The role calls for deep technical expertise and the ability to advise security and infrastructure leadership, including explaining risk-based design decisions to executive stakeholders. The position also includes broader product and solution architecture work: developing architectural designs, evaluating technology strategies, building proofs of concept, assessing design impacts and risks, supporting implementation and deployment, and improving solution scalability, reliability, cost, and performance. The architect will collaborate across security, IAM, cloud, endpoint, application, sales, development, consulting, and delivery teams; document and communicate architecture recommendations; and contribute to Wipro's architecture practice and thought leadership. The role is full-time and located in Monroe Township, New Jersey. The stated compensation range is $60,000 to $135,000, with final compensation dependent on factors including location, skills, and relevant experience. Wipro's standard benefits include medical and dental options, disability insurance, paid time off inclusive of sick leave, and other paid and unpaid leave options.
