Network Systems Architect, SME
The Opportunity:
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 systems architect. You’ve evolved your skills into strategy and have 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 take on the toughest challenges for our customers?
As a SME Systems Architect on our team, you'll translate your customer’s future goals into a plan. With your guidance, we’ll help transform the way the customer uses existing and new technology including system migration, integrating advanced technology, and modernizing legacy systems. What do you do next in a career where you’ve reached this level? You mentor the next set of Engineers to help them grow into tomorrow’s systems architects.
