Solutions Designer

We are seeking a Senior Solutions Designer with over 10 years of experience to lead the design, provisioning, and maintenance of highly available, mission-critical infrastructure. This role focuses on modernizing specialized service solutions by establishing robust configurations on cloud platforms while integrating with complex on-premise environments. You will be responsible for the entire environment lifecycle—from Dev-to-Prod—utilizing automated CI/CD pipelines, version control, and cloud-native optimization tools to ensure a high-performance, cost-effective, and resilient architecture.

Pay Rate: $591.52- $626.46/Diem

Advantages
- Act as the primary technical lead in establishing the foundation for future-state cloud services.

- Work daily with modern DevOps toolchains, including automated pipelines and cloud-native monitoring.

- Engage in a long-term contract within a structured environment that prioritizes architectural excellence and technical standards.

Responsibilities
- Design and drive the setup of complex solutions on enterprise cloud platforms (Azure and AWS). Collaborate with architects to ensure every design stage aligns with approved architectural artifacts and roadmaps.

- Develop and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines to reproduce environment configurations across the solution lifecycle. This includes reusable cloud environment configurations and the deployment of both COTS and custom applications.

- Develop comprehensive solution documentation, including configuration guides and run books. Maintain all configurations in version control systems such as GitHub or Azure DevOps.

- Lead DR and failover exercises using automated processes. Determine the feasibility of environment repair versus redeployment in the event of an unrepairable crash.

- Provide guidance on optimizing cost/performance ratios using cloud-native and 3rd-party tools. Implement monitoring, alerts, and notifications for downtimes and errors.

- Mentor junior developers and lead multidisciplinary teams to coordinate components for successful delivery. Assist with 3rd-level troubleshooting for complex technical design issues.

Qualifications
- Extensive experience developing and maintaining large, highly available, mission-critical on-prem and cloud solutions.

- Expertise in RESTful/SOAP web services, JSON, and XML.

- Fluency in Git-based source code management (GitHub, GitLab).

- Proficiency with Agile tools like Jira and Confluence.

- Deep understanding of Information Security best practices, including Encryption, Identity & Access Management (IAM), Network zoning, and Privacy Impact Assessments.

- Proven experience designing and implementing solutions on Microsoft Azure and AWS.

- Experience with 24x7 critical environments and large-scale healthcare IT infrastructure.
