As a Solution Architect I, you will join us in creating software solutions that are well designed and take a long-term strategic view. By considering the impact of design choices today against an understanding of a software product’s strategic direction, our solution architects seek to limit future constraints and provide the correct amount of flexibility while delivering business value with timely releases. The team achieves this by placing business capabilities into Hagerty’s Technology Portfolio of Software Assets, by architecting software services, designing APIs, and maintaining clear bounded contexts between each. As excellent communicators and leaders within the organization, they ensure all audiences are aligned on why our software solutions are required, how they are implemented, and what they achieve.
