Manager's call notes (Application/Solution Architect)
The team often uses the terms Application Architect and Solution Architect interchangeably. However, to clarify: this is not a Database Architect position.
Key Role Requirements:
- This is an Application/Solution Architecture role that requires a strong understanding of both relational and non-relational databases, data lakes, and data storage environments.
- While Postgres is used, we are not seeking someone to lead database migrations. We use Amazon Aurora as our database service in AWS.
- Collaborate with business architects, chief product owners, product owners, chief delivery leads, and delivery leads to develop multi-level solution architectures.
