Solutions Architect (JD Edwards to Azure)
Apply NowCompany: RIT Solutions, Inc.
Location: Atlanta, GA 30349
Description:
We are seeking a Solution Architect to lead the modernization and migration of a
financial pricing application from JD Edwards to Microsoft Azure. This role requires deep
expertise in cloud architecture, microservices, and containerization to define and
implement a scalable, cloud-native solution. The architect will determine the appropriate
database technology (MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Databricks), evaluate the role of
Kubernetes in orchestrating workloads, and design a microservices-based architecture
to improve scalability, maintainability, and performance.
Required Skills - Must have direct experience with migration of JD Edwards to Azure.
Job Duties - Key Responsibilities:
? Architect the migration strategy for transitioning the financial pricing application
from JD Edwards to Azure, focusing on cloud-native and microservices-driven
design.
? Design and implement a microservices architecture, breaking down monolithic
components into independent, containerized services for scalability and agility.
? Evaluate and select the appropriate database technology (MongoDB, PostgreSQL,
Databricks) based on data structure, performance needs, and cloud integration.
? Define the role of Kubernetes (AKS) in orchestrating and managing containerized
microservices, ensuring high availability, auto-scaling, and workload optimization.
? Assess and mitigate architectural impacts, including latency, data consistency,
security, and operational costs, based on chosen design patterns.
? Develop API strategies to enable efficient communication between microservices,
external systems, and enterprise applications.
? Ensure robust CI/CD pipelines for seamless deployment and monitoring of
containerized applications using DevOps best practices.
? Optimize performance and cost-efficiency by leveraging serverless computing,
containerized workloads, and managed database services.
? Collaborate with business stakeholders, development teams, and infrastructure
teams to align architecture with business and operational goals.
? Develop proof-of-concepts (PoCs) and conduct benchmarking to validate
architectural decisions before full-scale implementation.
? Ensure security and compliance by integrating best practices in identity
management, encryption, and regulatory adherence.
Job Requirements - Qualifications:
? 8+ years of experience in solution architecture, cloud migration, and application
modernization.
? Expertise in Azure cloud services, including Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS),
Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, Databricks, and Azure API Management.
? Deep understanding of microservices architecture, including containerization
strategies with Docker and Kubernetes.
? Strong knowledge of relational (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) databases,
with experience in selecting the right data store for financial applications.
? Hands-on experience with Kubernetes for workload orchestration, service
discovery, and fault tolerance.
? Experience in API Gateway implementation, event-driven architecture, and
messaging systems (e.g., Kafka, Azure Service Bus).
? Familiarity with JD Edwards ERP and integration patterns for cloud migration.
? Strong understanding of data modeling, ETL pipelines, and real-time data
streaming.
? Experience with CI/CD automation, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep), and
DevOps practices.
? Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical
concepts into business value.
Desired Skills & Experience - Preferred Qualifications:
? Experience in financial pricing models, high-volume transaction processing, and
performance optimization.
? Certifications in Azure Solutions Architecture, Kubernetes, or DevOps.
? Knowledge of serverless computing and hybrid cloud strategies.
