Your day at NTT DATA
NTT DATA is looking for a Senior Data Center Enterprise Architect to play a key role in a strategic Hybrid Multi-Cloud client engagement.
The client will continue to operate a substantial Data Center estate alongside its Public and Private Cloud platforms. The challenge is therefore not simply to maintain traditional infrastructure. It is to modernize and optimize Data Center services while enabling migration, automation, resilience, and integration with the wider Hybrid Multi-Cloud operating model.
You will operate at the intersection of architecture, engineering, transformation and service delivery, working closely with the client’s Enterprise and Infrastructure Architects and with NTT DATA’s Data Center, Private Cloud, Public Cloud, security and operations teams.
The client retains ownership of Data Center strategic architecture, standards, security policies and key architectural decisions. Your role is to act as NTT DATA’s senior architectural advisor for the Data Center domain: translating client direction into implementable designs, recommending improvements, challenging technical decisions where appropriate and ensuring NTT DATA’s managed services remain technically current, resilient and supportable.
You will be an active member of the delivery organization, connecting architectural decisions to engineering, transformation, and ongoing service operations.
This is a client-facing role. You will work directly with client stakeholders in day-to-day delivery discussions and represent NTT DATA at a senior technical level.

• Guide infrastructure modernization and lifecycle decisions across the existing estate.
• Support architecture and lifecycle decisions affecting the existing Cisco UCS/FlexPod, NetApp and Rubrik environment.
• Identify opportunities to reduce technical debt, improve stability, simplify the estate, and reduce infrastructure or software costs.
• Ensure Data Center services integrate with the client’s new OpenShift-based Private Cloud and existing Public Cloud environments.
• Support the architectural aspects of workload migration and Data Center consolidation, including interfaces with the Hybrid Multi-Cloud migration factory.
• Support the client’s Berlin transformation and other in-scope Data Center modernization activities where required.
• Contribute to availability, capacity, resilience, backup, disaster recovery and ransomware-recovery architecture.
• Ensure monitoring, observability and operational-management requirements are considered as part of architecture and design.
• Support integration with the Hybrid…
