Job description

Solution Architect / Senior Solution Architect / Principal Architect / Enterprise Architect Job Description

Who we're looking for

A Client-Facing Builder-Architect: someone who can talk trade-offs with a client in the morning and be deep in the logs with the dev team by the afternoon. You bridge business goals and technical execution, and you stay close enough to the code to know what you're advising on.

As a Solution Architect, you own the end-to-end technical solution. You're the person a client's leadership trusts to turn a business goal into a design, and the person engineers trust to make that design work in practice. Your mantra: design, validate and deliver the right end-to-end solution.

• A trusted advisor. You're a technical sounding board for client technology and business leaders, and you translate dense tech into business value, risk and cost.
• A zero-ego builder. No ivory tower. You write proofs of concepts, review critical code and dig through logs alongside the developers.
• Calm when it counts. When production breaks or an escalation land, you get methodical and steady, and the room settles with you.
• Diplomatic with pushback. You handle client trade-offs and disagreements with confidence and good grace.
• Commercially pragmatic. You pick business outcomes and delivery speed over a perfect, over-engineered stack.
• Globally minded. You lead distributed teams and bridge US client expectations with India-based delivery pods.
• Full-stack engineering mindset: Demonstrate a full-stack engineering mindset, with the ability to understand and work across the complete application stack, including frontend, backend, APIs, databases, integrations, cloud infrastructure, deployment, security, performance, and observability, as relevant to the solution.
• AI-forward. You use generative AI and AI-assisted engineering tools (LLMs, GitHub Copilot, Claude) in solutions and delivery workflows, with human oversight, security, privacy and governance.
• At home in digital learning. You're comfortable with frameworks like LTI, Ed-Fi, QTI and CEDS in enterprise platform ecosystems.

About the role

We're hiring a Architects: a client-facing technical leader who turns business objectives into end-to-end solutions, then drives them from presales all the way through implementation and production.

You’ll blend client advisory, solution architecture, hands‑on problem‑solving and delivery leadership. You’ll be comfortable in a room with senior client stakeholders, and close enough to engineering to validate decisions and untangle complex technical challenges yourself.

Location

[Remote / Hybrid / On-site City]

Reports to

[Head of Architecture / Engineering Leader]

What you’ll do

• Sit down with client technology and business leaders to understand their strategic goals, business challenges and technical constraints.
• Lead discovery, solution definition, architecture design, technology selection and technical planning for complex applications and enterprise solutions.
• Lay out solution alternatives, build-versus-buy assessments, modernization strategies and technology roadmaps in terms of business value, risk, cost and delivery impact.
• Define the end‑to‑end architecture across application, integration, data, cloud, security and infrastructure, as the solution needs.
• Stay hands‑on: build proofs of concept, run critical code reviews, validate technical designs, run system diagnostics and solve the complex problems.
• Guide engineering teams through implementation and keep the delivered solution true to the architectural intent and business requirements.
• Own technical risk across the solution lifecycle: set mitigation and contingency plans and drive critical issues to resolution.
• Partner with Project Managers and delivery leadership to balance technical feasibility, delivery commitments, scope and commercial considerations.
• Hold the bar on technical quality: performance, scalability, security, reliability, accessibility, maintainability and production readiness.
• Spot opportunities for AI‑enabled product capabilities and AI‑assisted engineering, and guide their implementation with appropriate human oversight, security, privacy and governance.
• Lead technical solutioning for presales: discovery, architecture proposals, feasibility, estimation inputs, risk assessment and client presentations.
• Build trusted relationships with client CTOs, technology leaders, engineering leaders and product stakeholders, and surface modernization opportunities that support account growth.
• Lead and mentor distributed engineering teams and technical practitioners, keeping client expectations and delivery execution aligned.

What you’ll bring

• Strong expertise in solution architecture, enterprise application design, distributed systems, microservices, APIs and integration patterns.
• Hands‑on proficiency in full stack technology, and the ability to validate designs through code, prototypes and technical reviews.
• Solid experience with cloud‑native architectures, AWS or Azure, containers, Kubernetes and infrastructure automation.
• An understanding of relational and NoSQL databases, event‑driven architectures, security, performance, reliability and observability.
• Practical experience bringing generative AI or AI‑assisted engineering tools into solution or delivery workflows.
• Strong consulting, presales, presentation, negotiation and executive communication skills.
• A track record of leading distributed teams, handling ambiguity and turning complex technology decisions into business outcomes.

Experience and qualifications

• Typically 10–15 years of relevant technology experience, with significant solution architecture and technical delivery experience.
• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in computer science, Engineering, IT or a related discipline.
• Relevant cloud architecture or enterprise architecture certifications are a plus.

How you work and communicate

• Advisor and builder: you can present the options to a client leader and then prove the hard parts in code.
• Owner: you care how the whole solution performs in production, not just whether the proposal won.
• Calm under pressure: you stay methodical during outages and client escalations.
• Commercially aware: you weigh scope, timelines and cost alongside technical feasibility.
• Bridge builder: you translate between clients, delivery leadership, project managers and engineers, in terms each of them can use.
• Clear communicator: you explain complex trade-offs in business terms, with confidence and diplomacy.
• Mentor: you guide Technical Architect and engineers, and you share context generously.
