We are looking for Solution Architects who win complex cloud, data, and AI engagements.
You own the technical solution in presales: from discovery to architecture to proposal. Your success is measured primarily by whether the customer commits — because they trust the solution and the thinking behind it.
After a deal is closed, you briefly attach to the delivery teams to ensure architectural continuity and a strong start, then move on to the next opportunity.
This is a front-of-the-deal, high-impact role, not a long-term delivery position.
Your operating model
- Lead technical discovery and translate business problems into clear, compelling solution designs
- Shape cloud-native architectures that are realistic, scalable, and differentiated
- Work closely with Sales and Delivery on proposals, RFPs, and executive conversations
- Explain complex systems clearly to both technical teams and senior business stakeholders
- Stress-test ideas with Delivery and Technology leaders to ensure solutions are executable in the real world
- Attach post-sale to stabilize early delivery and clarify architectural intent
How you’ll be judged
- Your technical win rate and ability to earn customer trust
- The clarity, credibility, and coherence of your solution designs
- Your judgment when balancing ambition with feasibility
- How effectively you collaborate across Sales, Delivery, and Technology to move deals forward
- Your ability to operate calmly and decisively in ambiguous, high-pressure presales situation
Your experience should look roughly like this
- Typically 7+ years in solution architecture, technical consulting, or senior engineering roles
- Proven experience in presales or customer-facing technical roles, shaping and winning complex deals
- Strong foundation in cloud architecture (Google Cloud (GCP) preferred), data platforms, or distributed systems
- Demonstrated ability to operate at both technical and executive levels
- Track record of turning ambiguous problems into clear, trusted solutions
The level of technical fluency we expect
This is not a pure hands-on engineering role — but you must be technically convincing.
- You are comfortable reasoning about systems beyond diagrams: data flows, failure modes, integration points, and trade-offs
- You can go one level deeper when needed — sketching, validating assumptions, or rough-prototyping ideas to de-risk decisions
- You are pragmatic about tools, languages, and platforms, and can adapt as technology choices evolve
- You use modern approaches, including AI-assisted exploration or prototyping, to think faster, test ideas, and sharpen solutions
- You know when “good enough to decide” is better than “perfect but late”
You don’t need to be the best coder in the room — but you cannot bluff the technical side of this role.
Explicit non-responsibilities
- Owning delivery execution, project management, or P&L
- Being measured by lines of code or ticket throughput
- Spending months embedded in a single project
- Acting as a standards-only or governance-only architect
What makes this role distinctive
- You operate at the most decisive moment of the lifecycle: when deals are won or lost
- Success is visible, measurable, and directly tied to impact
- You work on complex, non-trivial customer problems — not commodity projects
- You collaborate with strong peers in Solution Architecture, and across Delivery, Technology, and Sales
- You get autonomy, trust, and accountability — without unnecessary process
