    Solutions Architect - Torrance, United States - TEKsystems

    TEKsystems background
    Description

    • 3 days onsite at the Torrance office unless travel to client site is needed. 2 remote days

    Description:


    As a Solutions Architect with a strong focus on implementation, you will be responsible for both designing and deploying complex technology solutions to meet the needs of our diverse client base.

    Your role will be critical in bridging the gap between the conceptual architecture and the actual implementation of technology solutions.

    In this unique position, you will spend approximately 60% of your time on hands-on implementation activities, such as system configuration, cloud deployment, and integration tasks.

    You'll work closely with clients to understand their business requirements, constraints, and current technological landscape.

    Leveraging this understanding, you will architect solutions that not only meet but exceed client expectations, considering scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency.

    Given the heavier implementation focus, you'll often find yourself transitioning seamlessly from a design meeting to configuring network protocols, setting up cloud-based services, or troubleshooting deployed solutions.


    Your deep technical expertise, along with your exceptional communication skills, will enable you to articulate the benefits and nuances of your architectural decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

    As a valuable member of our team, you will not only contribute to the successful delivery of solutions but also play a key role in mentoring junior staff and leading by example.


    This role demands a high level of technical competency, a deep understanding of various technologies and platforms, and an aptitude for implementing and optimizing solutions in real-world environments.

    If you are passionate about technology and thrive in a fast-paced, client-oriented setting, this could be the role for you.


    Key Responsibilities:

    Consult with Clients:
    Understand client needs, business objectives, and existing systems to design effective solutions.

    Architectural Design:
    Develop comprehensive architectural plans that serve as blueprints for implementation, considering scalability, security, and cost-efficiency.

    Hands-On Implementation:

    Carry out the actual deployment of designed solutions, which could involve setting up servers, configuring networks, or coding custom solutions.


    Technical Leadership:
    Provide guidance and mentorship to junior staff members on both design and implementation best practices.

    Documentation:
    Maintain thorough documentation for solutions, from architectural diagrams to implementation guides and user manuals.

    Client Communication:
    Keep clients informed about project statuses, changes, and requirements.

    Performance Tuning:
    Optimize the performance of deployed solutions through monitoring, troubleshooting, and updates.

    Vendor Relations:
    Build and maintain relationships with vendors to ensure that solutions are optimized for specific client needs.

    Quality Assurance:
    Validate the functionality, performance, and reliability of implemented solutions through rigorous testing procedures.

    Ongoing Support:
    Offer technical support and training to clients for implemented solutions as needed.


    Minimum Requirements:

    Education:
    Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field.

    A minimum of 7-10 years of experience in systems engineering or a closely related field.

    Demonstrated experience in managing large scale infrastructure deployments or migrations.



    Certifications:


    At least one advanced certification from Azure (Azure Solutions Architect, Azure DevOps Engineer, etc.) or AWS (AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional, AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional, etc.).

    VMware Certified Expert (VCDX, VCAP, etc.)


    Minimum Skills:

    Technical Skills:
    Fundamental knowledge in core areas such as virtualization, networking, storage technologies, cloud services, and security.

    Scripting and Automation:
    Basic skills in scripting languages such as PowerShell, Python, or Bash, and familiarity with automation tools.

    Network Protocols:
    Advanced understanding of network protocols and services (DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, SNMP, etc.).

    Problem Solving:
    Demonstrated ability to analyze and troubleshoot complex technical issues.

    Communication:
    Effective communication skills, both written and verbal.


    Other Requirements:

    Collaboration Skills:
    Ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams and coordinate with other departments.

    Adaptability:
    Ability to adapt to changes in technology and the business environment.

    Analytical Thinking:
    Strong analytical and critical thinking skills for making data-driven decisions.


    Although there are minimum qualifications for this role, the following outlines the requirements of a Solutions Architect I for training and development in addition to a minimum 24 months in the role before being considered for a higher position.


    Desired Knowledge and Skills:

    Technical Expertise:
    Deep understanding of cloud computing, virtualization, networking, and storage solutions.

    Problem-Solving:
    Ability to troubleshoot complex issues, think critically, and come up with effective solutions quickly.

    Communication Skills:
    Strong written and verbal communication skills for conveying complex technical information clearly.

    Scripting Languages:
    Proficiency in one or more scripting languages like Python, PowerShell, or Bash for automation tasks.

    Vendor-Specific Technologies:
    Knowledge of products and services offered by key vendors in the technology landscape.
