The Challenge:

At a certain point, experience-based system design can start to look like clairvoyance.

You've evolved your skills into strategy through a long path of software development accomplishments and the curiosity to understand how all of the pieces of an IT ecosystem fit together. Are you ready to use your combination of knowledge, skill, and experience to tackle the toughest challenges in analytics?

As a solutions architect on our team, you'll translate your customer's IT needs and future goals into a plan by crafting enterprise data platforms. Through your leadership, we'll help transform the way our clients use technology, including Cloud migration, integrating advanced technology, and modernizing legacy systems. And, what do you do next in a career where you've reached this level? You mentor the next set of developers to help them grow into tomorrow's solutions architects. As a technical leader, you'll shape the digital solutions business and identify opportunities for growth. Join us and build the future of technology in analytics and data science for the better.
