You'll collaborate on end-to-end technical decisions, from selecting frameworks to designing integrations between BigQuery data pipelines, Salesforce, and enterprise authentication systems. Working in Python, AWS Lambda, Next.js/React, and Terraform, you'll architect high-performance solutions while mentoring team members and contributing innovative ideas for future capabilities. Your technical decisions directly influence how hundreds of commercial and customer-facing professionals across global business units identify prospects, prioritize opportunities, retain accounts, and deliver differentiated customer experiences. A key part of the role is evaluating and integrating emerging AI capabilities - including LLM-powered features, AI agent frameworks, and MCP servers - to accelerate both internal tooling and customer touchpoints. You'll join an existing Senior Solutions Architect and share technical ownership of the platform, dividing focus across features and initiatives. You'll work with Analytics Engineers in your team who build the data pipelines powering your applications, sales teams across business units who provide direct feedback, product and commercial teams who understand customer needs as well as data engineers and IT teams who help scale solutions. This cross-functional exposure gives you unique perspective on both technology and business context. You'll help scale successful, well-loved tools from MVP stage to enterprise-grade platforms serving new markets, working in a small, collaborative team with startup pace but enterprise resources and mandate. The day-to-day You'll architect new applications and features across the full stack, from designing API endpoints and service architectures to implementing frontend interfaces. Daily work involves reviewing technical designs with Analytics Engineers, making architectural decisions on system integrations, and writing code in Python and TypeScript to implement solutions from infrastructure through user interface. A typical day includes conducting proof-of-concepts for new tools and technologies, evaluating their fit for the platform architecture, and presenting technical recommendations to the team. This increasingly includes AI-powered capabilities: evaluating LLM APIs (such as Anthropic Claude or OpenAI), building MCP servers to expose internal data to AI agents, and prototyping agentic workflows that automate repetitive commercial processes. You'll investigate and resolve production bugs, optimize web portal performance and rendering efficiency, debug Lambda functions, and refactor components to improve reliability and maintainability. You'll design efficient data movement patterns in the cloud to handle high-volume datasets and ensure applications remain responsive under load. You'll collaborate with the Product Lead to define technical requirements for new features, propose implementation approaches, and estimate development effort. This includes designing integration patterns between systems, implementing authentication and authorization systems for enterprise portals, specifying API contracts, and selecting scalable technologies that can grow with the platform. You'll also spend time on infrastructure work: deploying services via Terraform, configuring CI/CD pipelines, architecting document generation systems, and ensuring applications meet performance and security requirements for enterprise deployment.
