Responsibilities

We are looking for an exceptional Technical Architect to join our growing team. In this role, you will be responsible for:

  • Lead business requirements sessions with customer technical and business stakeholders
  • Develop architectural designs for customer integrations and automations
  • Conduct recipe reviews and advise on unit, integration, and user acceptance testing best practices

  • Conduct post-live deployment health checks and provide guidance on recipe and process optimisations
  • Provide thorough knowledge transfer to customer and partner teams
Platform Evangelism & Advisory
  • Apply and advise on Workato frameworks, including GEARS and the Workato Embedded Product Guide, aligned to customer organisational needs
  • Stay current with AI, agentic automation, and MCP-based integration trends, and help customers understand how these capabilities — including Workato’s Enterprise MCP — can extend and enhance their automation architectures
  • Serve as a Workato evangelist — demonstrating how Workato drives business automation across both direct and embedded deployments in a broad set of industries
  • Become the trusted technical advisor to customers and partners from an overall solution, architecture, and implementation perspective
AI Value Realization & Change Advisory
  • Advise customers on organizational readiness, adoption, and governance practices required for AI and agentic automation initiatives to translate into measurable business value
  • Facilitate value-mapping and business case workshops that tie automation and AI initiatives to specific, trackable outcomes
  • Identify and proactively address the non-technical failure modes of AI projects — unclear ownership, poor process fit, weak executive sponsorship, change fatigue — during scoping and delivery
  • Partner with customer executive sponsors to define success metrics and track value realization post-go-live
Thought Leadership & Team Contribution
  • Contribute to the growth of the Professional Services department by creating or enhancing content such as presentations, demos, white papers, best practices, architecture patterns — including MCP and agentic automation patterns — and online courses for use by customers and to enable our extended team
  • Mentor and train team members from pre-sales and post-sales teams, enabling them with content and knowledge
  • Develop content to coach our partner ecosystem on Workato delivery best practices
Requirements
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field; non-traditional but comparable proven experience will also be considered
  • 5+ years of technology transformation consulting, including hands-on implementation experience with one or more common integration, middleware, or API management solutions
  • Proven results leading and overseeing customer and/or partner success across: front-end and back-end solution architecture, enterprise architecture, development and test/release management strategies, change management, and direct leadership in designing solutions that meet or exceed customer needs
  • Experience documenting business processes and applying technology to optimise and automate them
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to engage effectively with technical, business, and C-level stakeholders
  • Deep understanding of security and governance requirements for large enterprise organisations
  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to convey and relate ideas to others and collaborate in a cross-functional environment
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to communicate ideas visually and deliver professional presentations
  • Self-starter who can work independently and as part of a distributed team, with a willingness to take ownership of situations and problems
  • Ability to travel to client sites up to 25% (may vary based on prevailing circumstances)
  • Demonstrated ability to consult on organizational change and adoption, not solely technical implementation — able to speak credibly to why AI and automation initiatives fail to realize value even when the technology works
Nice to Have
  • Experience as an enterprise and/or digital architect
  • Master’s degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering
  • Knowledge of key applications such as Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, ServiceNow, SAP, or Oracle E-Business Suite
  • Knowledge of cloud infrastructure platforms including AWS, Azure, and GCP
  • Experience working in a start-up or high-growth environment
  • Track record of continuous learning of new technologies and leading projects that push the capabilities of existing platforms
  • Track record of driving software expansions as a direct result of professional services engagements

  • Familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how MCP-based architectures enable AI agents to interact with enterprise systems and workflows; experience with Workato’s Enterprise MCP capabilities is a strong advantage
  • Familiarity with change management frameworks (e.g., ADKAR, Kotter) as applied to technology adoption
  • Experience building or presenting value realization frameworks or business cases to executive stakeholders
