Solutions Architect

Role Overview

We are looking for a Solutions Architect who excels at hands-on technical work, customer interaction, and real-world problem solving. FDEs at Evolver own the technical relationship from the PoCs: demonstrating ARIA capabilities against a customer's curated use cases, then carrying that same technical relationship through implementation, go-live and expansion. in their environment.

You will also sit with process owners and security teams to translate a live business function into ARIA: what ships as-is, what needs configuration, what needs an integration, and what's a real product gap to escalate instead of hacking together in field.

You work closely with a Strategic Engagement Lead and the Product team. You facilitate the integrations and, where needed, build custom connectors and scripts that land the account; lasting capability is written up for the Platform, not maintained as a private fork.

Key Responsibilities

Customer-Facing Engineering

• Work directly with enterprise customers to deploy and configure ARIA in their production environments.
• Serve as the hands-on technical expert from pre-sales PoC through discovery, onboarding, integration, value realization, and expansion.
• Break business requirements into ARIA capabilities and explicit non-goals that Product can execute.
• Design and run PoCs that demonstrate ARIA capabilities against curated, customer-specific use cases.
• Showcase ARIA at board, control-owner, and engineer altitude without changing the facts.
• Troubleshoot issues in real time, owning them through resolution and escalating to Platform Engineering with a diagnosis.

Integration & Implementation

• Facilitate integrations between ARIA and customer systems of record, APIs, warehouses, document corpora, authentication frameworks, and enterprise workflows.
• Build custom scripts, connectors, or mappings in Python where needed to land a PoC or an account - then retire or productize them rather than running a shadow codebase.
• Design and land deployments (identity, network, data residency, entitlements).
• Map structured and unstructured sources into a governed solution, and know when a generative path is the wrong tool.

Product & Platform Contribution

• Gather customer feedback and turn real-world use cases into product insights - not a private feature branch.
• Collaborate with Platform Engineering to reproduce issues, validate fixes, and enhance stability.
• Contribute improvements to deployment tooling, automation, and documentation.
• Tell the truth in pre-sales and scoping about what is shipped versus what is still a prototype (on the roadmap).

Operational Ownership

• Develop playbooks, checklists, migration guides, and integration best practices.
• Help establish repeatable, scalable processes for future deployments as we grow.
• Partner with Strategic Engagement Leads and assist on technical scoping, feasibility, and success criteria.
• Leave architecture artifacts (solution brief, data map, environment diagram) that another FDE or a Platform Engineer can pick up cold.

Experience

• 6+ years in software engineering, solutions architecture, implementation engineering, or forward-deployed roles.
• Experience working directly with enterprise customers in technical engagements - including at least one production go-live.
• Hands-on experience deploying or integrating systems on a major cloud provider (Azure, AWS and GCP).
• Strong Python experience in production contexts; SQL and comfort reading TypeScript / Platform code are a plus.
• Fluency across data systems (APIs, warehouses, ERPs or other systems of record, unstructured corpora).
• Working literacy in modern AI systems: grounding, tools or agents, evaluation, failure modes, and auditability.
• Experience in a regulated or high-control environment (security review, entitlements, change windows).
• Depth in at least one of Finance, Tax, Risk, Internal Audit, or GRC is a strong plus - enough to be taken seriously by a process owner.
• Experience working in fast-paced startup or high-growth environments is a plus.

Education

• Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

Technical Skills

• Familiarity with Azure services; additional cloud or private-network deployment experience is welcome.
• Experience integrating software with enterprise systems, APIs, identity providers, and both structured and unstructured data.
• Solid understanding of cloud deployment models, security constraints, identity, and operational best practices.
• Ability to write a solution architecture that other teams can execute.
• Strong proficiency in Python.
• Strong debugging skills, including logs, traces, and distributed troubleshooting.

Soft Skills

• Excellent communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders, including security and function owners.
• Analytical mindset with a strong focus on problem-solving and scope discipline.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic startup culture.
• Customer-obsessed mindset with a strong sense of ownership.
• Highly collaborative, resourceful, and comfortable navigating ambiguity.
• Judgment to disappoint a stakeholder rather than promise a product we will not ship.

Benefits

• Competitive Compensation: Tailored to your experience and skill set.
• Career Growth: Opportunities for professional development and leadership roles.
• Innovative Culture: Work at the frontier where real customer problems meet cutting-edge technology.
• Impact & Ownership: Join early and help shape how we deploy ARIA to enterprise customers.
