At a certain point, experience-based system design can start to look like clairvoyance. When you’ve developed so many systems that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technology-based challenge, but you can also anticipate and preempt future issues, you’re a solutions architect. You’ve evolved your skills into strategy through a long path of software development accomplishments and the curiosity to understand how all the pieces of an IT ecosystem fit together. Are you ready to use your combination of knowledge, skill, and experience to take on the toughest challenges? 

As a systems architect, you will assist with the holistic approach to managing multiple technology systems, including requirements analysis, solution development, integration, and strategic planning. You will help translate the customer’s Information Technology needs and goals into a vision that is aligned with business objectives and priorities. You will assist with the design, implementation, optimization, and maintenance of these systems by providing subject matter expertise and industry best practices. You will provide comprehensive definition of all aspects of system development from analysis of mission needs to verification of system performance. You will assist with the development and management of roadmaps and architectural documentation, ensuring they continue to evolve to meet business needs, improve operational efficiencies, and take advantage of emerging technologies. You will apply your technical expertise, leverage a variety of software engineering techniques, and build and refine business logic to enhance team capabilities, improve security, and maximize ROI.
