Network Systems Architect, SME

At a certain point, experience-based system design can start to look like clairvoyance. When you've developed so many systems that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technology-based challenge, but you can also anticipate and preempt future issues, you're a systems architect. You've evolved your skills into strategy and have the curiosity to understand how all of the pieces of an IT ecosystem fit together.

• Incorporate engineering strategies for introducing new technology in the support of advanced data analytics using AI and ML into the customer's infrastructure.
• Perform cost-benefit analyses and regression analysis to determine whether requirements are best met by manual, software, or hardware functions and make maximum use of commercial off-the-shelf or already developed components.
• Apply knowledge to design improved processes, generate valid requirements, and ensure that these are consistent with the enterprise technical architecture.
• Collaborate with stakeholder and EOM technical teams to design and implement systems using big data solutions, strategies, architectural methodologies, and frameworks.
• Analyze systems performance data from tools such as OS and application logs, Splunk, and Raven Vision to inform optimization of the user experience.
• Work with visualization specialist to ensure output is captured to help understand complex problems.
• Perform tier four architecture and engineering support.
