Roles & Responsibilities
Own solution strategy for CogniX platform deals: discovery, blueprinting, HLD/LLD, and transition-to-delivery.
Lead customer workshops to capture requirements, non-functionals (availability, performance, security, compliance), and success metrics.
Design resilient architecture, HA/DR, backup & recovery, capacity planning, performance baselines, and observability.
Define migration approaches (rehost/replatform/refactor), cutover plans, and rollback strategies.
Create detailed BoM and cost models (cloud infra, licenses, support) with optimization levers (rightsizing, reservations, autoscaling).
Author SoWs/MSAs and governance models; establish RACI, cadence, and reporting templates.
Partner with delivery to establish implementation runbooks, test plans, and acceptance criteria.
Establish security architecture: identity & access, secrets, encryption, compliance (ISO27001, SOC2, GDPR where applicable).
Integrate toolchains: ITSM (ServiceNow), Observability (Prometheus/Grafana/Elastic), Automation (Terraform/Ansible), AIOps.
Drive risk management and dependency tracking across parallel projects; maintain architecture decision records (ADRs).
Contribute sales pursuits with demos/POCs; present solutions and value propositions to CXO stakeholders.

8–12 years in IT Infrastructure Services with hands-on Solution Architecture and Implementation.
Proven experience designing end-to-end architectures across EUC, Service Desk, Datacenter (Compute/Storage/Network), and Cloud.
Deep OS knowledge and recommendations covering server builds, networking, load balancing, HA/DR, storage & backup architectures.
RFI/RFP response ownership: solution construct, estimations, pricing assumptions, risks & dependencies,



and effort models.
Create/review architecture & solution design artifacts (HLD/LLD, reference architecture, BOMs, SoWs, SLAs/SLOs).
Define and enforce adherence to architectural standards, design principles, security baselines, and usability standards.
Vendor engagement across hardware/software ecosystems; evaluate architectures and compatibility.
Cloud proficiency (Azure preferred; AWS/GCP acceptable) across landing zones, identity, networking, storage, compute, security.

Solid written & verbal communication; ability to work effectively with sales, delivery, and customer stakeholders.
