You will be deployed where technical risk is highest: flagship accounts, first-of-a-kind architectures, and the engagements whose outcome sets the pattern everyone else follows. Between those engagements, you will convert what you learned into the reference architectures, service offerings, and enablement that raise the capability of every architect and consultant in the field. Your impact is measured by the quality of the practice you leave behind, not the hours you personally bill.We are looking for depth in public cloud architecture first. Deep the company product expertise is expected to be built on the job. If you have architected large-scale data, storage, or security platforms across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and you can learn a new platform quickly and completely, we want to talk.

• Lead briefings and multi-day design workshops on site and remotely

Scale yourself through the practice

• Build the intellectual property that multiplies your reach, reference architectures, deployment automation, design templates, decision trees, and delivery accelerators

• Mentor and technically develop Solutions Architects and senior consultants across all theatres; raise the ceiling of the practice, not just your own output

• Define technical competency standards and enablement for cloud within Professional Services, and help set the hiring bar through technical interviews

• Represent the company Professional Services externally at conferences, customer advisory boards, and in published technical material

Influence the product
