Enterprise Solutions Architect – Regulated Deployments

United States Digital Space LLC; United Kingdom; On-site; GBP 90,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job summary

PlanePlane seeks a seasoned Solutions Architect to own the technical architecture for enterprise and regulated deployments, from discovery to signed SOW. You will design self-hosted and air-gapped deployments meeting strict security reviews.

You will run technical discovery with compliance teams, translate requirements into concrete deployment decisions, and collaborate with sales and engineering to address product gaps with precise, scoped requests.

Qualifications

• You have designed and defended a technical architecture to a skeptical buyer, and you can walk us through one deal where the customer's own security or infrastructure team changed your design.
• You understand self-hosted and on-premises deployment beyond a docker-compose file, including networking, SSO and identity federation, and what changes when a customer runs the software instead of you.
• You can read a security questionnaire or compliance requirement and translate it into an actual deployment decision, not a reassurance.
• You are comfortable being the technical voice on a sales call, including the parts where the answer is no or not yet.
• You write technical documentation a customer's own engineers will actually follow, because you will not be in the room when they run it.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical architecture for enterprise and regulated-industry deployments, from the first discovery call through a signed statement of work.
• Design self-hosted and air-gapped the company deployments that satisfy a specific customer's security review, not a generic best-practice checklist.
• Run technical discovery with customers whose infrastructure and compliance teams will pick apart every answer you give, and be right often enough that they trust the next one.
• Define the migration path when a customer moves off two or three existing tools at once, including what data does not survive the move and saying so up front.
• Work daily with sales on live deals and with engineering when a customer's requirements expose a real gap in the product, carrying that gap back as a specific, scoped request rather than a vague one.
• Answer the same security questionnaire in a slightly different format for the fourth time this month, because every regulated buyer's procurement process is its own small bureaucracy and none of them read each other's paperwork.
