The Opportunity: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 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 lead solution architect on our team, you'll translate your customer's IT needs and future goals into a plan by crafting technical architectures and design approaches supporting project needs. Through your leadership as Technical Direction Plan (TDP) Lead, we'll help transform the way your customer uses technology, including cloud 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 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.
