  • Evaluate external systems and solutions through detailed analysis of their technologies, delivery methodologies, vulnerability assessments, compliance statuses, and operational support capabilities
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to find opportunities to optimize and automate both workflows and quality

You Have These: 

  • Extensive hands-on experience and success with architecting solutions that are scalable, secure, performant, robust, responsive, adaptive, and cost-efficient including web applications and industrial-grade enterprise systems

  • Significant experience modernizing legacy applications involving architecture and technology upgrades

  • Robust planning and organization skills with a track record delivering multiple projects & workstreams concurrently, against critical deadlines
  • Proven skills and success with vendor management for different business models including augmented teams, outsourced development, and managed services for both product and operations
  • Hands-on experience with modern WXPs (e.g., Webflow), CMSs (e.g., Contentful), and/or DXPs (e.g., Adobe Experience Manager, Liferay, etc.)
  • Expert-level and demonstrable grasp of SSDLC, STLC, CI/CD, and DevOps practices
  • Hands-on experience with AWS cloud-native capabilities (e.g., EC2, ECS, RDS, VPN, VPCs, etc.). Possess a strong knowledge of cloud computing concepts, including scalability, reliability, and security.
  • Networking and Security: Familiarity with networking principles, security best practices, and IAM (Identity and Access Management).

  • In-depth understanding of what constitutes a comprehensive and mature cybersecurity readiness, including methods, tools, solutions, and infrastructure
  • Solid grasp and application of modern QA practices, including QA automation and non-functional test paradigms canvassing security, accessibility, usability, regression, and performance testing

  • In-depth knowledge of usability principles including interaction design, user research, data analysis, etc.
  • Strong presentation skills with ability to influence both technical and non-technical audiences

To foster an environment of collaboration, develop our future talent, and build on relationships across leadership, peers, and teams, we work from the office 1-2 days per week for those who are based out of cities where there are available team offices/hubs. We see immeasurable value internally and throughout the core of the businesses we support.

We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
