What the job involves
- Define, evangelize and realize the business and technical architectures that maximize success for Ironclad, its customers, and its partners
- Enterprise Architects at Ironclad are customer-facing advisors on both technical and business architecture
- They wield deep and broad technical expertise with real-world solutions, marry this with business strategy experience and consultative skills, and serve as trusted advisors to our customers across our relationship with them, from pre-sales to deployment to operations
- As an Enterprise Architect at Ironclad, you'll work cross-functionally with our sales, product, engineering, and customer success teams to architect solutions based on the business goals of our customers, our partners, and Ironclad
- These solutions need to not just function, but also drive business value and accelerate the innovation that we are driving in the contract lifecycle management domain
- You play a critical role in driving our customers and partners to the architectures that will realize this innovation and all of its potential
- We seek experienced architects with deep technical roots in coding, integration, security, analytics and cloud computing, strong communication skills, and a strong collaborative ethic
- Our company and our customer base are both growing rapidly, and as an Ironclad Enterprise Architect you will be helping to design and build the foundational pillars of our vision for the future of contract lifecycle management

- Develop on-the-ground intelligence for the Ironclad product team on business and technical drivers that should influence our product roadmap
- Share your expertise through various Ironclad content channels, providing guidance on solution patterns for common system/process/business contexts
Our take
Business contracting is often inefficient and messy, with approvals required from various stakeholders and many processes still paper-based. Ironclad is a platform that digitises, automates, and streamlines contract workflows, allowing legal teams to focus on legal work rather than paperwork. Ironclad’s platform features collaborative tools that facilitate business operations and extract and catalog contract metadata, making information easier to access and act upon. Its enterprise customers include Dropbox, Mastercard, Pixar, Fox, and L’Oréal.
Despite its success, Ironclad faces competition in the $3 billion contract lifecycle management industry from major players like DocuSign and emerging ones like Contractbook. The company recently announced Ironclad Signature, marking its entry into the $25 billion eSignature market. The new feature speeds up the signature process by an estimated 80% and provides summaries and approval histories to users. This new tool is expected to strengthen Ironclad's position in the sell-side contract lifecycle management market.
Additionally, Ironclad introduced value-based pricing, charging only for completed, signed agreements, unlike other providers who charge for every signature packet sent out. Ironclad, backed by investors like Accel, Sequoia, Y Combinator, and BOND, remains committed to innovating and maintaining its leadership in the contract lifecycle management space.
