• Strong knowledge of software design and architectural patterns. Ability to serve as a subject matter expert for software and architectural frameworks, methods, and tools.
• Solid software development life-cycle experience, and a proven record of designing and delivering large scale applications.
• Solid experience in OOAD (Object Oriented Analysis and Design).
• Sound understanding of distributed systems, virtualization, open source, and Cloud technologies.
• Experience with legacy systems and phased application integration.
• Excellent presentation skills. Comfortable interacting at board level both internally and with our customers, many of whom are Fortune 500.

• Familiarity with technical modeling approaches (e.g., UML, E / R diagrams, flowcharting) and the ability to create effective diagrams and design documentation.
• Understanding of issues surrounding availability, redundancy, fault-tolerance, performance, load balancing, monitoring, diagnostics, and security.
• Ability to lead through influence. The Chief Software Architect must be able to quickly establish technical credibility with technical teams.
