Job Description
This role is structured as a close partnership with the PGIM Chief Architect and the PGIM Architecture team. The consultant will not own every area listed below end-to-end but will actively contribute to planning, drive execution, and absorb day-to-day responsibilities currently managed by the PGIM Architecture team.
Key Responsibilities:
- Architecture Center of Excellence (CoE) Operations: Partner in the preparation and facilitation of the PGIM Architecture CoE, including agenda development, content curation, presenter coordination, follow-up tracking, and ongoing operationalization of the council in alignment with the PGIM One Realignment.
- Reference Architectures and Standards Authoring: Co-author and maintain PGIM-specific reference architectures, design patterns, guidelines, and best practices for Azure, .NET, Microsoft Fabric, Power Platform, and integration scenarios. Codify these as structured artifacts and Markdown optimized for consumption by coding agents, including Claude Code, MCP-aware tooling, and IDE-integrated assistants, enabling agent-driven adoption of PGIM standards directly within developer workflows.
- Architecture Strategy and CTO Alignment: Help strengthen the connection between PGIM affiliate architecture teams and the central CTO Enterprise Architecture function by supporting alignment, reducing duplication, and accelerating shared decision-making.
- Application Modernization Architecture: Contribute to solution architecture and design for new and modernized platforms built on Azure, Microsoft Fabric, and Power Platform. Support affiliates including Fixed Income, Private Capital, Real Estate, Jennison, Quantitative Solutions, and Global Wealth/Investments.
- AI Strategy and Enablement: Provide technical expertise across PGIM's AI capabilities, including Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Power Platform Copilot, Copilot Studio, and agentic platform patterns. Help shape enterprise guidance around responsible AI adoption, model selection, and reusable AI building blocks.
- Data Platform Architecture: Provide architectural guidance across Microsoft Fabric, including OneLake, Lakehouse, Data Factory, and F1 capabilities, as well as Microsoft Purview, Cosmos DB, Azure SQL, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, and ADLS Gen2. Help affiliates advance Fabric maturity, domain activation, and governance rollout.
- Developer Experience and SDLC AI Integration: Co-author the AI strategy for developer and architecture SDLC processes by integrating common CTO tooling such as GitHub, Terraform, Claude Code, Azure DevOps, and Dynatrace with internal platforms to deliver a cohesive and productive developer experience.
- Skills, MCPs, and Reusable Assets: Develop Claude Skills, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, prompt libraries, and reusable automation components. Mentor engineering and architecture teams on adopting these assets and contributing back to a shared catalog.
- Engineering and Architecture Council Support: Support the Engineering Council and Architecture Council as an active contributor, helping ensure bi-directional information flow between architectural intent and engineering execution.
- EARB Submission Support: Assist with the preparation, review, and shepherding of EARB submissions on behalf of PGIM, including technical write-ups, architecture diagrams, and follow-up artifacts.
- Team Engagement and Office Hours: Conduct regular office hours and direct engagement sessions with affiliate development teams to provide architectural guidance, unblock design decisions, and review proposed solutions. Help absorb engagement responsibilities currently handled directly by the PGIM Chief Architect.
- Documentation and Knowledge Management: Produce and maintain architecture documentation in Confluence and Markdown, ensuring artifacts remain current, discoverable, version-controlled, and consumable by both humans and coding agents.
