Enterprise Architect - Internal Business Systems

Join Formlabs if you want to bring ground-breaking professional 3D printers to the desktop of every designer, engineer, researcher, and artist in the world.

As a hands on (in the code) Solutions Architect at Formlabs, you will be a strategic technical leader within the Systems Department, reporting directly to the CIO. You will function as a broad enterprise architect with a "builder" mindset, ensuring we have a cohesive strategy for our tech stack, integrations, and built-in-house engineering principles. You will act as a consultative partner to our Digital, Financial, and Data systems teams, driving technical options and making the hard trade-off decisions on our most complex initiatives.

You will be joining the Systems team, which enables Formlabs teams with enterprise applications, infrastructure, data, and security to do their best work. The team supports all areas of the company and has team members globally.

This is a high-impact role for a technical leader who is not afraid to get hands-on with code and architecture. This role is based in our Somerville, MA office and will be a hybrid role with the expectation of at least 3 days a week in office.

The Job:

Architecture & Strategy: Define and drive the "go-forward" technology strategy for our tech stack, specifically focusing on how our core platforms (Salesforce, NetSuite, Shopify) interact with custom applications and data layers.

Solution Design: Partner consultatively with delivery teams (Financial Systems, Digital Systems, Data) to design scalable, secure, and robust solutions for major initiatives, such as our eCommerce migration and ERP optimizations.

Hands-on Engineering: Drive options and prototypes by getting hands-on with the code. You will build proofs-of-concept and establish architectural patterns using Python, GCP, and containerized applications.

Integration Governance: Own the decision-making for architecture trade-offs. While you will work primarily as a partner to build consensus, you will hold the authority to make the final call on technical decisions to ensure long-term system stability and scalability.

Built-in-House Principles: Establish and enforce engineering principles for our custom applications and automations, moving the department toward building efficiently and maintaining less.

Automation Tech: Lead the discovery and architectural adoption of new toolsets, including AI supported workflows and modern integration middleware.

You:

Hybrid Technical Background: You possess a unique blend of core Software Engineering experience (Python, API design) and Enterprise Systems experience (understanding how ERP, CRM, and eCommerce systems transact).

Integration Expertise: Proven experience designing enterprise integration patterns and middleware strategies in a complex landscape. You understand when to use an IPaaS, when to build a custom microservice, and when to use point-to-point APIs.

Cloud Native: Deep hands-on experience with GCP (or AWS/Azure) and modern deployment practices, including Docker and Kubernetes .

Platform Knowledge: Functional and technical familiarity with our core business stack: Salesforce , NetSuite , and Shopify .

Data Proficiency: Strong working knowledge of SQL and data warehousing principles (experience with BigQuery is a strong plus).

Consultative & Decisive: You are an excellent listener who can partner with various stakeholders to find the best solution, but you are confident enough to make firm technical decisions when consensus cannot be reached.

Bachelors degree or higher in engineering or a related field

Bonus Points:

Experience with AI tooling implementation (LLMs, RAG, Agents) in an enterprise context

Experience with Gearset or similar DevOps tools for Salesforce.

Familiarity with Data Engineering concepts (ETL/ELT, Airbyte).

Background in Security architecture and Vulnerability Management.
