DOOR3 is a globally recognized technology consultancy, and we are looking for an experienced full stack Solution Architect (SA), with extensive experience building enterprise web applications.

This is a technology leadership role. SAs steward ideas through the sales process into development and delivery, assuming responsibility for all architectural decisions – often including languages, frameworks, and platforms. SAs are expected to bridge the divide between business interests and technology considerations.

**Core responsibilities are rooted in three areas:
Presales: Working as part of a team, SAs are expected to:**

- Build trust and credibility through their personalities and technical expertise.
- Help to shape a vision and create a solution to meet a client’s business needs.
- Estimate the development effort to create the envisioned solution.

**Architecture: Leading a team of architects and developers, SAs:**

- Working alongside business analyst and UX colleagues, transform high-level pre-sales solutions into viable, documented, technical architecture.

- Adapt architecture as needed in the course of Agile delivery.

- Support the delivery team in the early phases of development by creating a shared understanding of the technology direction.

**Tech leadership/troubleshooting: SAs oversee the projects implementing their architectures by:**

- Assisting developers on their projects with root cause analysis and remediation planning.
- Supporting project teams in times of challenge (estimation miss, architectural realignment, etc.) by providing advice and hands-on coding assistance.

**Responsibilities also include:**

-As part of our ongoing recruiting process, be a magnet for technology talent. We are looking for more than just your technical chops; we are looking for colleagues who bring their top game and leadership.
Participate in our technology braintrust to help evolve our technology discipline and best practices. Keep a finger on the pulse of evolving technologies and contribute to ongoing technology steering. Explore products and platforms which can be leveraged, in combination with DOOR3’s custom development services, to efficiently deliver business solution frequently needed by our clients.

**Relevant Experience**

Beyond leading and working closely with development teams, SAs will be required to work with UX Designers, Business Analysts, Sales, Engagement Management, and Client teams to ensure that projects are planned strategically and executed successfully.

- You must be a subject matter expert across several or all of the following stacks: MEAN, .Net, React/React Native, Angular, and/or Node.js. The typical maturation for this is 8-10 years, but if you’ve been a quick study and have the demonstrated expertise, the exact number of years is not critical.
- Experience using modern frameworks (React Native, etc.) to build mobile solutions is a plus.
- At least 3 years experience as Team Lead or Architect where your leadership skills played a key factor in successful delivery.
- Experience working with distributed teams is a plus.
- At least 2 years in a client-facing role in technology or digital consulting environments.
- Senior-level expertise in devOps across two of the following platforms: Azure, AWS, Google Cloud. You need to be better than our enterprise clients, since you may be their trusted DevOps advisor and sometimes their teacher.
