Director of Solutions Architect

A leading investment management firm is looking for a Director of Solutions Architecture to join their Boston team on a full-time basis, with 3 days onsite per week. This role will focus on designing and delivering secure, scalable enterprise technology solutions across a modern AWS cloud environment, with a strong emphasis on software development, data platforms, APIs, cloud architecture, and emerging AI/ML technologies.
