Your Role

Futurae is seeking an experienced Solutions Architect with exceptional written and verbal communication skills, and a deep background in Open Standards, Identity, and Authentication. In this key role, you will be responsible for defining and promoting best practices for integrating the Futurae platform into a variety of enterprise environments, working closely with both our customers and technical partners.

You will collaborate with internal teams, technical partners, and external clients to identify, validate, and document integration patterns that ensure robust and sustainable deployments of Futurae’s Trust Signals & Authentication Suite. As a Solutions Architect, you will take a hands-on approach in shaping and launching an innovative product line focused on fraud prevention in online interactions. Your expertise will position you as a trusted technical advisor, guiding both customers and internal teams on a wide range of technical and regulatory challenges related to identity and authentication.

We are looking for a candidate with proven, hands-on experience in the Identity and Authentication domain. Ideally, you have worked for a company specializing in IAM, authentication, or digital signature solutions-such as remote signing capabilities-or have contributed to large-scale projects related to the European Wallet or eID/eIDAS initiatives. Experience as an active member of working groups with standardization bodies such as W3C, FIDO, NIST, ANSSI, BSI, ETSI, or IETF is highly desirable. If you do not yet possess this experience, we expect that you are proactively seeking such opportunities and actively engaging with open standards or subject matter experts in the field.

Success in this role requires the ability to quickly master the technical aspects of the Futurae platform and independently consult on complex integration scenarios. You should feel confident presenting to diverse audiences and facilitating technical discussions, as well as developing clear technical documentation and specifications. A strong understanding of the regulatory landscape-including PSD3/PSR, EU Digital Wallet ARF, ETSI, and related frameworks-is essential, as is a solid grasp of cybersecurity fundamentals, given the close collaboration with our security team.

This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact at Futurae, helping to shape the future of secure, user-centric authentication solutions for enterprises across Europe and beyond. If you are passionate about identity, open standards, and driving innovation in digital security, we encourage you to apply and join our mission.
