New Position: Web Architecture Specialist

LEAD THE WEB TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL: The Architecture Domain seeks a Web
technology evangelist and consensus-builder to help the development of
Web technology standards and their deployments across the enterprise.

Responsibilities

    * Consensus building: work with W3C Working Group Participants so
that both working groups in the Web Services activity, as well as other
W3C activities, produce Web standards that support the Web Architecture
requirements.
    * Architectural & technical leadership: provide guidance to
technical working groups in the design and evolution of Web
infrastructure, including the Web Architecture itself, or services for
the Web and the enterprise (SOAP or HTTP-only based).

The goal of the Architecture Domain is maintain and extend some of the
Core technologies of the World Wide Web, including URI/IRI, XML, Web

Schema, or WSDL. It also includes technologies for data manipulation,
with XSL Transformations, DOM, or XML Query. Our focus is to improve the
