The Infrastructure Architect is responsible for creating viable infrastructure solutions that
• fulfil the needs of the stakeholders
• comply with strategies and standards
• balance quality attributes such as functionality, security, availability, maintainability and performance
In general, IT architects have a responsibility for ensuring the completeness (fitness-for-purpose) of the architecture, in terms of adequately addressing all the pertinent concerns of its stakeholders. Understand and interpret requirements - listen to information, influence people, facilitate consensus building, synthesize and translate ideas into actionable requirements, articulate those ideas to others.
The Infrastructure Architect participates in the discovery and documentation of the customer's business scenarios that are driving the solution. Ensures integrity of the architecture, in terms of connecting various views to each other, satisfactorily reconciling the conflicting concerns of different stakeholders, and showing the trade-offs made in so doing (as between security and performance, for example).
As a architect, you must have the ability to work in multi-functional teams in a global organization. You feel comfortable taking initiative and working independently and have good skills in documentation and leadership. Most important is that being professional in every aspect comes natural for you
