Frontend Solution Architect (Angular) - Senior - Nice company - Brussels (employee role)

Description de fonction

The Solution Architect focuses on delivering creative solutions for business problems that span multiple technology domains. Solution Architecture may leverage software packages, systems, applications and infrastructure components to solve a business problem. It may span broad technology specialization and views the other architecture domains as tools that contribute to the solution set for the problem being addressed. The Solution Architect focuses on both the internal and external structures and behavior of the solutions set, and is aware of the architectural constraints imposed by the internal organization. Internal structure includes how the components and sub-components of a particular system will work together.
