  • Does this role hold final architecture authority and sustained platform ownership?
  • Is expected travel at or below the 12% tolerance?
  • Can the role be performed without relocating or residing near a regional office?
  • What is the required work arrangement and residency boundary?
  • Is relocation or regional-office residency required?
  • What is the base-salary range?
  • What travel percentage and cadence are expected?
