Your impact We are seeking an experienced Senior Solution Architect to join our team building next- generation Digital Twin solutions for Data Center owners and operators. Supporting end- to-end project lifecycle use cases such as concept planning, design, and operations, the Digital Twin platform supports large-scale telemetry ingestion, storage, processing, and visualization to drive higher reliability, smarter capital planning, and more resilient facility performance. You will play a critical role in defining the architectural vision, guiding engineering teams, and ensuring scalable, secure, and high-performance system design. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring both strategic thinking and deep technical expertise across cloud, Architecture & Technical Leadership * Define and own the end-to-end solution architecture for a cloud-native Digital Twin * SaaS platform. * Establish design patterns for scalable, fault-tolerant, multi-tenant systems. * Establish canonical integration patterns across telemetry systems, simulation * engines, BIM environments, and operational platforms. * Lead architectural decisions across data ingestion, streaming, storage, processing, * and API layers. * Ensure alignment between product vision, engineering execution, and platform * capabilities. * Operate effectively in evolving technical environments where requirements, vendor * capabilities, and architectural boundaries are still emerging. * Identify architectural bottlenecks, operational constraints, and integration risks * early, and drive pragmatic designs that remain viable under real-world delivery, * licensing, compliance, and infrastructure limitations. Data & Platform Engineering * Design systems to handle high-volume telemetry data ingestion (IoT, sensors, * operational data streams). * Architect solutions for: + Real-time and batch data processing pipelines. + Time-series and analytical data storage. + High-performance data access and visualization layers. * Guide implementation of data governance, security, and compliance frameworks. Digital Twin & Domain Modeling * Define architectural approaches for representing physical assets and systems as * Digital Twins. * Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to model Data Center systems, * assets, and operational workflows. * Support long-term extensibility into planning, simulation, and design-phase * capabilities. * Define integration patterns across simulation, BIM, and 3D visualization * ecosystems, including platforms such as NVIDIA Omniverse, Autodesk Forma, and * USD-based workflows. Cross-Functional Collaboration * Partner with Product Management, Engineering, and UX/UI to translate business * requirements into technical solutions. * Mentor and guide engineering teams through architecture reviews and critical * design decisions. * Work with customers and stakeholders to understand integration and scalability * requirements. * Collaborate closely with simulation SMEs, platform engineers, and Product * leadership to iteratively refine architecture through technical discovery and * prototyping. Technology Strategy & Innovation * Evaluate and recommend technologies across cloud (Azure/AWS/GCP), data * platforms, and analytics tools. * Stay current with trends in Digital Twins, IoT platforms, and industrial SaaS * solutions. * Drive innovation in areas such as real-time analytics, simulation, and AI/ML * integration. * Assess trade-offs across platform capabilities, operational constraints, licensing * models, compliance requirements, and long-term maintainability when defining * architectural direction. ## Related Videos - [API Design - Getting Started](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/33-api-design-getting-started) - [Empowering Retail Through Applied Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/976-empowering-retail-through-applied-machine-learning) - [AI in Regulated Industry - Validating AI-Enabled Products with PLM and Digital Twins](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2065-ai-in-regulated-industry-validating-ai-enabled-products-with-plm-and-digital-twins) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [How to develop an autonomous car end-to-end: Robotic Drive and the mobility revolution](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/22-how-to-develop-an-autonomous-car-end-to-end-robotic-drive-and-the-mobility-revolution) - [Rest API Antipatterns](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100208-rest-api-antipatterns) ## Related Articles - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026) - [Top Must-Visit Developer Conferences in the US in 2026](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/679-top-must-visit-developer-conferences-in-the-us-in-2026)
