A day in the life.

As a Senior Solutions Architect on the MMA Enterprise Architecture Team, you will lead collaboration with Technology and Business partners to design and communicate innovative solutions utilizing packaged solutions, cloud services, and custom development.

In addition to mentoring and empowering teams, you will guide and mentor other architects, fostering their professional growth and ensuring alignment with architectural standards. You will stay updated with the latest technologies and share your expertise across teams while evaluating vendor products. Your role is pivotal in driving technology solutions that align with and advance business objectives.

• Knowledge and experience of all phases of the SDLC and full lifecycle implementations using traditional waterfall, iterative, and agile methodologies.
• Experience working and communicating with both business and technical stakeholders at varying levels of seniority and understanding.
• Experience in developing software solutions utilizing various technology stacks and methodologies, including Node.js, Angular, React, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes containerization, JSON, and REST web services.
• Proficiency in cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, including knowledge of cloud architecture, services, and deployment models.
• Familiarity with DevOps practices, including CI/CD and infrastructure automation, to enable efficient solution deployment and management.
• Understanding of security principles, data protection, and compliance requirements to design secure and compliant solutions.
• Hands-on experience with identifying and resolving complex technical issues, and providing guidance to technical teams in troubleshooting and problem-solving.
• Proven track record of leading architectural reviews and providing constructive feedback to ensure alignment with enterprise standards and best practices.
