Hitachi Solutions provides high quality solutions with predictable delivery. We do this with clear process, standards, and an unrivaled commitment to quality. As a Modern Applications Solution Architect, you will be the lynchpin of our application development engagements.
Modern Applications Solution Architects lead client engagements from definition through delivery. You will collaborate with customers to scope the engagement, define requirements, turn those requirements into application design and architecture, create a delivery plan, and manage a team of developers and quality assurance engineers in delivering high quality applications.
Hitachi Solutions practices hands on leadership, so our Architect and Delivery leaders will be equally at home leading teams and writing software.
Remote working is normal as long as you can meet client expectations.
