DMI, LLC is seeking a Enterprise Architect to join us. The Enterprise Architect will serve as a key embedded member of our clients Rural Health Transformation Program, providing enterprise-level architectural leadership.  This role is responsible for ensuring end-to-end architectural coherence, governance integration, and sustainability across the State’s modernized health data ecosystem, with particular emphasis on data ingestion modernization, entity resolution, metadata-driven governance, DataOps maturity, and Agile/ADO integration.

The Enterprise Architect will work closely with RHTP leadership, State Enterprise Architects, program managers, and delivery teams to define and govern architectures that enable long-term modernization of the client’s statewide health data infrastructure.

Duties and Responsibilities:

1. Enterprise Governance & Agile Integration

• • Design and maintain enterprise governance architecture covering data ingestion, entity resolution, metadata, lineage, data quality, SPC/DQ, and BI workflows.
  • Establish and manage Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and Enterprise Architecture Decision Records (EADRs) tied to governance gates and evidence requirements.
  • Integrate architectural checkpoints into Azure DevOps (ADO) Agile delivery workflows.
  • Define Architecture Impact Assessments (AIAs) for schema changes, ingestion pattern updates, and ER rule modifications.
  • Create and govern Definition of Ready / Definition of Done standards aligned with compliance and auditability.
  • Lead architecture compliance reviews, release gates, and evidence validation.

2. DataOps & Ingestion Modernization

• • Define target-state architectures for modern data ingestion pipelines (batch, streaming, API-based).
  • Establish standardized ingestion patterns including resiliency, telemetry, SPC integration, and data quality enforcement.
  • Design and govern Ingestion Reliability Architecture, including MTTR and observability models.
  • Develop reusable DataOps patterns, templates, and onboarding accelerators to support embedded engineering and analytics teams.
  • Prevent architecture drift through proactive blocker-prevention patterns and schema evolution controls.

3. Entity Resolution & Data Governance Architecture

• • Lead architecture for entity resolution / master data management, including survivorship logic, match rules, and validation frameworks.
  • Define evidence-based ER metrics (precision, recall, trend analysis) and required artifacts.
  • Establish metadata and lineage quality frameworks, scoring models, and SLAs.
  • Ensure lineage propagation across ingestion → ER → semantic layer → BI.
  • Align governance tooling with statewide platforms and standards (e.g., Profisee, Purview, Data Lake services).

4. Microsoft Stack & ADO Integration

• • Architect integration across:
    • Azure DevOps (Boards, Repos, Pipelines, Wikis, Analytics)
    • SharePoint (knowledge management, evidence cataloging)
    • Power BI (executive and operational dashboards)
    • Power Automate (workflow automation and governance)
    • Microsoft Teams (collaboration and ADO integration)
  • Define ADO taxonomies and metadata models enabling end-to-end traceability from backlog → data → governance → release.
  • Design automation and workflow architectures for approvals, readiness checks, lineage validation, and compliance reporting.
  • Provide Azure resource hierarchy and cloud security architecture, including PHI/PII access models and federated governance.

5. Legacy Workflow Retirement & Transition

• • Inventory and assess legacy workflows and datasets.
  • Define transition-state architectures enabling phased migration.
  • Establish EA-governed sunsetting and decommissioning criteria, including lineage, metadata, and evidence thresholds.
  • Design cutover architectures with rollback strategies, observability, and risk mitigation.

6. Cross-Workstream EA Deliverables

• • Produce a unified Enterprise Architecture Blueprint spanning ingestion, ER, governance, DataOps, and BI.
  • Develop outcome-aligned technical roadmaps tied to sponsor strategic anchors.
  • Conduct architecture governance reviews and solution assessments.
  • Author EA runbooks, playbooks, and onboarding materials for engineers, analysts, and governance teams.
  • Create executive and stakeholder-facing deliverables, including:
    • Architecture briefings
    • Statewide alignment materials
    • “Day in the Life of Data” architecture narrative.
