Job description

What You'll Do

As a member of the WebEx Meetings Cloud Service organization, you will collaborate with the Software Product Development team to design secure, highly available and scalable environment. This includes cloud adoption plans, cloud application design, and cloud management and monitoring. Cloud architects lead application architecture and deployment in cloud environments.

Responsibilities include the following:

• Good knowledge of at least one operating system:Linux, Unix, Solaris, Ubuntu, Windows. My preference is any LINUX flavored operating system (eg: Ubuntu or Red Hat) but prior experience as an administrator or architect in any of the well known operating systems is also helpful. As a Cloud Architect, you will be making decisions on whether you should be launching a 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, a 32-Bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1, or a Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Base Machine Image. Therefore, you need to be familiar with these concepts and the pros and cons of using different operating systems.
• Good understanding of networking:TCP/IP, IP addresses, HTTP, DNS. Is all this everyday lingo for you? Again, I suggest that you have some familiarity with these concepts before pursuing a role as a cloud architect.
• Computer Programming Languages:You will need at least a minimal understanding of a programming or scripting language. This is probably not a must, but it will definitely help.
• Security:Security in the cloud is important, and consequently, a high-level understanding of key security concepts is a must for a Cloud Architect. So, an initial knowledge of some basic security concepts such as firewalls is necessary.
