Ally and Your Career

Ally Financial only succeeds when its people do - and that’s more than some cliché people put on job postings. We live this stuff! We see our people as, well, people - with interests, families, friends, dreams, and causes that are all important to them. Our focus is on the health and safety of our teammates as well as work-life balance and diversity and inclusion. From generous benefits to a variety of employee resource groups, we strive to build paths that encourage employees to stretch themselves professionally. We want to help you grow, develop, and learn new things. You’re constantly evolving, so shouldn’t your opportunities be, too?

The Opportunity

At Ally, you get a startup feel, but experience the benefits of a company that’s worked out the kinks and is fulfilling its purpose. We’re always evolving and see that as a good thing. From owning our work to seeing its impact in the real world, our team is relentless in finding new ways technology can help make experiences better and help people. We are problem solvers, we value diverse thinking, we support one another, and we challenge ourselves to think bigger in the journey to deliver customer-obsessed tech solutions.

The Principal Architect is at the core of Ally Financial technology solutions, laying the foundation for the experiences that facilitate interactions with thousands of daily users. Leveraging their expertise in business architecture strategy, they lead a team that builds, plans, designs, and delivers technology solutions that shape Ally’s current and future technology landscape.

  • Serve as a mentor for other architects and peers to help them grow in their technical responsibilities and remove blockers
  • Interface regularly with business partners to share insights and build consensus on the most competitive architecture direction
  • Protect Ally customers by guiding delivery teams in the implementation of Ally standard requirements, security standards, methodology and processes
  • Represent the architecture practice—its ideals, standards, and methods—as an advocate, leading contributor, and subject matter expert to influence product enhancements that drive adoption and inspire client loyalty

The Skills You Bring

  • 5+ years of Enterprise Architecture experience with a focus on user experience, organizing/conducting/analyzing quantitative or qualitative research, and recommending design-oriented solutions
  • Strong communication skills with ability to communicate complex technical concepts and align cross-functional organizations around architecture decisions
  • Passion for creating value for both internal and external Ally users, and enthusiasm for Agile processes that help develop these products
  • Expertise in software development processes, specifically within the IT Architecture and Infrastructure space
  • Desire to work within a diverse group of people and passion for challenging the status quo
