Security Solutions Architect

Since 2001, Verinext Systems has led the way in representing innovative, industry leading technology solutions with a customer-first mentality. In a market where many vendors are tied to a specific manufacturer’s offerings, or treat all technology like it is a commodity, Verinext has been a highly differentiated solution provider with our architecture led, multi-disciplinary approach. Our engagement process is to first help customers optimize their current investments in technology and then determine where strategic, healthy disruption can help them achieve business advantages while also reducing costs.

Verinext’s unbiased, yet prescriptive multi-vendor approach to solution architecture across Customer Experience, Cyber Security, Hybrid Cloud, Automation, AI, Analytics, Business Applications, and IT Operations has resulted in significant and sustained growth.  Verinext has been listed on the Inc. 500/5000 list of the fastest growing privately held companies in the United States every year for the last 10 years.  This feat, achieved by less than 1% of companies, showcases not only success with our unique approach to business solutions but the capability to adapt quickly to the ever-changing technology landscape. Over the past 20+ years, we have helped numerous enterprise clients in a variety of industries, including finance, healthcare, government and higher education - and are widely recognized in the industry for our business and technical excellence.

In order to continue our growth and high quality of consultative solution design and delivery, we are seeking an experienced, enterprise architecture and cyber security leader to join the Solution Architecture team in our Blue Bell, PA (Philadelphia) office.  This customer facing role includes the following responsibilities and skill sets:
