At AT&T we’re redefining the future of communication by connecting people to greater possibility – with expertise, simplicity, and inspiration. At the heart of our purpose lies a diverse workforce of 200,000 people and a culture that aspires to serve customers first, act boldly, move faster, and win as one.
Our Product Development group, part of AT&T’s Technology Services (ATS) organisation, is responsible for building software-based products, services, and platforms that our customers love and need. Harnessing technology and rebuilding software expertise, the team is inspiring simplicity with projects that deliver revenue and cost savings opportunities.
We are looking for a solution architect who will play a critical role in the software development cycle: from defining technical requirements and system architecture; to providing hands-on direction to the rest of the design and engineering teams.
You will be a member of a team of technical leaders that are also responsible for creating the technology strategy of current and future systems. Leading design discussions and mentoring engineers on proper platform and application solutions. Publishing and presenting to technology leaders and business executives.

· Determine a project’s scope before developers begin any major work.
· Identify areas where implementation may require more solutions to be successful.
· Communicate directly with enterprise architects, developers, and clients.
· Direct and oversee the activities of a team of developers, answering questions or helping to resolve issues as they arise.
· Monitor timelines and progress to ensure that team members are adhering to these specifications.
· Meet with stakeholders to provide feedback and updates on development projects throughout – from the initial conversations to determine project scope and specifications to the final presentation of software solutions.
· Prepare reports and presentations, as well as demonstrations, to keep the client informed about issues that arise during development and report on integration and deployment.
· Work with outside vendors to develop and implement specific aspects of the software solution.
· Consider costs and timelines and ensure that vendors meet deadlines for deliverables and project elements.
· Review proposals and estimates from vendors and determine whether they fit into existing budgetary and time restrictions
Skills:
· Must possess excellent written, communication, and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
· Possess a high level of technical literacy and the ability to analyze in detail.
· Extensive experience in design/implementation/consulting of large-scale, enterprise applications.
· Understanding of security, risk and compliance frameworks, disaster recovery, high availability architectures, hardware, operating systems, and networking connectivity.
· Experience with cloud solutions, virtual platforms, software development experience, and operational management practices and frameworks.
· Extensive time management skills to determine development schedules and milestones and ensure that deliverables are completed on time.
· Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
