Position: Enterprise architect with (IOS, Java, AWS and API)

Location: Overland Park, KS (Onsite)

Duration: Long Term Contract

Job Description:

Seek an experienced Enterprise Architect to lead and define the architecture strategy for our telecommunications enterprise. We are looking for a technical foundation in Java development, iOS mobile solutions, AWS cloud infrastructure, and API management. You will guide technology decisions across a complex, high-traffic environment, ensuring that the architecture supports future growth, performance, and new ideas in the telecommunications industry.

You will collaborate with teams to design and manage systems that align with our needs while optimizing for efficiency, security, and scalability. You will also integrate new technologies into the existing ecosystem and ensuring consistency and sustainability across all technological programs.

Important Responsibilities:

• Define and manage the comprehensive architecture roadmap for our organization, aligning technology decisions with our goals.
• Oversee the architectural design of important systems, including backend platforms built on Java, iOS mobile apps, cloud infrastructure on AWS, and API ecosystems.
• Evaluate and integrate new technologies into existing systems, with a focus on improving performance, scalability, and user experience in a high-demand telecommunications environment.
• Java Expertise: Design scalable, high-performance backend systems using Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate, and microservices. Ensure systems can handle massive user loads and transactional data, in telecommunications contexts.
• iOS Mobile Architecture: Collaborate with iOS development teams to define architecture for mobile solutions that integrate with backend systems. Optimize for performance, data synchronization, and secure communications.
• API Design & Management: Architect RESTful APIs to support microservices, mobile apps, and third-party integrations. Ensure APIs are scalable, secure, and follow industry standards (e.g., OAuth, JWT, and API versioning).
• AWS Cloud Expertise: Architect cloud-native solutions using AWS services such as EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, and API Gateway. Develop strategies for cloud migration, scalability, disaster recovery, and cost optimization. Implement automation using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform or Cloud Formation.
• Lead the integration of different systems, including third-party platforms, mobile applications, and backend services. Ensure secure, reliable, and scalable inter-system communications.
• Provide architectural oversight on enterprise messaging systems (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ) to ensure efficient handling of real-time data in a telecommunications context.
• Ensure architectural designs follow best practices for security, concerning telecommunications data privacy and system vulnerabilities.
• Implement security measures across all systems, focusing on encryption protocols, secure data storage, and authentication/authorization mechanisms (e.g., OAuth, JWT).
• Collaborate with product managers, development teams, and business analysts to understand needs and translate them into practical architectural solutions.
• Be an trusted advisor, delivering architectural recommendations and influencing decisions on main technology choices that have long-term growth.
• Provide leadership and mentorship to development teams, ensuring they follow established architecture guidelines and best practices.
• Facilitate the professional growth of junior architects and software engineers by encouraging a culture of learning and improvement.
• Stay ahead of industry trends and new technologies in cloud computing, mobile development, telecommunications, and API architecture.
• Review and revise architecture to incorporate new technologies that improve system efficiency, security, or cost-effectiveness.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• 15+ years of experience in software development and enterprise architecture with a focus on high-traffic systems, in telecommunications or related industries.
• Expertise in Java (Java 9+), Spring Boot, Hibernate, and microservices architecture. Familiarity with Java-based distributed systems and event-driven architecture is important.
• Proficiency in iOS development frameworks (Swift, Objective-C) and experience designing mobile applications that integrate with backend services.
• Experience of AWS services (EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, API Gateway, CloudWatch) with demonstrated experience designing cloud-native applications.
• Experience with API management, including the design, security, scalability, and maintenance of RESTful APIs. Familiarity with GraphQL.
• Familiarity with the telecommunications industry's specific challenges, such as network architecture, real-time billing systems, customer management platforms, and OSS/BSS systems.
• Experience with enterprise security requirements, in handling telecommunications data, customer privacy regulations, and mitigating system vulnerabilities.
• DevOps experience, including hands-on familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code using Terraform or CloudFormation.
• Proficiency in monitoring systems (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch) to ensure system uptime and performance in a large-scale environment.

Experience:

• Master's degree in Computer Science or related field.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect, TOGAF, Certified Java Developer) are. Knowledge of front-end frameworks like Angular, React,Node.js or Vue.js.
• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing frameworks.
• Demonstrated experience working with C-level executives and non-technical team members to align technology projects with our goals.
• Mentor and lead teams, encouraging a collaborative and culture across the organization.
