The work centers on defining target-state architecture, setting technology strategy, governing standards, and guiding engineering teams through modernization efforts. Suited to a seasoned architect with deep experience in complex, regulated enterprise environments and a background spanning cloud platforms, security frameworks, and automation practices such as CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code.

Why we read it this way (7)
No work location is specified in the posting — the CBSA and state fields are left blank. The role is listed as a regular (not temporary) full-time position at Truist Financial, a US-based company, so the US-based flag of true is assumed.
This role sits at the intersection of Enterprise Architecture and Information Security (CIAM, Fraud, AML domains), making SOC classification genuinely ambiguous. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the primary code because 'Enterprise Architect' is not cleanly captured by any single listed SOC; 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is the runner-up given the heavy security-domain focus.
The title carries no seniority level word, so the title states no level. However, the 12+ year minimum and enterprise-wide scope firmly support a Senior classification — not Staff or Principal, as the JD describes leading within a domain rather than setting org-wide technical direction across all of engineering.
Architecture frameworks (TOGAF, Zachman), security certifications (CISSP, ISSAP, CISM), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), microservices, and regulatory frameworks (NIST, PCI-DSS, FFIEC, SOX, GLBA, etc.) all appear exclusively under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
Policy as Code and Architecture as Code are mentioned in the responsibilities narrative rather than as named tools/products, so they are not emitted as discrete skills. CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code are the concrete technology patterns named in that same section and are captured as preferred (narrative context, not a requirements gate).
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): enterprise architecture.
