AWS Solutions Architect | Mozilla corporation | San Francisco, CA, United States
You are an inherent problem-solver and a veteran of the information technology industry. You have a passion for technology, yet you find solving business problems equally satisfying. You can go beyond reciting the differences between EC2, S3, EBS, and VPCs and explain why utility computing has has become a true force multiplier; enabling organizations to do more with less.
About the Position
The first order of business for this role is to lead the design and implementation of Mozilla IT's AWS presence. We're seeking seasoned AWS veterans who can discuss complex topics such as multi-account financial accounting and alerting, lean operations, and service lifecycle management. We are not looking for someone to simply build a series of individual services within AWS. Rather, we're seeking an individual who can leverage his or her extensive AWS experience to build an environment that can scale to hundreds of services across an incredibly diverse set of business requirements. While the position reports into the application services division of information technology, the strategic nature of the role necessitates a dotted-line relationship to the leader of Mozilla enterprise architecture.
As conversations around infrastructure often commence with business owners, the solutions architect role requires a balance between technical aptitude and business savvy. In other words, you'll be expected to translate business needs into real-world solutions that are economical, scalable, and secure. In addition to familiarity with AWS and conventional data centers, you must also be comfortable discussing financials, business processes, and other managerial topics.
Once the AWS foundation is laid, you will continue to assist with moving new and/or existing applications over to AWS. Meanwhile, you'll be coaching and mentoring your IT colleagues on AWS best practices and occasionally speaking to upper-management about the benefits of AWS and cloud computing in general.
Your Specific Credentials
- Bachelor's or master's degree in information technology, computer science, or similar
- Extensive AWS experience, with AWS certification a plus
- Outstanding people skills and comfortable with public speaking
- Process-oriented with a familiarity around project management methodologies
- Impressive documentation / diagramming skills
- Expertise with open source software and programming languages
- Can speak to information security and risk at various levels
- Familiarity of enterprise architecture methodologies; particularly TOGAF
This position is in San Francisco, California.
