What are the responsibilities and job description for the Business Support Systems Solution Architect position at Centex Technologies?
Company Overview
Centex Technologies is a premier IT consulting firm that has been bridging the gap between complex technology and business efficiency since 2006. With a footprint extending across Texas and Georgia, we specialize in high-stakes sectors including Federal and State government, education, and commercial enterprise. Our expertise spans Cybersecurity, DevSecOps, and Digital Transformation, recently marked by our CMMC Level 2 status and GSA purchasing vehicle acquisitions.
At our core, we are a family-oriented organization. We operate on the principles of transparency and empowerment, ensuring that every team member has the tools to solve "impossible" problems for our clients. We don't just maintain systems; we build secure, innovative environments that allow our partners to thrive.
Job Summary
We are seeking a seasoned Systems Solutions Architect to join our headquarters in Killeen (or our Austin/Dallas hubs). In this role, you will be the primary technical visionary for our enterprise clients, designing robust infrastructure that meets stringent federal security standards. You will work directly with our leadership team—including our CEO—to translate client business goals into scalable technical blueprints. This is not a "behind-the-scenes" role; you will be an active consultant, lead mentor, and the technical face of our most critical projects.
