This role is an internal ISG Architecture development and enablement role, focused on building and evolving architecture governance, risk, and analysis tooling used by ISG Architecture and its partner teams across Super Departments.The "Forward Deployed" aspect refers to deep, hands‐on engagement with internal stakeholders and architecture processes, not client products or external delivery. The outputs of this role are internal tools, platforms, patterns, and governance mechanisms, not customer‐facing applications.This role exists to help the architecture function adapt governance to the speed and volatility introduced by GenAI, while remaining audit‐secure, principled, and scalable.Must HaveBuild small services, scripts, CLIs, and internal utilitiesComfortable with REST APIs, JSON, async workflowsCan connect backend logic to lightweight UIs, notebooks, portals, or CLIsSystems and data integration mindsetPull data from APIs, documents, tickets, repositories, and architecture artifactsCombine structured, semi-structured, and unstructured inputsSecure handling of credentials and sensitive internal dataExpectedHeavy, responsible use of AI coding assistantsStrong human‐in‐the‐loop disciplineReviews and validates AI‐generated outputUses AI to accelerate thinking and execution, not replace judgmentPragmatic use of LLMs for governance enablementSurfacing governance signals and inconsistenciesAssisting with evidencing and analysis, not making autonomous decisionsArchitecture, Governance & Risk AwarenessElevatedSolid understanding of: Architecture principles, standards, patterns,
