You Are:
Most software developers, engineers, and architects get to build software systems. Very few get to say with a straight face: “I’m reinventing banking.” Or hospitality, or logistics, or insurance. We’re combining technology, industry expertise, and entrepreneurial experience to massively disrupt our clients’ core businesses. We partner with our clients to propel them into the future and to help create better products and experiences for everyone. We’re doing this by leveraging the power of patterns (Anti-Corruption Layering, Strangler fig, Microservices, Event Sourcing, etc) and technologies (Kafka, Solace, Change Data Capture, Node.js, Go, Containerization, PaaS) to build cloud-native solutions for the enterprise based on modern event driven architectures. Our team is deeply hands-on, highly technical, and prides itself in being battle hardened, lead-from-the-front technology thought leaders. The ability to take complex ideas, synthesize them for common understanding, while maintaining a focus on details is a must for this role. In this role as an Engineering Systems Architect, you will be the lynch pin to convert human ideas into delivered production functionality. Our practitioners in this space are advocates for modern engineering practices back by hands-on experience. You will be called on to play DevOps roles designing, optimizing, and troubleshooting pipelines one day. You will be challenged to optimize observability and provide input on performance issues as an SRE the next. You will be challenged to raise your voice in support of modern software engineering practices to keep humans and machines focused on their strengths and remove bureaucracy. While not all of these hats are worn at once, successful practitioners must have peripheral vision to view a wide landscape and be willing to direct their energy to where it is needed most.Preferred Background in 1 of the following industries:
Financial Services:
We are in the midst of helping clients fundamentally rethink how to transform 20+ years old systems and services in investment and core banking, payments, retirement and wealth management into modern cloud native.

This also means a fundamental change to architecture, engineering and delivery processes, and re-thinking once unshakeable assumptions.
We are looking for industry veterans who want to help create a healthy balance between regulated traceability, human collaboration, and automated efficiency on the journey from human idea to production functionality.

Supply Chain/Logistics Specific Roles – Text to be Added:
In a world where Just-In-Time logistics is at odds with volatile global economics & disasters, our clients are desperate to build upon their existing expertise with a stronger ability to adapt real-time to changing situations. When the cost of redirecting cargo can fluctuate in minutes, management of supply chain and logistics must merge its short and long-term horizon. This means knowing where everything is in real time, and being able to redirect cargo across multiple channels at scale in minutes rather than hours. We are partnering with our clients to move terabytes of meaningful data in seconds, and then have the engines to analyze and make decisions in minutes.
