Technical Solutions Lead
Client Services & Platform
SUMMARY
A technically sharp and commercially curious Solution Architect with a strong foundation in enterprise technology design, AI integration, and hands-on software delivery. Comfortable bridging the gap between business needs and technical execution — designing practical, scalable solutions while staying close to the code.
Brings experience across consulting, rapid prototyping, and multi-system architecture, with a genuine enthusiasm for the opportunities that generative AI and modern engineering practices unlock for clients and teams.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Solution Architecture & Technical Design

Design and document end-to-end solution architectures aligned to business requirements, security, and scalability.

Contribute to reference architectures and architectural patterns across project engagements.

Evaluate and recommend technology stacks — including AI platforms and development tooling — with clear rationale.

Support architecture reviews and ensure solutions align with enterprise standards and governance requirements.

Engineering Delivery

Work closely with engineering teams to translate architecture into working, production-quality systems.

Apply modern engineering practices: clean code, CI/CD pipelines, testing strategies, and observability.

Participate in code and design reviews, sharing architectural context and raising quality across the team.

Comfortable getting hands-on — contributing code and debugging when it matters most.

Rapid Prototyping & AI Innovation

Lead proof-of-concept builds to de-risk architecture decisions and validate solution approaches quickly.

Use AI-assisted development tools (coding copilots, LLM APIs, agent frameworks) to accelerate delivery and exploration.

Translate prototype learnings into well-structured, production-ready architectures and delivery plans.

Stay current with the fast-moving generative AI landscape and bring relevant ideas to client engagements.

Consulting & Stakeholder Engagement

Engage directly with business and technical stakeholders to understand requirements and shape practical solutions.

Support workshops, solution design sessions, and technical discovery activities.

Communicate architectural thinking clearly — adapting the level of detail for different audiences.

Contribute to proposals, assessments, and solutioning work as part of client engagements.

TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES
Architecture & Design

Enterprise Solution Architecture, Microservices, Event-Driven and API-first design

WHAT SETS THIS ROLE APART

You'll work at the intersection of architecture, AI, and consulting — not siloed in one discipline.

Real exposure to generative AI in enterprise settings — not just theory, but hands-on delivery.

Mentorship and growth from senior technology and business leadership while owning meaningful pieces of complex client solutions.

A culture that values engineering quality, intellectual curiosity, and getting things built.
