Description
About Us:
At Liatrio, we enable real transformation. We help industry-leading enterprises break free from legacy systems and adopt AI that reshapes how teams build, deliver, and thrive at scale.
We partner directly with enterprise teams to embed AI-native practices into delivery by accelerating modernization, reducing risk, and shipping production-grade AI systems that set the standard for the industry.
Our people embed directly inside client organizations, leading hands-on AI enablement and transformations that reshape how entire enterprises build and operate at scale.
If you’re ready to lead real AI transformation, this is where you belong.
About the Role:
The Principal Application Modernization Architect is one of the most senior technical roles at Liatrio. You are accountable for the strategic technical direction of major engagements — setting the architectural vision, shaping how we engage, and ensuring that what we deliver creates lasting change for our clients.
You are the person in the room who sees the full picture — the technical debt, the organizational dynamics, the business constraints, and the path forward — and can articulate that clearly to a CTO or Chief Architect while simultaneously guiding a team of engineers to execute against it. You earn trust at the executive level by being right, being credible, and delivering.
What You'll Do:
Enterprise Technical Strategy and Architecture
Set and own the architectural direction for major client engagements — defining the modernization strategy, target architecture, sequencing, and guardrails that keep delivery aligned to business outcomes
Partner with the Strategic Principal to shape SOWs, working directly with C-suite, CTO, CIO, and Chief Architect stakeholders to align technical strategy with organizational goals
Lead architectural design across one or more technical domains — full-stack application development, cloud-native platforms, AI integration — and evolve Liatrio's point of view as the industry changes
Architect enterprise solutions that reduce technical debt while balancing constraints of time, budget, risk, and organizational readiness — and communicate those tradeoffs clearly to executive stakeholders
Anticipate where engagements are heading before others do — surfacing risks, identifying opportunities, and proactively shaping strategy before problems become crises
Participate in scoping discussions and SOW architecture for new and existing customers
Client Relationship and Influence
Build and maintain deep, trusted relationships with CTO, CIO, Chief Architect, and VP-level technical stakeholders — the kind of relationships where clients call you before making major technical decisions
Guide clients through complex, politically charged modernization efforts — removing organizational impediments, building consensus across competing stakeholders, and keeping transformation on track when it gets hard
Share industry insight, anticipate technology shifts, and position Liatrio as a forward-thinking partner
Influence organizational culture and engineering practices at client organizations, helping them build the internal capabilities to sustain transformation after Liatrio is gone
Delivery Oversight and Technical Leadership
Provide technical oversight across multiple workstreams — accountable for the quality, coherence, and strategic alignment of everything your team delivers
Integrate AI and LLM capabilities into client modernization strategies — agentic workflows, intelligent automation, AI-augmented engineering — ensuring those capabilities are production-grade and maintainable
Guide and collaborate with both Liatrio and client architects and engineers, elevating the technical quality of the engagement as a whole
Support the sales team in client expansion conversations and validate the technical feasibility of proposed work
Leverage Liatrio's accumulated insights to create accelerators, methodologies, and intellec
