POSITION DETAILS

GTN Technical Staffing is searching for a Microsoft Web Platform Systems Architect to work in a Fortune 500 enterprise-level environment. This role will design and implement cutting edge solutions in a System Center 2012, Windows Server 2012, SQL Server 2012, SharePoint based private cloud environment. You will get to work with other, leading edge technology just out of beta testing.

The project our client needs to get over the goal line right away is an initial software upgrade/deployment which will be one of the first apps moving into their system center environment. Being the right candidate will mean that not only can you be successful on our first project but you will be able to provide longer term value as our client migrates the next round of application into the environment with increasing levels of automation. This means that initially the majority of the work will be focused on upgrading and troubleshooting a risk management software product being brought in by a third-party. The product/application is ASP.NET with a SQL Server Back End (with WebServices and Reporting Services). You will be responsible for building a lab environment and upgrading the application through each of its available versions, after which a clean production version will be built, presumably also by the resource, in the final version of the upgrades. You will be hands-on, doing implementations and upgrading the application - there are currently 400 of these applications in cue.

Our client is looking for someone very technical, very hands-on, that has a passion for staying current and on their game. You must be excited about getting your hands on the latest technology. If you are routinely selected to work with beta technologies for your current or former employers, then you are the type we are looking for. This is an enterprise-scale environment, so a background in an enterprise environment is expected. Private cloud experience (Microsoft-based) will be a huge plus.

This role requires deep understanding of Internet Information Server 7+, and ASP.NET Hosting and troubleshooting. You must have experience writing PowerShell scripts to automate server operations, not just copying prebuilt scripts from the web.

You should have demonstrated experience with SharePoint Server 2010, 2013 including architect, design and execute migration, and consolidation of existing SharePoint environments farms. Experience with architecture and design of MS SQL Server environments including multi-instance, high availability, and virtualized instances.

Bonus technical skills:

Windows Server 2012 Experience High scale Hyper-V experience EMC SAN experience Subject matter expert on one or more of our many foundational technologies with the ability to troubleshoot and performance tune these technologies. Manage and monitor server capacity planning activities. Test and implement new tools to better manage the virtual server infrastructure. Assist in planning and managing program-wide technology build, test and deployment activities for the virtualization environment. Participate in Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity planning and execution; implement disaster recovery processes and procedures in the server virtualization environment.
