System Center Solutions Architect
The Opportunity:
At a certain point, experience-based system design can start to look like clairvoyance. When you’ve developed so many systems that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technology-based challenge but can also anticipate and preempt future issues, you’re a solutions architect. You’ve evolved your skills into strategy through a long path of software development accomplishments and the curiosity to understand how all pieces of an IT ecosystem fit together. Are you ready to use your combination of knowledge, skill, and experience to take on the toughest challenges in national defense?
As a solution architect for Microsoft System Center solutions, including a System Center Operations Manager (SCOM), System Center Orchestrator (SCORCH), and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM), you'll translate your customer’s IT needs and future goals into a plan by crafting architecture diagrams, design specifications, statements of work, and requirements. With your guidance, we’ll help transform the way the Navy uses Microsoft Systems Center technology, including cloud migration, integrating advanced technology, and modernizing legacy systems. What do you do next in a career where you’ve reached this level? You mentor the next set of developers to help them grow into tomorrow’s solutions architects.
Your role will involve hands-on developing and implementing architectural designs and creating engineering artifacts for a global enterprise System Center infrastructure system supporting the Navy. Your experience with proactively evaluating and remediating vulnerabilities, and modernizing and increasing fault tolerance will improve end-user experience and reduce operational costs. You will work closely with the application and infrastructure leads to plan automation and performance monitoring for applications, databases, and network devices to ensure applications deployed will properly scale and meet expected SLAs for Performance, Availability, Scalability, and Stability.
