Solution Architect - SRE/DevOps/Platform Engineering

Responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing technology infrastructure to ensure scalability, reliability, and efficiency across systems.

Responsibilities

Architecture Design and Implementation

• Design and implement scalable, resilient, and highly available infrastructure solutions using cloud technologies and best practices, leveraging tools like Terraform and GitHub Actions.
• Develop comprehensive technical strategies that align with business objectives, with a focus on high availability and disaster recovery for cloud systems.
• Create architectural blueprints and detailed technical specifications for complex systems and applications.
• Develop expertise in event-driven architectures and related technologies (e.g., Apache Kafka/EventHub, Redis, MongoDB Atlas, IoT Hub).

DevOps and SRE Practices

• Establish and promote DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices within the HON IA-PSS Group.
• Implement continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) workflows to streamline software development and deployment processes.
• Design and implement monitoring, alerting, and observability solutions to ensure system reliability and performance.
• Create self-healing systems and automate routine operational tasks to minimize manual intervention.

Automation and Optimization

• Identify opportunities for automation and develop strategies to implement them across the infrastructure.
• Optimize existing systems and processes to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance performance.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices using tools like Terraform (preferred), Ansible, or ARM.

Collaboration and Leadership

• Collaborate with development teams, operations, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment between technical solutions and business needs.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and team members.
• Act as a liaison between technical and non-technical stakeholders, translating complex concepts into clear, understandable terms.

Risk Management and Security

• Assess and mitigate technical risks associated with infrastructure and application architectures.
• Integrate security best practices into all aspects of infrastructure and application design.

Requirements

• Strong knowledge of cloud platforms, especially Azure, and their associated services.
• Expertise in containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Understanding of event-driven architecture and database technologies (e.g., MongoDB Atlas, Azure SQL, PostgreSQL).
• Proficiency in IaC tools such as Terraform and GitHub Actions.
• Experience with one or more programming languages (e.g., Python, .NET, Java).
• Strong understanding of networking concepts, load balancing, and security best practices.
