The Role

Design end-to-end enterprise architectures, translate business strategy into actionable blueprints, select and integrate major platforms (Aladdin, SAP, CRM), identify integration risks, collaborate with stakeholders, and document architectural standards to ensure security, performance, and scalability in complex, regulated environments.

Summary Generated by Built In

CompassX is a boutique business and technology consulting firm. We help Fortune 500 and high-growth clients deliver their most strategic initiatives, from enterprise transformations to digital and data-driven projects. With over 15 years of proven results, we’ve expanded across industries including financial services, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, consumer products, and quick service restaurants.

We are honored to be recognized as a three-time winner of Consulting Magazine’s Best Boutique Firms to Work For, and previously recognized as a “Best Place to Work” in Southern California and one of INC.’s 5000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S.

As a Solution Architect, you bridge the gap between visionary ideas and rock-solid enterprise systems, designing end-to-end architectures that actually work in complex, real-world environments. You’ll partner closely with business and technology leaders to turn future-state plans into integrated, scalable platforms that are resilient, secure, and ready for growth.

What You'll Do

What You’ll Do

Own the overall architecture for key initiatives, ensuring that future-state designs are technically viable and fully integrated across existing platforms and ecosystems.

Translate business strategies and “north star” visions into actionable architectural blueprints, roadmaps, and sequencing of projects.

Evaluate and select specific enterprise tools (for example, CRD, SAP, Aladdin or similar platforms) and define how they interact, exchange data, and enforce controls end-to-end.

Create conceptual and logical architectures, perform feasibility checks, and proactively identify integration risks before they become production issues.

Collaborate with engineers, product owners, and business stakeholders to align solution design, delivery timelines, and technical constraints.

Champion system integrity, performance, and security, ensuring that new solutions fit cleanly into legacy stacks and high-complexity environments such as financial services.

Document key decisions, architectural standards, and patterns so teams can build and operate solutions consistently.

Stay current on platform capabilities and emerging technologies, bringing informed recommendations on how to modernize, simplify, or consolidate systems over time.

What You'll Bring

Strong background in specialized architecture, ideally having grown from roles such as business systems analyst into a platform-focused architect.

Deep expertise with at least one major enterprise platform (e.g., investment management, Aladdin, CRM, or core financial systems) and a practical understanding of its functional constraints and integration patterns.

Proven ability to design conceptual architectures for complex, multi-system environments and to perform rigorous feasibility and impact assessments.

Experience working in high-complexity, high-regulation verticals (such as financial services) and navigating legacy technology stacks without breaking critical operations.

Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain trade-offs, risks, and design decisions clearly to both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders.

A problem-solving mindset that focuses on system integrity, maintainability, and long-term scalability rather than just “getting it to work” today.

Collaborative working style, comfortable influencing without authority and partnering across engineering, product, operations, and business leadership.

Curiosity and adaptability, with a desire to continuously deepen your platform knowledge and architectural craft in a fast-evolving technology landscape.

Benefits

Competitive salary with performance-based bonus

PTO, holidays, and sabbatical program

Health, dental, vision, and life insurance

Retirement plan with company match from day one

Learning and professional development support

Small-firm culture with direct access to leadership

Our consultants say CompassX is a place where they can truly find their own path. As part of a smaller firm, they see the impact of their work, have an identity, and know their voice matters. They value the freedom to take the reins of their careers, shape their client work, and maintain a direct line to leadership.

With CompassX’s focus on serving local Southern California clients, consultants not only build lasting relationships but also see the results of their work in the communities where they live.

At CompassX, you won’t just follow a path - you’ll create one.
