We are seeking a Solution Architect who acts as the primary connective tissue between business vision and operational reality. In this role, you are a Strategic Orchestrator
While our Technical Architects focus on how a specific system is built, you focus on how the business wins through the seamless flow of data across our entire ecosystem. You sit at the center of a cross-functional hub, aligning the work of Business Analysts, Product Managers, Technical Architects, and Project Managers to ensure every technical solution delivers measurable business value—from the first line of code to year two of production.

Cross-Functional Orchestration
Your value is measured by the integrity of the "End-to-End" solution. You take the "What" from Product and BAs and define the "How" across the web and back-office.
Post-Deployment Support
A solution isn't successful if it can't be supported. You are responsible for ensuring that cross-functional support is baked into the architecture, not an afterthought.
