Senior IT Architect - Platinion - Capital Markets

As a Senior IT Architect, I will work alongside a bold, energetic, and collaborative team. I will evaluate and coach our clients' technology teams, define technology strategies, architecture solutions, and help design the future. I will develop and grow by being exposed to new and complex challenges daily.

Together with our clients, I will develop superior digital and technology concepts and architecture solutions while actively supporting technical implementations on-site, applying my sound technical know-how, understanding of business contexts, and my analytical and conceptual skills.

I will be supported by an extensive training curriculum, plus technology-specific training and mentoring to help build my technical skills. Finally, as a Senior IT Architect, I will contribute to the Financial Services Practice Area development and help to build our brand as a key member of the case team.
