Senior Staff Technology Architect

YOU'RE technically A visionary.

The Opportunity

You don't just design systems — you shape how technology enables an entire organization to move forward.

As a Senior Staff Technology Architect, you'll play a critical leadership role in defining and executing AMA's enterprise architecture strategy across software development, integration, data, infrastructure, AI, and security. Reporting to the Principal Software Architect and working closely with other technology leaders and business stakeholders, you'll translate architectural vision into execution paths that support AMA's strategic goals.

This is a unique opportunity to operate at the intersection of strategy, architecture, research, and delivery — influencing direction, mentoring leaders, and ensuring AMA's platforms are scalable, secure, and future-ready.
