As a Technology Advisor at Reaktor, your job is to

Help our clients take advantage of digital to excel in business

You’re a technologist at heart, and you know how to do things the smart way in any context, comfortable working closely with the clients’ senior staff and IT leadership and enjoy collaborating with other Reaktorians, and eager to take a deep dive into the characteristics of your client’s industry whatever it might be to help them with their core business challenges spanning over technology, governance, and organization as well as within individual systems.

It may be anything between designing cloud infrastructure, performing technical due diligence ahead of a merger, planning modernization of legacy systems, or analyzing regulatory implications for a software system.
• Following the projects from the very first sales meetings to the finish line. You are the best person to sell your own expertise and we believe the team responsible for project delivery should be part of the sales process. Thus, you will also be collaborating closely with your colleagues in sales efforts to maximize our chances of success.

• Helping our clients pick the right technologies, architectures, and organizational structures.

• Wearing different kinds of hats depending on the project and client. Our Technology Advisors’ role is not set in stone. They can do anything starting from local sales support and technical assessments of existing systems and codebases to feasibility studies, ending with developing a technology strategy for a billion-dollar retail company with locations across multiple continents.
