Job Description

The Systems Solutions Architect is a senior technical role responsible for designing secure, resilient, scalable, and cost-effective infrastructure solutions across Microsoft Azure and enterprise data center environments. Working closely with customers, business leaders, security, operations, and engineering teams, this role translates business and technical requirements into practical hybrid-cloud architectures. The Architect provides technical leadership throughout the solution lifecycle, including discovery, assessment, design, migration, implementation oversight, operational transition, and continuous optimization. This position requires deep expertise in Azure architecture as well as strong hands-on knowledge of data center technologies, networking, virtualization, identity, storage, backup, disaster recovery, and infrastructure automation.

Responsibilities

Key Job Responsibilities:

• Lead the architecture and design of secure, resilient, scalable, and cost-effective Azure, data center, and hybrid infrastructure solutions.
• Conduct technical discovery, current-state assessments, dependency analysis, capacity reviews, and infrastructure readiness evaluations.
• Develop target-state architectures, migration strategies, modernization roadmaps, high-level designs, low-level designs, diagrams, standards, and implementation guidance.
• Design Azure landing zones, subscription models, network topologies, identity integrations, governance controls, monitoring strategies, backup, and disaster recovery solutions.
• Design and modernize datacenter platforms involving compute, virtualization, storage, networking, identity, clustering, backup, and operational management.
• Determine appropriate workload placement and migration approaches based on business criticality, security, performance, compliance, recoverability, supportability, and total cost of ownership.
• Provide technical leadership during implementation, migration, testing, cutover, stabilization, and transition to operations.
• Review and validate infrastructure designs, engineering plans, configurations, and technical deliverables produced by internal teams and third parties.
• Identify architectural risks, dependencies, assumptions, constraints, and technical debt, and define practical mitigation plans.
• Partner with cybersecurity teams to ensure solutions follow organizational security requirements, identity principles, least-privilege access, network segmentation, and data protection standards.
• Partner with operations and service management teams to ensure solutions include monitoring, alerting, documentation, support models, capacity planning, lifecycle management, and operational readiness.
• Create cost estimates, sizing models, bills of materials, licensing assumptions, and optimization recommendations for proposed solutions.
• Present architecture recommendations, trade-offs, risks, and investment requirements to customers, business leaders, and technical governance forums.
• Contribute to reusable architecture patterns, technical standards, reference designs, automation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Mentor engineers and act as an escalation point for complex infrastructure and hybrid-cloud challenges.
