  • Produce architecture deliverables (High-Level Designs, Medium-Level Designs, and diagrammatic artifacts) that are appropriate for the specific change, utilizing consistent templates and approved tools. While expertise in all architectural areas is not required, the candidate must take ownership of gathering, collating, and documenting necessary information.

Required Skills/Experience:

  • Proven knowledge of solution architecture, including its phases and the significance of architectural processes.
  • Experience in designing on-premise, cloud, and hybrid solutions, with a strong preference for Windows and Azure PaaS experience; containerization knowledge is a plus.
  • Experience in creating architecture deliverables and artifacts is essential.
  • Ability to conceptualize and logically model data, clearly representing complex ideas visually.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Familiarity with Software Delivery Lifecycles and DevOps practices is advantageous.
  • Understanding of TOGAF, Zachman, Kotusev, or similar Enterprise Architecture frameworks is preferred.
  • Knowledge of Agile methodologies (Scrum) is necessary; SAFe knowledge is also beneficial.
  • Experience with tools such as Confluence, Teams, LucidChart, and Jira is preferred.
  • Leadership and mentoring experience is a plus but not mandatory.
