Principal Architect

We’re looking for a Principal Architect to lead solution architecture across pre-sales, business development, and technical strategy. You’ll partner with Sales, Product, and Engineering to design scalable, secure, and commercially viable cloud solutions that win business and align with long-term platform strategy.

This is a senior, customer-facing role focused on solution definition, proposals, and architectural governance rather than day-to-day delivery. You’ll act as a trusted technical advisor to both customers and internal leadership.

• Lead technical discovery, solution design, and architectural input for bids, RFPs, and proposals
• Translate business problems into clear, compelling solution architectures
• Define and govern architectural standards aligned with security, compliance (SOC 2, PCI-DSS), and cloud cost controls
• Design scalable, data-intensive cloud architectures
• Present and defend technical solutions to senior customer stakeholders
• Mentor architects and senior engineers and influence technical direction

• 5+ years as a Lead or Principal Architect on complex, cloud-based SaaS platforms
• Strong experience with SOC 2 / PCI-DSS governed systems
• Deep background in data-centric architectures and transactional systems
• Pre-sales or customer-facing technical experience highly desirable
• Strong communicator, comfortable in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
