We are AMS, a global leader in total workforce solutions, dedicated to empowering organizations to excel in an ever-evolving landscape by constructing, reshaping, and optimizing workforces. Our Contingent Workforce Solutions (CWS) collaborate with prominent partners to facilitate contingent recruitment.

Our client is a well-regarded financial institution, recognized for its straightforward and accessible banking and insurance offerings tailored to meet customer needs. They prioritize customer satisfaction and loyalty, believing that small gestures can lead to significant impacts.

Role Overview

The organization is initiating a significant greenfield separation initiative, transitioning its financial services and insurance operations from traditional on-premises and cloud environments to a modern Azure platform. They are seeking four Technical Architects with diverse expertise for this transformative project, including:

  • Data Solutions Architect (AWS/Azure, Python, Databricks)
  • Security Architect
  • Network Architect
  • Infrastructure Architect

Important Considerations:
1. As this is a new initiative, initial workshops will be conducted to define the project scope. The role will initially require presence in designated offices, with remote work flexibility available post-workshops.
2. The initial contract duration is limited, with the potential for extension, as this is a long-term program offering substantial opportunities for growth.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop scalable, reliable, and secure technical solutions that align with the overarching architectural strategy of the greenfield initiative.
  • Participate in the migration of systems from traditional and cloud environments to Azure, ensuring seamless transitions and optimal performance.
  • Provide technical leadership and guidance to development teams, ensuring adherence to best practices and architectural standards.
  • Engage in workshops to define the project's scope, objectives, and architectural direction, offering expert insights and recommendations.
  • Facilitate the integration of various systems and platforms, promoting interoperability and efficient data flow.
  • Monitor and optimize technical solutions for performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness on the Azure platform.
  • Ensure compliance of all technical solutions with relevant security standards and regulatory requirements.
  • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for technical architectures, processes, and guidelines to support knowledge sharing and governance.
  • Collaborate closely with other architects, engineers, and stakeholders to ensure cohesive and integrated solutions that meet business requirements.
  • Stay informed about the latest industry trends and technologies, incorporating innovative solutions to enhance the project's architecture.

Candidate Profile: Key Skills & Experience

Each position requires substantial experience in a similar role within a comparable organization. The skillsets will vary across the four available roles.

  • Strong background in system architecture, including data architecture, network/infrastructure architecture, or security architecture.
  • Proficiency in programming and scripting languages commonly utilized in cloud environments.
  • Experience with integration technologies and methodologies.
  • Expertise in optimizing technical solutions for performance and cost-effectiveness on cloud platforms.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, capable of conveying complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, focused on delivering high-quality technical solutions.
  • Proven capability to work collaboratively in a team environment, effectively managing multiple stakeholders and priorities.
  • A proactive approach to learning and applying new technologies and methodologies to enhance technical solutions.
