| From: Zara, TechRakers [email protected] Reply to: [email protected] Subject: VDOT - Solution Architect openings As discussed, please see the job description for (3) long term contract openings for Solution Architects with the Virginia Dept. of Transportation. The role will be remote 95% of the time but there are meetings once a quarter that candidates will need to come onsite in Richmond, VA . Let me know if you have any questions, as well as potential candidates for consideration! Top Skills' Details Need folks with broad enterprise software/solutions architecture AND documentation experience in the following areas: - Architecture Delivery AND Architecture Planning (roadmaps, research/strategy briefs, procurement support) experience across ALL facets of IT ( (app dev, data, cloud, infrastructure, working heavily within the SDLC on Agile teams, etc) - Governance/Security - writing/coordinating governance documents, documenting processes, managing risk/compliance - Soft skills/Intangibles (very important): leadership/business/technical acumen, asking for help when needed, reporting progress to management. This has been the biggest flaw in recent candidates. Need someone that's sharp and polished. Job Description **role will be hybrid remote -- role will be predominantly REMOTE but to ensure that there's an understood expectation for minimal onsite presence as needed (will be given plenty of advanced notice-- will be for quarterly Town Hall meetings, occasional in-person meetings as specifically required for assigned work, etc.)-- likely 2-3x/quarter. **candidate must be OPEN to coming to Richmond, VA to pick up laptop-- if they live too far, there's ways around this-- BUT they will eventually have to come on-site for badging, which is non-negotiable. Not looking for candidates that have only supported core monolithic projects-- Over 300 applications in their environment-- and a good percentage are home-grown .NET applications-- and there's a huge push to move to Azure cloud. So, this person will be supporting multiple different facets within the top 3 skills found above, as they make this push. Details around the push to the cloud: - Move into Azure cloud, as well as professional cloud environments and take advantage of SaaS solutions (any experience here is a huge plus). - Architect would be primarily supporting of initiatives around this-- need someone that can jump in and hit the ground running. - Need someone with an extremely broad portfolio of experience-- could be supporting impact analysis on one application one day, then completing detailed coordinating governance documents on another item the next.
