    Hybrid in Fort Mill SC, Charlotte NC, New York NY, Austin TX. Please do not apply if you cannot work in these locations.

    Project Description

    Our client is currently undergoing a major datacenter migration to two newly acquired next-generation datacenters. The existing datacenters are at full capacity with no available space or power, and they operate under legacy models that require full datacenter failure to trigger recovery. The new datacenters introduce modern hardware, ACI-based networking, and blue-green deployment strategies, allowing for individual application-level failover rather than full-site failure. This shift requires the development and implementation of new architectural patterns in collaboration with development teams.

    The architect will:

    + Review migration schedules and architectural patterns.

    + Ensure teams apply the correct patterns.

    + Establish lines of defense for resiliency.

    + Present regularly to the executive leadership team.

     

    This is a strategic and hands-on role (approximately 75% technical / 25% strategic) with high

     

    visibility across senior leadership.
