Is the Pega Lead System Architect role on-site?

Yes — this role is on-site at the client's Charlotte, NC location, five days per week. The client's culture and delivery cadence are calibrated around in-person collaboration for this position. Relocation support may be available for the right candidate; the recruiter will confirm during your calibration call.

Is this a permanent role?

Yes — this is a full time direct-hire position with the client. On offer acceptance, you onboard directly onto the client's payroll and benefits. ApTask's role is placement only; the recruiter stays in touch for the first 90 days as a check-in, but your day-to-day relationship is with the client's hiring manager.

What is the compensation range for this role?

The advertised range for this Pega Lead System Architect role is $60–$63 per hour. Where you land within the band depends on validated experience, the specific stack calibration match, and — for contract engagements — the bill-rate the client has locked in for this requisition. The recruiter will discuss the exact number during your calibration call.

How quickly does the interview process move?

ApTask's benchmark on this vertical is 19 days on average from résumé submission to signed offer — driven by validated, pre-verified profiles and a client relationship where the hiring manager reviews our shortlist within 48 hours. If your profile is a fit for this role, you can expect the recruiter's first call within one business day.

What technical skills does the Pega Lead System Architect role require?

The client is targeting depth in Pega. Adjacent experience is welcome — we routinely place candidates whose exact stack match is 60-70% when the underlying pattern (distributed systems, regulated-data handling, or comparable) is strong. Bring the full stack breadth to your calibration call; the recruiter will map it onto the client's evaluation scorecard.
