Description IT Operations Infrastructure ("On-Prem") Architect to bring alignment across teams and ensure solutions are designed correctly. In the past, there has been a lack of coordination, with different teams working in silos. The goal now is to have someone who can bridge those gaps and drive more cohesive, strategic execution. The top candidates for this role will have strong experience with infrastructure design and strategy, cloud migration and optimization, and security and risk management integration. Candidates with experience in networking and systems engineering (storage, VMware) will stand out. The architect will be interfacing between stakeholders and engineers across systems engineering, network engineering, database teams, etc. so will need to have strong communication and collaboration. Banking, financial, or other regulated industry (healthcare) experience strongly preferred. Because of all of the regulations and how things need to be designed, needs to be able to explain anything they design to auditors. The financial/regulated industry is essentially required. Experience in small to mid size organizations may serve them better, as they should have broad knowledge and experience (as opposed to siloed/specialization that sometimes happens in larger orgs).

In this pivotal role, you will design, develop, and oversee the implementation of infrastructure solutions. As a technical lead, you will collaborate with stakeholders to ensure that system designs align with business objectives while maintaining seamless integration, security, and optimal performance throughout the organization.
