AXWAY

Job Information

Job Id - AXWAY-SRSULT-REL2

Company - Axway

Location - Phoenix, Arizona

Position - Technical Consultant / Sr. Technical

Senior Technical Consultants looking for high profile assignments on which to grow professionally have an excellent opportunity working at an Axway customer site in Phoenix, Arizona.  Among the reasons why Senior Technical Consultants at Axway are elite players in the ranks of professional services are these:

* You become a trusted advisor to business users, integration staff and I.T. specialists at some of the world's most recognized companies in finance, telecommunications, healthcare and supply chain, as well as the public sector.

* You consult on high profile, large scale solutions delivering robust, game-changing improvements to core business processes that touch all of an organization's business interactions.

* You implement progressive iterative and Agile project methodologies on long lasting engagements that provide you both personal satisfaction and day-to-day decision making and autonomy.

If the above matters to you - and it should from a career perspective - then you'll thrive in this role. Our Senior Technical Consultants drive customer engagements and provide the direction, and inspiration that will instill confidence in both client-side stakeholders, system integrator partners and fellow Axway consulting services colleagues. You'll work where the rubber meets the road. The process improvements you enact involve mission critical issues that impact lives - allowing a bank to more efficiently process your loan or mortgage, or enabling a health care provider's call center to address a coverage issues in moments, not minutes. Unlike most professional services work, travel here is pegged at 25%, and with renewals our engagements can last years, allowing you to establish meaningful relationships with your clients.

Axway, the Business Interaction Networks company, is the leading global provider of multi-enterprise solutions and infrastructure, serving more than 11,000 organizations in more than 100 countries. Axway speeds and secures business interactions both inside and outside the enterprise by optimizing the way information is moved, managed and protected. Axway provides professional and managed services, as well as cloud computing and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Axway's global presence spans 20 countries. We offer a full benefit package including medical, dental, vision and a 401K matching program. Please learn more about us at: www.axway.com

As our Senior Technical Consultant working in or near our Phoenix, Arizona, office your first mission will be teaming with a mentor and coming up to speed on all things Axway. Once armed, you'll put your understanding of Unix, networking protocols, load balancing, capacity planning and performance monitoring to work on a customer engagement. No day in this position is ever quite the same, and your involvement will range from tactical to strategic.  You're sufficiently hands on with TCP tracing to see where or if a firewall is causing a problem; you can write scripts in Unix Shell or Perl to monitor a process; and you're also enough of a visionary to offer insights on the merits of cloud computing and/or a particular middleware integration issue. Key markers for success in this role will be your ability to quickly size up a customer's business process improvement objectives and map those into Axway's capabilities. You'll need to understand where the gaps are, determine the overall degree of fit and consider the extent of customization required to ensure improvements for the customer within our framework, using the most appropriate project approach and implementation methods. In one sense, the position boils down to being able to assess a complex situation and logically move it forward in stages through the lens of scoping, estimating, resource planning and, ultimately, implementation execution. The enterprise nature of our solutions lends itself to the seasoned consultant who has worked alongside technical architects, business analysts, designers and developers and who conceptually understands object-oriented architectures, and can successfully lead a solution implementation to a 'Go-Live' production status, effectively managing expectations, issues and risks along the way. The Sr. Technical Consultant is also skilled at communicating status, concepts, and recommendations, both regularly and succinctly, to executive stakeholders and other project leaders. Axway is an organization that expects the best from its employees and, in turn, delivers the recognition, training and financial rewards to help you prosper in your career.
