• Design Reusability: Architect modular, scalable solutions that can be extended across customers and verticals.
• Drive Delivery: Collaborate with Applied AI engineers to oversee solution implementation, ensuring architectural alignment and execution excellence.
• Support Pre-Sales: Partner with sales engineers and customer teams to scope new opportunities, define technical requirements, and provide input on feasibility and effort.
• Lead Innovation: Stay ahead of emerging trends in AI, software integration, and business transformation—and bring that insight to our solution designs.
• Maintain Quality & Compliance: Ensure all solutions meet performance, security, and compliance standards.
• Travel Ready: Willingness to travel up to 50% for on-site discovery, deployment, and customer engagement.

What You Bring

• Experience: 8+ years in solution architecture or consulting roles, focused on enterprise-scale, customer-facing software implementations.
• AI & Cloud: Hands-on experience with generative AI tools, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), and modern integration patterns (APIs, webhooks, pipelines).
• Business Acumen: Strong understanding of customer priorities, with the ability to translate business needs into technical execution plans.
• Design Thinking: A problem-solver with a growth mindset, skilled in crafting scalable and future-proof architectures.
• Communication: Exceptional ability to convey complex technical and business concepts to diverse stakeholders—both technical and non-technical.
• Project Leadership: Proficiency with project planning tools and methodologies; capable of managing multiple solution tracks and timelines.
• Metrics Focus: Proven ability to define and track success through OKRs, KPIs, and tangible business outcomes.
• SaaS & Platform Fluency: Background in SaaS or enterprise platforms, with understanding of extensibility and multi-tenant design principles.
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline. Advanced degrees or certifications in AI/architecture frameworks (e.g., TOGAF, SAFe) are a plus.
