Role Overview:
The Technical Product Department hosts all the experts who support Murex clients in implementing and maintaining the MX.3 solution. It includes 5 domains: S4C1, PAC2, CEM3, Test Engineering and Technical Architecture.
The main objective of the Technical Architecture domain is that with Murex involvement throughout the entire life cycle of the instance, the client can optimize the total cost of ownership (TCO) of MX.3 and achieve benefits from innovations and time-to-market. The mission is to continuously improve the technical quality of the portfolio of MX.3 instances during their entire life cycle through sustainable design, which aims to be better, faster, cheaper, and more flexible. This approach seeks to reduce time to value, enhance understanding of instance usage and actual business needs, and enable better upgrades for shorter time to market.
To support our transformation, we are looking to hire a Technical Architect to join the team! You will be based in Singapore office to drive the deployment of activities for a portfolio of clients in the APAC region.
In today's environment, solving complex problems throughout the Murex instance life cycle—whether in presales, projects, or production—requires a team to integrate knowledge from various areas of expertise. Accordingly, there is a demand for individuals with T-shaped expertise: those who possess deep knowledge in at least one specific area (such as S4C or PAC) and have the capability to leverage this knowledge across different functional silos. The Architecture domain seeks such professionals to enhance the team's growth and effectiveness.
A Technical Architect in Murex should have a broad expertise across many disciplines, allowing them to identify patterns and devise solutions. They break down complex problems into smaller, solvable parts.
They bridge different expert areas (PAC, S4C, CEM, Test, Project methodology, functional streams), explaining how each person's work interconnects. A Technical Architect is characterized by high openness to new experiences and a desire for knowledge.
