END USER COMPUTE (EUC) ARCHITECT

About the role

Own the end-to-end virtual application design that delivers MEPS+ Browse to users. You are accountable for the Omnissa Access cluster, the Horizon brokering layer, the SecureEdgeForMEPS+ published application and the Windows Server 2025 hosting pool — and for making the service resilient across two Horizon PODs and two data centres. You translate the requirements into a buildable design, lead the build with the platform engineers, and hand a stable service to operations.

Requirements

Must Have

• Omnissa Access 26.07
• Omnissa Horizon Broker 2603
• Windows Server 2025 (session hosts)
• Microsoft Edge (published)
• Active Directory global entitlements / multi-POD design

Skills & Experience

Essential

• Deep, hands-on architecture experience with VDI / published-application platforms — Omnissa Horizon (formerly VMware Horizon) and/or Citrix CVAD
• Practical knowledge of Omnissa Access (Workspace ONE Access lineage) or equivalent access/gateway layers, including resource entitlement and publishing
• Multi-POD / multi-site Horizon design, global entitlements and load-balanced RDSH/app pools
• Windows Server 2025 (or recent Server) session-host / RDSH build and application publishing
• Capacity sizing, image/golden-master management and application delivery for published apps
• Experience delivering into regulated / secure environments with strict change control

Desirable

• Prior SWIFT / secure financial-messaging or other high-assurance delivery experience
• Automation of build and configuration (PowerShell / infrastructure-as-code)
• Experience migrating from CVAD to Omnissa Horizon

Responsibilities

• Design and stand up the dedicated Omnissa Access 26.07 cluster designated for MEPS+ Browse access only, publishing the single Access cluster URL that endpoints target
• Design the Horizon Broker 2603 configuration and publish Edge.exe as the SecureEdgeForMEPS+ application, so users see a single launch icon after authentication
• Design and size the Windows Server 2025 hosting pool (the 1..X load-balanced servers) for concurrent MEPS+ demand with N+1 resilience headroom
• Create the global entitlement that spans the two Horizon PODs so the published app is resilient across BAS and FAR data centres
• Define the endpoint experience: the additional desktop icon / URL on the 20–30 dedicated thin clients and the local-browser launch to the Access URL
• Work with the Security Architect to apply the Edge managed-browser lockdown that constrains the session to MEPS+ Browse
• Produce build sheets, test plans (including POD/data-centre failover) and operational runbooks; lead functional and resilience testing and the pilot
• Own the migration approach from the existing CVAD browse path and the cutover/rollback plan
