We are looking for a Solution Architect who can translate customer pain points into AI agents, workflows, and scalable solution designs. This is a customer-facing role at the intersection of solution architecture, solution engineering, AI design, and software project management.

You will partner with customers and cross-functional internal teams to understand business problems, shape technical solutions, guide proofs of concept, support implementation, and drive measurable outcomes. The ideal candidate is equally strong in consultative discovery, technical architecture, stakeholder communication, and delivery execution.

• Translate customer pain points into AI agents, workflows, and decision-support experiences that solve real business problems.
• Design end-to-end solution architectures covering data sources, integrations, APIs, orchestration, retrieval, guardrails, human-in-the-loop workflows, and deployment approach.
• Build or guide technical prototypes, proofs of concept, and pilot solutions that validate business value quickly.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and Delivery teams to move solutions from discovery to implementation and adoption.
• Own technical scoping and solution planning, including requirements, assumptions, dependencies, risks, timelines, and stakeholder alignment.
• Act as a trusted advisor to customers, explaining technical tradeoffs clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Drive measurable business outcomes such as faster time to resolution, improved first-time fix, increased remote resolution, stronger adoption, and better customer experience.

• Strong background in customer-facing work, including discovery workshops, executive communication, technical presentations, and stakeholder management.
• Strong technical foundation in databases, SQL, and scripting (e.g., Python), with the ability to understand code and system behavior and collaborate effectively with engineering teams on AI/GenAI solutions.
• Experience owning or heavily influencing software project management, including scope, delivery planning, risk management, cross-functional coordination, and implementation governance.
• Strong understanding of APIs, integration patterns, enterprise systems, and data flows.
• Solid technical foundation, including working knowledge of databases, SQL, and scripting (e.g., Python or similar). Comfortable understanding code, data structures, and system behavior, and able to engage meaningfully with engineering teams in the context of modern GenAI-driven solutions. Ability to balance strategic design with hands‑on problem‑solving and prototyping.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
