As a Solutions Architect, you will play a pivotal role within Brightflag's Professional Services team, acting as the technical and functional owner of integrations between Brightflag and customer systems. You will lead customer-facing discovery, translate business and technical requirements into clear integration designs, and partner closely with implementation and engineering teams to deliver reliable, scalable API-based integrations.
In this role, you will design and document integration architectures-primarily with Accounts Payable and related financial systems-including data mappings, API interactions, validation rules, and test plans. You will guide each integration from design through testing and deployment, ensuring requirements are well-defined, risks are surfaced early, and outcomes meet both customer and platform standards.
Beyond individual projects, you will help define and continuously improve how Brightflag approaches integration work. This includes driving standardization, improving documentation and design practices, and identifying opportunities to increase efficiency and quality through automation and AI-assisted tooling. Success in this role requires strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, the ability to explain complex technical concepts in clear business terms, and a mindset focused on building better systems and processes-not just executing today's playbook, but helping shape the next one. What You Will Be Doing
- Engage directly with customers to lead discovery sessions, clarify integration requirements, and communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Architect and document scalable integration solutions connecting Brightflag to external systems (Accounts Payable, Document Management, Matter Management, and more).
- Translate business requirements into technical specifications, including data mappings, API definitions, authentication requirements, and workflow design.
- Partner with developers and product teams to ensure integrations are built using best practices and aligned to overall solution architecture.
- Drive project management for integration workstreams: maintaining timelines, coordinating stakeholders, facilitating testing cycles, and ensuring high-quality delivery.
- Support and guide customers through testing by preparing data sets, creating test plans, and validating integration functionality, performance, and reliability.
- Troubleshoot issues to quickly identify root causes and determine whether to resolve directly or escalate to engineering.
- Define, refine, and optimize Brightflag's integration methodologies-including process documentation, templates, QA standards, and repeatable implementation patterns.
- Identify opportunities to streamline integration work using automation, AI tools, standardized components, and improved workflows.
- Develop lightweight scripts or transformations when needed to support integration scenarios (nice-to-have, not the core focus)., Apache Camel APIs Dell Boomi Java JSON Mulesoft Postman Python Restful Soap Soapui Swagger XML, As a Pre-Sales Solutions Architect, you'll partner with sales to develop strategies, educate customers, and create integration solutions while driving revenue and collaborating with cross-functional teams.
