Solution Architect

As Solution Architect, you are a senior technical voice in customer conversations — a sparring partner to enterprise architects at large financial institutions, helping them design how Taktile fits into their broader solution architecture.

What you'll do

• Act as the trusted architecture counterpart for enterprise architects and technical leadership on the customer side — from first pre-sales conversations through large-scale production deployments.
• Design the target solution architecture for enterprise transformations: how Taktile integrates into the customer's existing landscape of core systems, data platforms, and surrounding services.
• Own the hardest architecture questions in deals — integration patterns, deployment models, throughput, latency, security, compliance, data residency — and turn them from blockers into reasons to buy.
• Lead architecture workshops, whiteboarding sessions, and reference architecture reviews with customer stakeholders from engineers up to CTOs.
• Build reusable reference architectures, integration blueprints, and best practices that scale across the Forward Deployed Engineering and Sales teams.
• Work across pre-sales and post-sales: supporting Account Executives and Solution Engineers on complex enterprise deals, and partnering with Forward Deployed Engineers to ensure what was sold is what gets built.

What you'll need

• 10+ years of experience in solution or enterprise architecture, with significant time spent working directly with large enterprises — ideally in financial services.
• Deep, hands-on knowledge of AWS and enterprise integration patterns (event-driven architectures, messaging, APIs, batch, streaming).
• Experience with enterprise-grade legacy systems — core banking platforms, loan origination systems (LOSs), loan management systems (LMS), front-end SDKs, mainframes, on-prem estates.
• Solid grounding in security and compliance as they apply to regulated enterprises: authentication and authorization patterns, network architecture, encryption, data residency, and audit requirements.
• Ability to hold your own with the most senior technical stakeholders on the customer side — enterprise architects, Heads of Engineering, CTOs.
• Strong communication skills across pre-sales and post-sales environments, with both deeply technical and executive audiences.

Nice to have

• Experience as a Solution Architect, Enterprise Architect, or Principal Consultant at a B2B SaaS company, cloud provider, or top-tier consultancy serving financial institutions.
• Experience designing architectures involving AI/ML or Generative AI workloads in production.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect Professional, TOGAF).
• Experience responding to enterprise RFPs and security/architecture reviews.

What they offer

• Top-of-market equity and cash compensation package.
• Self-development budget for conferences, books, and classes.
• Equipment of your choice including meaningful home office set-up.
• Flat hierarchy with direct communication to founding team members.
• Mentorship from experienced leaders and access to network of tech investors and advisors.
