We’re a small, high-performing consulting team looking for a hands‑on Sr. Solutions Architect / Tech Lead who still enjoys building.

Position Title:

Sr. Solutions Architect / Tech Lead (Hands‑On)

Location:

On‑site (Columbus, OH)

We are a growing IT consulting firm focused on delivering high-impact solutions for existing Microsoft customers. With deep specialization across the Microsoft ecosystem and advanced certifications, we are expanding our capabilities as we move toward formal Microsoft partnership status.

We are a tight-knit, high-performing team of 10 based in the USA, with a subsidiary in India that allows us to operate through a thoughtful hybrid global delivery model. Our team values ownership, curiosity, and people who lead by doing, not just directing. We care deeply about how we work together and hold ourselves to four core values: being attentive, intentional, precise, and collaborative.

We are a team that takes ownership individually while supporting each other when it matters.

We are looking for a hands‑on Sr. Solutions Architect / Tech Lead who can operate as both a technical leader and a builder. This is a player‑coach role where you will mentor the team, shape solutions, and actively contribute to implementation.

You will work closely with clients and our team to lead technical conversations and help translate business needs into scalable, well‑architected solutions. This role also includes supporting new and potential projects through scoping, solutioning, and estimation, with support from the team as needed while you take ownership of driving this forward.

This role sits between architecture and execution. You should be just as comfortable designing systems as you are getting into the code. This is a role for someone who is comfortable taking initiative and moving things forward independently, while staying closely connected to a team that collaborates and supports each other.
