work Matters
When architecture is done well, people mostly stop noticing it — systems just work, records are easy to find, onboarding doesn't hit friction at every step. That invisibility is the point. The organizations you'd support are usually further along in scale and complexity than most, which means the fixes here tend to save real time for real teams, not just look good in a slide deck.
Applying
Send your resume along with examples of architecture work you've led — a roadmap, a migration, a governance framework, whatever best shows how you think through complex systems. We're looking for people who can explain their reasoning clearly, not just list the tools they've used. Open to remote applicants worldwide, including the United States, India, and other eligible regions.
