Enterprise Architecture. Your whole job is to maintain spreadsheets and diagrams that don’t change often, attend meetings with solution architects to work through integration points, and draft reference architecture patterns. You need to understand a lot about tech and a little about business and it does tend to be a more senior role. The pay is awesome though, and I do maybe 5 hours of real work a week. Pure technology work of the form you describe is the realm of offshore. It has very little value to the company so they generally aren’t willing to pay for someone in a country with a high cost of living. If you do find a job like this, expect it to be offshored when the company wises up. EA is a good mix of needing a technical background but also being in a position that is highly variable by company and not easily outsourced.
