Job Description
Enterprise Architect(JAVA)
Profile &Description
We are embarking on a major restructuring of a system that conducts over 4billion dollars of business per year. We are also buildingWeb base UI using RIA techniques and REST/JSON. The DevOps group isresponsible for providing the tools and support necessary to help our coredevelopment teams manage, promote, and release this software. They arealso responsible for working with our infrastructure group to plan operationalsupport including collaborative processes for promotion of build artifacts intosecure environments.
Our environment includes a wide mix of J2EE, Oracle, WebLogic, VMWare,message buses and Openstack. We are moving towards a hosting model closerto that scripted build out and release onto operational pre-hardened OS imageswith specified capacity provided by our operations group. Many of our build, release and artifact management processes must be upgradedto work in this new mode. We cannot transition everything all at once socharting a path with incremental upgrades will be critical.
This Enterprise Architect reports to the Lead Enterprise Architect and extendstheir ability to research problems, designs and opportunities at a greaterdepth. They will provide guidance, collaboration and mentoring for Devleads of individual teams who generally act as the solution architect for thatprojects. They may be required to step into specific projects tosupply additional management, coding and engineering capacity as needed to makeprojects successful.
Our Architects spend a lot of time interacting with business users, PMO andproduct managers. They must be able to receive ambiguous input from manysources, synthesize the true underlying root cause problems and then sell allparticipants on alternative approaches when needs.
We believe in Architects who are great engineers and who still write a lot ofcode. Our Enterprise architects must have a breadth of knowledgefrom web scale businesses as they will be guiding the transition into thesetechniques over time. They must be able to code in severallanguages and cannot be a single stack specialist. They mustbe first and foremost experts in distributed systems with a heavy focus inconversational semantics for large scale distributed systems. In some instances, they will be required to sit down and build prototypesdemonstrating complex solutions as one of their communicationtools. They must understand the entire stack from the edgerouters through the fully installed application and a great understanding ofwhere it makes sense to place functionality in that stack. They must havethe ability and inclination to dive into any component of that stack andrapidly become an expert able to help diagnose problems that may occur in thatstack.
We are moving towards an internal private cloud but want to shift towardsdevelopment and hosting architectures compatible with spinning up entire newsilos using leased open stack capacity so deep experience deploying complexapplications in the public could will be very helpful.
This is an evolving stack so you need to have a love of learning newtools, new languages and radical new ways of thinking about theintersection between Development and operations. You need to bepassionate about webscale technologies as applied to scale growing businesses.
The Enterprise Architects provide deep design reviews and are quite often usedas the final code review especially for important modules. They are thegate keeps to ensure what we build does not incur inappropriate technical debt.
