As our Senior Solutions Architect, you will spearhead the go-to-market launch of our new AI-native software development platform.
This is a "zero-to-one" role where you will be one of the first faces of the product, bringing deep technical expertise to our initial design partners and translating their feedback into a roadmap for our product and engineering teams.
You will partner in a tight-knit GTM squad, ensuring our technical positioning is sharp and our proofs-of-value are undeniable.
By leading technical discovery and solution design, you'll turn early interest into production-grade adoption.
Your work will set the foundations; from demo environments to sales playbooks that the broader Customer Solutions and Sales teams will inherit as we scale.
Your deep fluency in modern, agentic engineering workflows and cloud architectures allows you to act as a credible peer to engineering leaders and senior developers.
You thrive in the ambiguity of an early-stage launch, balancing high-level strategy with the hands-on execution required to debug an integration or build a compelling technical narrative.
