Insight Global is seeking a Hands-On Application Architect for an Enterprise level customer.

The ideal candidate has a senior modern java background who can architect solutions while remaining close to implementation, including building POCs, troubleshooting complex issues, making technology decisions, and working directly with development teams. This is not a high-level governance architecture role. We are looking for someone who can design the solution, prove it works, and enable developers to successfully build it.
