Further stated requirements are strong troubleshooting, documentation and technical leadership skills, and a degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology or an equivalent qualification.

Where to find and apply safely
Use the Apply button on this page, which points to the original CareerJunction advert. Do not share identity documents or banking details with anyone claiming to be the employer through unofficial channels, and never pay a fee to apply for a job. If a message asks for payment or pressures you to share sensitive personal information, treat it as a scam and stop.
Practical tips
Architecture roles are judged on evidence, so prepare a CV that names the transformation programmes you have led, the governance and design-review processes you ran, and the integration landscapes you covered, including SAP, Kafka, application programming interfaces and operational technology where relevant. If you hold TOGAF certification or CCIE-level expertise, highlight it, since the advert marks both as advantageous. Be ready to talk through a complex enterprise environment you governed end to end, including how you handled security, networking and disaster recovery.
