Job Description
Enterprise Application Architect responsible for designing and governing scalable applications at MetLife Legal Plans. Collaborating with teams to align solutions with strategic goals.

- Create 3-year roadmaps aligning Line of Business strategic and tactical needs with modern enterprise architecture.
- Define and maintain application architecture standards and patterns consistent with MetLife best practices.
- Own reporting for Enterprise Application Inventory.
- Contribute to broader MetLife Enterprise Architecture community in developing standards and supporting architectural governance.
- Lead migration strategy from monolithic applications to a microservice architecture, ensuring modularity, scalability, faster/parallel development cycles, easier roll-back and patching, and reduced deployment risk.
- Embed automated remediation in application architecture: actions such as container restarts, failover, or scaling executed via orchestration tools (e.g., Kubernetes) must be factored into future state designs.
- Create application resilience by design: future state architectures must have built-in redundancy, be fault-tolerant, and support “self-healing” by leveraging continuous monitoring, anomaly detection, and rule-driven automated responses.
- Design solutions using ReactJS for front-end, Django for back-end, and PostgreSQL for persistence.
- Define API-driven architecture and REST/GraphQL integration.
- Design secure, performant communication between client and server.
- Embed authentication flows (JWT, OAuth) and session management.
- Establish UI/UX guidelines leveraging Material UI for consistency and accessibility.
- Create component-based designs and UI/UX best practices.
- Design scalable, reusable UI components aligned with enterprise branding.
- Embed state management (Redux, Context API) and performance optimization for large-scale apps.
- Define application data architectures that support downstream business intelligence and analytics.
- Apply advanced SQL, indexing, and query optimization.
- Support data modeling for relational systems and handling of large datasets.
- Implement ACID compliance (Atomic, Consistent, Isolated Durable) transaction architecture, and scalability strategies.
- Ensure data models and workflows enable transaction auditability and compliance reporting.
- Embed data governance principles into application design to maintain integrity and traceability across services.
- Collaborate with business stakeholders to understand product and service offerings.
- Translate business processes into data-driven rules and automated workflows.
- Ensure architecture supports business intelligence, analytics, and decision automation.
- Ensure seamless integration with enterprise systems, APIs, and third-party services.
- Define API-first design principles and implement secure, reusable services.
- Implement best practices for application security, including OWASP standards.
- Optimize application performance across front-end and back-end layers.
- Partner with product and engineering teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
- Mentor developers on architectural principles, microservices design, and coding standards.
- Enforce coding standards, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing frameworks.
- Ensure compliance with enterprise security and regulatory requirements.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in CS, MIS, or equivalent required.
- 10+ years’ experience building web applications, ideally with experience in both small and large companies.
- Prior experience in Microservices Architecture.
- Ability to break up larger application repositories into microservices.
- Prior significant exposure to MaterialUI / ReactJS, Django ORM / Framework, PostgreSQL / Redshift.
- Prior experience in software development and systems architecture.
- Experience leading enterprise system architecture and interfacing with product and design functions.
- Ability to effectively cross-collaborate with internal and external stakeholders.
- Familiarity with modern web development tools and frameworks, including AWS and Azure.
