Description For Director, Architecture

Fidelity Brokerage is seeking an experienced Solutions Architect to lead the architectural vision for their Wealth Management business domain. This is a strategic role that combines hands-on technical leadership with high-level solution design across multiple product areas.

The ideal candidate will drive end-to-end solution architecture for both retail investing (brokerage accounts, managed services, banking) and workplace investing (401ks, health insurance accounts) platforms. You'll be responsible for designing scalable, secure solutions that align with business priorities while working collaboratively across product teams and business units.

Key responsibilities include owning all aspects of solution architecture from security to data strategy, leading digital modernization efforts, and ensuring architectural best practices are followed. The role requires deep expertise in cloud architecture, microservices, DevSecOps, and building highly scalable systems.

Fidelity offers an excellent benefits package including 401(k) matching, comprehensive healthcare, parental leave, and student loan assistance. The role provides an opportunity to shape the technical direction of major financial platforms while working for an industry leader in financial services.

The position is hybrid, requiring onsite work every other week at one of several locations (Westlake TX, Boston MA, or Smithfield RI). You'll be joining a company known for its commitment to both technological innovation and employee development, with a strong focus on work-life balance and inclusive culture.
