Required Qualifications
- 7 or more years of full-time engineering or architectural experience, with at least half of that having solutions architecture responsibilities. We are looking for people who explicitly responsible for architect solutions, who come from a technical background, and who either held an explicit architecture role or were in a technical leadership role where architecture was a core function.
- Demonstrated ability to write software. While the production of software is not your primary role, technical credibility is vital for communicating effectively with engineers and demonstrating technical excellence — for example, building proof of concepts, sketching out test cases so you can experiment on, and so on.
- Familiarity with modern, domain-driven modeling approaches and tools, so that you can communicate your ideas consistently.
- Demonstrated strategic thinking beyond the scope of your technical solution. Your work and designs are always part of a greater whole. Understanding how you impact other systems and people and articulating how it aligns with broader goals are important.
- Expertise with Azure, the .NET CLR platform, and the C# programming language. We are widely deployed in both Azure and on-premises environments, and almost everything is written in C# plus Angular, JavaScript.
