About the Role

The Solution Architect role is a key position within the IT Unit. The Solution Architect will be responsible for designing and delivering effective technology solutions that align with UTS's strategic goals and enterprise architecture framework. This role requires a deep understanding of business requirements, technical expertise,



and the ability to translate them into scalable and robust solutions.

A Day in the Life of a Solution Architect at UTS

The architectural landscape at UTS is broad, complex and quickly evolving. Solution Architects will typically be aligned to particular business‑focused or architecture‑focused domains (e.g. business, information, data, integration, infrastructure, cloud, security etc). For the currently advertised role, the position holder will work in the Cloud and Infrastructure – Faculty Specialist Systems domain. Key technologies for this domain are outlined below. While it is not essential to be an expert in all these technologies, familiarity with some of them is beneficial:

- Cloud Infrastructure & Platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Service Management (ServiceNow)
- Enterprise Observability (New Relic)
- Identity Security & Governance (Entra, Okta & Sailpoint)
- Enterprise Storage (Dell PowerScale)
- DevOps & CI/CD Tools (GitHub, Terraform, Ansible)
- Data Networking

While the technologies above are the foundation of our infrastructure, this role will be predominately focused on supporting our Faculties, which each have very specialised needs and use a wide range of technologies. This means that the position holder will work closely with the business stakeholders (GMs, Heads of Schools, and their teams), our IT Business Partners, and the technical Faculty Specialist team to define, design, and deliver solutions. In this role, your ability to build relationships, collaborate across teams, and communicate complex ideas clearly is just as significant as your technical expertise.
