Description
Java Middleware Solutions Architects - 2 openings
Atlanta, GA 30346 (Dunwoody/Perimeter)
1 year contract
$75-87/hr
The solutions architect is a member of the Enterprise Architecture group, and is under the general direction of the Director of Enterprise Architecture. The focus of the solutions architect is the definition of solutions for a business problem that is in-line with the enterprise context (standards, target state architecture, etc.). Solutions will contain future state segments of information, services (or whole applications), and infrastructure architecture. The solutions architect will need to work closely with enterprise architects, business analysts, systems administrators, technology architects, information security, security operations, and developers to coordinate the solution.
The Solution Architect will have a mix of advanced technology and strategic business acumen. This role requires both broad and deep technical knowledge and the ability to architect solutions by mapping product requirements and business problems to reusable end-to-end technology solutions. The Solution Architect must have hands-on experience with the development of software products, the development and implementation of large enterprise business solutions in heterogeneous environments, and demonstrated success in integrating new solutions with Legacy systems.
The Solution Architect is responsible for working with the business and technology development teams and channel architects to design solutions that are consistent within an Enterprise architecture. In that capacity, the Architect must be able to assist in high level design needed for the solution (including information, infrastructure, application, and business) and participate in the development of technically challenging portions of the solution. The Solution Architect is also challenged with maintaining a broader focus during solution design so that each solution can contribute to and share from a core service oriented architecture.
As an Information Architect, the architect will be responsible for the structural design of the shared information, shaping information products and experiences to support usability and emerging a discipline and practice focused on bringing principles of design and architecture to the entire enterprise. The information architect should be able to assimilate and add to the existing principles of design and architecture.
