Solution Engineer for Global Leader

When was the last time you had a chance to join a company that was the clear, dominant leader in its space?

 “Business Process Management” can mean many things, but getting tangled in technical details doesn’t explain why you need to join Pegasystems now. Our platform helps the world’s largest companies manage their most critical and complex processes, but that isn’t the reason you’ll want to work here. Our Pega Rules Process Commander can help a company define, design, deploy and update powerful applications with convention-defying speed and agility. Grasping the scope of our competitive advantage is what will make you want to be part of new wave of growth

 

If you have ever used an application that lacked features you might have liked, but accepted that adding even small changes can take months or longer, you’ll appreciate this scenario:

 

Imagine a company with 24 departments that has 1,000 total users on its primary application, and each department requested custom features. Imagine all the changes were made overnight without touching the code and the application was ready the next day. PRPC can do that.

 

IBM ran independent tests on our platform’s performance, and we simulated 31,000 simultaneous users with response times of .5 seconds. We can add new product features for a single user while the rest of the community continues to use the application. This bit of wizardry doesn’t even involve touching the code. For a real-world equivalent comparison, imagine trying to rebuild the engine of a NASCAR racer while driving it 190 miles per hour.

 

 If you could work for a company who could do that, or compete against it, which would you choose? This is what is being said about us, so why not come see how we do it?
