• Comprehensive understanding of enterprise-wide information systems architecture, including servers, storage, virtualization, high availability, performance management, and monitoring of web-scale systems.

Desired Qualifications:

• Strong oral and written communication skills for management briefings, technical guidance, and reporting.

• Create architecture deliverables describing AWS cloud solutions with sufficient detail for cost estimation, technology components, vendor components, and design parameters for handoff to implementation teams.
