Alternate pathways to becoming an IT architect

"There are many paths but only one journey"

Here at Cyma we don't believe in traditional career paths, to succeed in delivering a market-leading consultancy we need representation from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines. We are constantly looking for the thinkers, challengers and innovators who are prepared to take a complex problem and wrestle it to the ground and make sense of it for our clients.

Are you a thinker, challenger and innovator who is considering a career move into IT architecture? Regardless of your current job title, or where you are in your career journey, if you have some experience in technology or the application of technology to business, then keep reading - this blog is for you.

For us the perfect candidate is not just defined by skills and qualifications, but a sum of many parts: curiosity, big thinking, challenging, creating change, being outside the box. We are looking for the 'different' - those that will challenge us and challenge our clients to feed our Revolution in IT consulting.

One of our key points of difference (and cool parts of working at Cyma) is how diverse our current team is - we come from a wide range of different industries, disciplines and backgrounds. This fuels the Cyma fire, gives us our edge and makes for an exciting and engaging workplace. We never stand still, we are always growing and always challenging.

Cyma is growing quickly and we have great opportunities for people who don’t fit the traditional mould to join our team as IT architects. In particular, we’re interested in people who have worked as a business analyst, business process analyst, infrastructure engineer, systems engineer, developer/tech lead, integration consultant, technology consultant, data consultant. But… those are just titles. If you could squeeze into one of these, then get in touch. We might be the right fit for you.

We are passionate about helping people forge new pathways into IT architecture roles, and we invest continuous effort in coaching and mentoring to help everyone in the organisation on their path. We constantly get told working at Cyma is not like any other consultancy, and we are proud of that.

We are driven by our core values of community, innovation and serious fun, using these values every day to guide and shape our culture, consulting and behaviours. We work with some of New Zealand’s leading businesses, on projects that are challenging and interesting, and we have fun while doing it. There’s never been a better time to embrace a career change and see what new paths can open up for you. Join the Revolution.
