The Cloud Solution Architect will engage in a broad range of tasks related to the development, deployment, and maintenance of cloud-based infrastructure and applications. Responsibilities include enabling collaboration, automation, and efficiency in the development of cloud-based systems, thereby facilitating the rapid delivery of high-quality software and services to customers.
This position requires technical proficiency in cloud initiatives, adherence to software engineering best practices, leading a team of architects, and alignment with the agency's technical direction. Additionally, the role involves training teams on leveraging the possibilities of cloud technologies to ensure successful adoption and implementation.
Additional responsibilities include:
- Hands on solution development on AWS cloud and integrating with various internal and external applications.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to understand business requirements and convert them into actionable solution components aligned with DBHDS's Enterprise Solution architecture patterns, procedures, and policies.
- Design and develop scalable, resilient cloud solution architectures and engineering solutions using cloud-native services and technologies.
- Develop front-end components and back-end services to create cohesive applications within cloud and hybrid infrastructures using AWS.
- Create comprehensive solution documentation detailing the design, testing, and production support processes and procedures.
- Set up and maintain continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to automate updates and feature deployments.
- Ensure solution completeness through thorough testing and quality assurance processes, ensuring compliance with security policies and best practices.
- Manage configuration drift and ensure consistency across different environments, using tools like AWS Code Build/Deploy and AWS CloudFormation.
- Apply DevOps principles to streamline the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and enhance automation.
- Deploy solutions to various environments, establish monitoring processes, and ensure ongoing operational stability and application resiliency through system stress testing and feature enhancements.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand change requirements, provide technical expertise, and ensure solutions align with business needs.
- Identify opportunities for innovation and process improvement to enhance solution efficiency, scalability, and reliability.
