Purpose of Position
The Technical Architect's (TA) main task is to realize particular technical implementation processes. Technical Architects are not only in charge of the implementation of new technologies, they also provide recommendations and inform stakeholders about potential threats. Technical Architects can be in charge of leading large teams of developers and technical professionals. They act as technical project managers who define the structure of a specific system and oversee the related Information Technology (IT) assignments. Out of all IT Architects, they are the closest to an organization’s end user. Thus, they have to ensure that the technology is not only delivered in a timely manner but fully functional for the end user. In order to meet the requirements of both the organization and user, Technical Architects work closely with Solution Architects who create a link between the strategic concept and its technical execution. Technical Architects are specialists in their field and need to be able to first visualize and then implement new technical concepts into an existing system. It is their responsibility to realize the IT project with a development team and define best practices and standards along the way. Furthermore, they inform all parties involved about specific software requirements and associated risks. Ideally, Technical Architects are experienced working with on-premise and cloud native infrastructures and know how to deploy an application in the most effective way. They are accountable for being intimately involved with all technical activities, and for providing architectural direction and leadership on assigned project teams. The job duties include, but are not limited to, developing and documenting high-level solution architectures, scoping, approach, estimation, research, tool evaluation, documenting patterns and standards, defining technology strategy, technology evaluation and recommendation, mentoring through hands-on assistance as well as formal/informal training, and some technical development all while adhering to NetJets technology standards and best practices.
