The Solution Architect (RHEL & Cloud Specialist) occupies a pivotal role within our Technology Office, serving as the bridge between high-level business strategy and technical execution. As our infrastructure transitions toward a sophisticated hybrid-cloud model, the strategic governance of our Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) estate becomes paramount for maintaining security, compliance, and operational reliability. This role is not merely advisory; it is a hands-on leadership position tasked with architecting the automated scaffolds that support our entire digital product portfolio.

The Architect is tasked with reducing "Toil" by 40% within the first 18 months. This is achieved by abstracting underlying hardware and cloud complexities through a unified, Ansible-driven automation layer that empowers developers to self-service their infrastructure needs within governed guardrails.

Provide the technical leadership necessary to maintain architectural integrity and foster a culture of engineering excellence across DevOps and Infrastructure teams.

Establish and chair the Architectural Design Review board for infrastructure projects, ensuring all solutions adhere to established standards for performance and security.

Mentor and provide technical guidance to Senior DevOps Engineers, SREs, and System Administrators, fostering a deep understanding of RHEL internals and cloud-native patterns.

Drive the adoption of best practices in containerization (Docker, Kubernetes/OpenShift), ensuring teams build portable and secure microservices architectures.

Maintain a comprehensive Service Catalog and Architectural Decision Log (ADL) to document the "why" behind critical technology choices.

Lead vendor engagement and technology pilots (POCs) to assess emerging tools and their potential impact on the organizational tech stack.

Serve as a proactive agent for change by identifying and resolving structural weaknesses and performance bottlenecks before they impact the business.

Conduct regular architectural health checks and performance audits of the RHEL fleet and cloud environments to identify areas of waste or inefficiency.

Analyze system telemetry and monitoring data to identify recurring performance bottlenecks, designing architectural or automated remediations to eliminate them.

Proactively optimize cloud spend by designing architectures that leverage spot instances, auto-scaling, and right-sized resource allocation.

Identify architectural "technical debt" and create structured plans for modernization or decommissioning of legacy systems.

Collaborate with Security teams to proactively address emerging threat vectors by updating architectural patterns and hardening standards.

The candidate must demonstrate a high level of technical mastery across a diverse stack of infrastructure and automation technologies. As a Senior Solution Architect, the expectation is not only to understand these tools individually but to have the proven ability to integrate them into cohesive, high-performance architectures that serve complex enterprise needs in a 2026 technical landscape.

Successful candidates will demonstrate the ability to act as internal consultants, providing objective, data-backed guidance to product owners while maintaining the emotional intelligence to pivot strategies when business priorities shift abruptly.

This role acts as a linguistic bridge between the data center and the boardroom. The ability to translate "kernel panic" into "business risk" is essential for securing project buy-in and funding.

Reduction in technology redundancies and better cost-to-performance ratios.

Faster approval cycles for critical infrastructure upgrades and project funding.

On-time delivery of projects that meet immediate business needs without future breakage.
