Clarity where there was ambiguity
You will be our go-to person for defining high-level technical architectures across a wide variety of client engagements - from RPA and process automation, to custom software development, to AI/ML solutions, to security and infrastructure. The core of this role is RFP response and pre-sales support: you receive a brief or RFP, quickly understand the domain and constraints, and produce a credible, well-structured architecture proposal. You work fast, with limited context, and deliver clarity where there was ambiguity.
- Analyze RFPs, client briefs, and discovery outputs to produce high-level solution architectures under tight timelines.
- Design end-to-end architectures spanning cloud, AI, integrations, security, and automation.
- Lead or support technical discovery sessions, client workshops, and architecture reviews.
- Translate business requirements into system designs including integrations, data flows, APIs, security, and scalability.
- Create architecture documentation, solution diagrams, and technical sections for proposals.
- Provide architectural guidance during project delivery and support delivery teams in critical design decisions.
- Evaluate and recommend technologies, platforms, and approaches relevant to each engagement.
- Review existing architectures and recommend modernization strategies.
- 7+ years of experience in software engineering, solution architecture, or technical consulting.
- Broad technical range - able to architect solutions across enterprise software, cloud infrastructure, AI/ML, RPA, security, and data platforms.
- Strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Solid understanding of distributed systems, microservices, APIs, integration patterns, and modern application architectures.
- Experience with pre-sales, proposal writing, or RFP response processes.
- Understanding of security, governance, scalability, and reliability best practices.
- Experience in consulting or agency environments with multiple parallel client engagements.
