## Description

As a Senior Solutions Architect, you will lead the design, validation, and development of modern enterprise data management solutions across the Hitachi portfolio. You will define reference architectures, validate technical patterns, and provide customer-facing guidance for data lakehouse platforms, object storage, open table formats, governance frameworks, and AI-ready data foundations. Working across engineering, product, and customer teams, you will translate business requirements into scalable, governed, and compliant architectures. This role requires a hands-on architect who can evaluate new technologies, support proofs of concept, develop technical collateral, and engage directly with customers and executive stakeholders.
