Job Description

RMS has an outstanding opportunity for a Technical Architect to join us based in our Hoboken, NJ office.

We are one of the most exciting companies you've probably 'never' heard of unless you're one of our hundreds of clients in the (re)insurance, banking or hedge fund sector.

The team's focus will be to develop solutions that are as scalable as possible, with bespoke client engagements occurring around the periphery of those standard approaches.
