Operations Architect
Comcast Corporation
Englewood, CO, 80110, USA
CET This position is responsible for managing, gathering, and processing information related to Comcast operations architecture leadership and delivery. Responsibilities include BSS and/or OSS (Business/Service/Network management) operational and technical architecture. This individual will collaborate with Comcast technical teams, business, engineering product teams, Operations personnel, Enterprise Technology, Product Managers, and Strategic Partners/Vendors in gathering or creating Operational requirements and engineering comprehensive and cost-effective operations architectures that meet functional and performance expectations.The candidate will be expected to function in the role as a . The ops architect will lead the design, build, and test of development and operations architecture components/solutions. The Operations Architect has multiple levels of participation depending on the lifecycle:
Concept Phase:
In the Concept Phase, the OA is responsible for discovering potential operational and security requirements and identifying integration points with existing systems.Analysis Phase:
In the Analysis Phase, the OA is the skin in the game for operations during early design and vendor analysis. At this phase, the OA defines/enforces initial requirements for security, maintainability, monitoring, data retention, scalability, reporting and performance. The OA will ensure that logging complies with established standards around level of detail, format and location. Design:
In the Design Phase, the OA works with development/COTS vendors to establish a scaling model, gathers availability requirements and loops in necessary SMEs such as the Security team, Network Engineers, SAN engineers, etc. The OA also works closely with development to ensure that the initial design adheres to the operational requirements established in the previous phase. The output mid-way through this phase is a physical topology diagram of the dev, functional QA, and integration environments. The physical design for Production and Staging (Performance Testing Env) are delivered at the end of this phase. These diagrams are used as blueprints by the different teams to purchase/build the environments.Development:
In the Development Phase, the OA works with the dev team to validate assumptions related to the scaling model and application performance. Once final scaling numbers are established and changes in sizing are accounted for, the hardware orders are placed. The OA reviews in the system design in detail with the impacted operations teams. Also during this phase, the OA facilitates an Operational Review between development and the production support teams and a Security Review between development and the security team(s).Testing:
In the Testing Phase, the OA reviews performance test data. The OA designs and facilitates operational recoverability testing with the Test Engineers, DBA's and SAs. These results are used to validate the design against the requirements established in the initial phases. The OA is the SME for the infrastructure and helps identify any design performance/availability issues. The OA works with Engineering to address infrastructure gaps found during testing and creates CRs for development to address code-related issues. The output of this phase is the Run Book describing the various points of failure and failover mechanisms. Implementation:
In the Implementation Phase, the OA works with Operations to do last minute checks to ensure all components are available and functioning as designed (connectivity between systems, port definitions, etc). Monitoring is also tested in this phase. The OA is also an escalation point for Infrastructure-level questions and issues. In addition to their role in the SDLC, the OA is responsible for recommendations related to:
-Shared Infrastructure not tied directly to a sing
