Solution Architect – III (Automation & Observability) Manager Insights Enterprise Architect for DevOps & Observability Location: Miramar, FL – Hybrid ONLY (3 days onsite / 2 remote) Duration: 6 months – Contract to Hire Visa : Independent Visa only Mail : shabuddin@rubistonetechnologies.com Role Overview: This is a high-impact Solution Architect role requiring a mix of deep hands-on technical expertise (Python, Terraform, Ansible, observability tools) and enterprise-level architectural leadership. Candidates must be able to bridge business and technical needs, operate in a fast-paced environment, and help drive SGWS’s automation and observability strategy forward. • High-visibility, senior-level Solution Architect role. • Approximately 60% hands-on / 40% architectural leadership. • Will partner across multiple teams and initiatives (DevOps, Observability, Data, Security, Cloud, Integration). • Focused on designing and implementing automation and observability solutions across the enterprise. • Expected to engage with both engineers (hands-on problem solving, POCs, immediate fixes) and senior leaders (strategy, standards, roadmaps). Key Responsibilities: • Develop technical roadmap and standards for automation/observability. • Implement automation solutions using Terraform, Ansible, Python, Bash. • Work with observability tools: Dynatrace, Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, plus vendor-provided dashboards. • Help consolidate disparate tool sets into standardized enterprise observability solutions. • Provide guidance on system performance, performance tuning, and defining metrics. • Collaborate on AI/ML use cases — determining when to leverage vendor AI vs. enterprise AI capabilities (e.g., data science, Lakehouse, Kafka). • Partner with security architects on shift-left / shift-right security practices (SAST, SCA, secrets detection, RASP, chaos engineering). Candidate Profile Must-Haves: • Strong developer background (Python preferred), able to contribute hands-on. • Experience with IAC tools (Terraform, Ansible). • Observability expertise with Dynatrace, Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana. • Strong AWS/cloud experience. • Ability to mentor, collaborate, and align solutions with enterprise target architecture (avoid siloed builds). Should-Haves: • Technical leadership; ability to face business stakeholders and communicate complex solutions. • Familiarity with AI/ML concepts and integration with enterprise vs. vendor tools. • Experience in diverse industries helpful, but role is industry-agnostic. Nice-to-Haves: • OpenShift/Kubernetes deployment and cluster management exposure. • Experience with CI/CD, automation testing, and enterprise-scale systems. Additional Notes • Onsite expectation: 3 days onsite (Miramar). Open to Dallas only in special cases, but Miramar is strongly preferred. Flexibility is possible after candidate proves themselves. • Team Structure: Role sits under Technical Architecture (reporting to VP). Works closely with architects across Cloud, Security, Data, Application, and Integration. • Urgency: Top-priority role. Manager wants someone “yesterday.” Candidate ideally onboarded ASAP to ramp up and be ready for major 2026 initiatives. •
