Role: Lead Architect/Systems architect

Duration: 12-month contract to hire

About the role: One of our Top Aerospace partners is seeking a Lead Architect to take ownership of the design, performance, and future strategy of their enterprise labeling and printing platforms, which are mission-critical to global supply chain and manufacturing operations. These systems, integrated with Oracle ERP and other core platforms, enable the production of barcodes, RFID labels, and shipping documentation at scale. A failure of these systems can halt production and result in multi-million-dollar losses. This person will be a key point-of-contact for system/application performance, working closely with cloud (AWS) infrastructure teams, ERP stakeholders, and 3rd-party support teams to maintain and evolve the ecosystem. They’ll guide the technical direction for ongoing enhancements and cloud (AWS) evolution (30%), but will also be hands-on leading front and back-end configuration, production-issue resolution/ prioritization, and system troubleshooting, to ensure operational stability (70%).

Requirements:

•           10+ years’ experience in enterprise application/systems architecture and engineering, preferably in a manufacturing or supply chain environment.

•           Proven experience leading front-end and back-end architecture and acting as the SME (Subject Matter Expert) for escalated, Level3 support, configuration, and production issues.

•           Expertise building, configuring, and tuning Apache, Tomcat, and IIS middle-ware servers, to support high-availability Java and .NET applications.

•           Strong Linux and Windows server administration skills, for application hosting and configuration.

•           Strong Oracle database (PL/SQL) knowledge, for database management, performance tuning and resolving connectivity issues.

•           Experience with enterprise identity/ access management (IAM) protocols like SSO (Single Sign-On), SAML, OIDC, and OAuth across integrated ERP systems (e.g., Oracle ERP), to allow user access across multiple applications.

•           Experience with certificate lifecycle management (ie: OpenSSL), to secure communication between systems, applications, and users.

•           Experience planning and supporting (preferably AWS) cloud migrations and designing scalable architecture or other major cloud platforms.
