Senior Solutions Architect

Description

FCamara is seeking a professional capable of deeply understanding business needs and translating them into robust, scalable, and secure architectural solutions that add value to the organization. **Responsibilities and Assignments** **Business Understanding and Analysis:** ➢ Map relevant functional domains for the business. ➢ Define business capabilities enabled by each domain and how they contribute to value generation. ➢ Identify and detail requirements (functional, business, data, compliance, laws and regulations, etc.). ➢ Detail non-functional requirements (performance, security, scalability, etc.) and define clear metrics for each. ➢ Prioritize requirements based on business value and technical constraints. **Solution Architecture and Design:** ➢ Select appropriate architectural patterns and styles (microservices, message queues, etc.). ➢ Explain the rationale behind selected architectural styles and patterns, considering business requirements, technical constraints, and involved trade-offs. ➢ Consider trade-offs between simplicity and flexibility. ➢ Define clear strategies to handle increased load (scalability). ➢ Implement fault recovery mechanisms (resilience). ➢ Meet high availability requirements. ➢ Define how components communicate (protocols, message formats, etc.). ➢ Select appropriate integration tools and patterns, along with their responsibilities. ➢ Implement authentication, authorization, and encryption (security). ➢ Implement protection mechanisms against attacks (WAF, etc.). ➢ Select appropriate tools and technologies to implement the architecture, considering aspects such as performance, cost, ease of use, and integration with other systems. ➢ Justify each tool/technology choice, demonstrating understanding of its pros and cons. ➢ Demonstrate impact analysis of the proposed solution across various domains (Data, Security, Infrastructure, Solutions and Software, etc.). ➢ Demonstrate cost estimation of the proposed solution. **Documentation and Presentation:** ➢ Document the solution architecture clearly and concisely. ➢ Create diagrams representing the solution architecture, including components, their interactions, and data flows. ➢ Centralize documentation (Readme). ➢ Describe possible improvements or expansions of the solution. ➢ Demonstrate long-term vision and planning capability. ➢ Discuss trade-offs and challenges encountered during development. **Implementation and Operations:** ➢ Define monitoring metrics to track solution performance, availability, and security. ➢ Implement alerts to detect issues and respond rapidly. ➢ Describe tools and techniques for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing metrics. **Differentiating Requirements:** ➢ Define steps to migrate from a transitional system to the new architecture (Transition Architecture). ➢ Consider migration risks and challenges. ➢ Map key risks and challenges identified during solution proposal. ➢ Describe mitigating actions for risks and possible solutions for mapped challenges. ➢ Demonstrate knowledge of advantages and disadvantages of selected technologies. ➢ Demonstrate awareness of trade-offs involved in each architectural decision. **Requirements and Qualifications** **Experience:** ➢ Proven experience in solution architecture projects, with focus on system integration and process optimization. ➢ Experience in business requirements analysis (functional and non-functional) and transformation into technical solutions. ➢ Experience in defining and implementing architectural patterns (microservices, message queues, etc.). ➢ Experience in agile development environments. **Technical Knowledge:** ➢ In-depth knowledge of system integration patterns (APIs, messaging, etc.). ➢ Solid knowledge of microservices-oriented architectures. ➢ Familiarity with various development technologies and platforms (e.g., Java, .NET, Python, Node.js, Cloud, etc.). ➢ Knowledge of modeling tools (e.g., UML). ➢ Knowledge of information security (authentication, authorization, encryption). ➢ Knowledge of system monitoring and observability. ➢ Familiarity with code versioning tools (e.g., Git). ➢ Knowledge of infrastructure and licensing cost estimation. **Skills:** ➢ Excellent communication and negotiation skills to influence technical and business stakeholders. ➢ Systemic vision and critical analysis capability to identify improvement opportunities in processes and systems. ➢ Ability to translate business requirements into clear and concise technical specifications. ➢ Capability to make data-driven technical decisions grounded in deep understanding of involved trade-offs. ➢ Ability to document solutions clearly and systematically. ➢ Capability to technically lead development teams. **Desirable Behavioral Skills:** ➢ Proactivity ➢ Analytical thinking ➢ Results orientation ➢ Collaboration ➢ Adaptability ➢ Continuous learning **Additional Information** **Here, we are
