About the Role

We're looking for a sharp, technically fluent Solutions Architect who thrives at the intersection of engineering and customer engagement. This is not a paper-pushing architect role - you'll write code, guide implementations, and shape the architecture of mission-critical systems for top-tier clients. You'll be a strategic advisor, trusted technical partner, and hands-on builder, helping our customers scale their infrastructure, adopt new technologies, and solve complex problems in real time.

What You'll Do
  • Engage directly with enterprise customers to understand their goals, requirements, and technical landscape
  • Design scalable, secure, and performant solutions tailored to each customer's needs
  • Build prototypes and write code to validate architectural decisions (we mean it - you'll still code)
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to influence roadmaps based on client feedback
  • Lead architecture workshops, whiteboarding sessions, and technical deep dives
  • Serve as the technical voice in sales, onboarding, and solution design conversations
  • Act as a trusted advisor, from proof-of-concept to production deployment and beyond
What We're Looking For
  • Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field from a top-tier university.
  • 4-8 years of experience in software development, systems architecture, or solutions engineering
  • Proficient in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, Go, Java, JavaScript)
  • Strong foundation in system design, cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure), and APIs
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills - you can talk to developers and executives alike
  • Proven ability to lead technical conversations and drive alignment in customer-facing settings
  • Experience in a fast-paced startup or high-growth tech environment is a big plus
Bonus Points
  • Prior experience in pre-sales, customer success, or consulting
  • Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and DevOps workflows
  • Open source contributions or public code samples
Why Join Us
  • Shape architectural decisions for some of the most innovative companies in the world
  • Work with a smart, mission-driven team of builders and problem-solvers
  • Competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits
  • Flexible, remote-first culture with opportunities for travel and growth
