Banyan Software is the best permanent home for software businesses that serve specialized industries, their employees, and their customers. With a buy-grow-and-hold-for-life approach and a permanent capital base, Banyan acquires and grows companies worldwide, honoring founder legacies and helping portfolio companies modernize through shared AI expertise and operational discipline. Founded in 2016, Banyan operates more than 120 portfolio companies across North and South America, Europe, and APAC, and has appeared on the Inc. 5000 list for six consecutive years. The Banyan Software Foundation, endowed with $100 million in Banyan stock, leverages technology to build a greener and more equitable world.
The Enterprise Architect is a senior technology leader responsible for defining and evolving the enterprise architecture of Banyan HQ. You will own the current-state and target-state architecture for our corporate technology stack, and build the roadmaps, standards, and integration patterns that let a fast-growing, acquisition-driven organization scale without accumulating complexity.
We are building an AI-native enterprise: one where AI is not bolted on after the fact, but designed into our systems, data, workflows, and infrastructure from the start. This role is central to that ambition. It combines hands-on architecture leadership across identity, collaboration, business systems, and data platforms with ownership of the AI infrastructure and architectural foundations that make intelligent, agent-ready systems possible across HQ.
Key ResponsibilitiesEnterprise Architecture
- Architecture Strategy & Roadmaps: Define and maintain current-state and target-state architecture for HQ systems, and build transition roadmaps that align technology investment with business goals.
- Standards & Governance: Establish architecture principles, reference patterns, and technology standards. Run a lightweight review process that guides decisions without slowing teams down.
- Integration Architecture: Design and govern integrations across our core stack (Microsoft 365 and collaboration suites, Okta, NetSuite, Salesforce, Slack, Zoom, and related SaaS platforms), ensuring reliable data flow and clean system boundaries.
- Security & Zero-Trust Partnership: Work closely with the Director, Security to achieve our zero-trust network vision and architect the platforms that support it, including MDM, Zscaler VPN/ZTNA, and endpoint security, embedding our cloud-first, zero-trust, no-footprint principles into every architectural decision.
