Overview
We are looking for an experienced Presales Solution Architect to help customers solve their business and technical challenges through the right technology solutions. You will work closely with Sales and customers to understand their needs, design end-to-end cloud solutions, prepare technical proposals, and present solutions to both technical and business stakeholders.
The ideal candidate has strong cloud and solution architecture knowledge, excellent communication and presentation skills, and a consultative mindset. You should be able to translate customer requirements into practical, scalable, secure, and cost-effective solutions while supporting Sales throughout the presales process.
Key Responsibilities
Customer Discovery & Consulting
- Engage with customers to understand their business objectives, challenges, current technology landscape, and priorities.
- Conduct discovery sessions and technical workshops with both business and technical stakeholders.
- Identify functional and non-functional requirements, technical constraints, security considerations, and scalability needs.
- Challenge assumptions and recommend solutions based on business value rather than simply following requested technologies.
- Translate customer requirements into practical and achievable technology solutions.
Solution Architecture & Design
- Design end-to-end cloud and digital solutions covering infrastructure, applications, integration, security, networking, data, and operations.
- Develop cloud architectures primarily using AWS, with exposure to Microsoft Azure being an advantage.
- Design modern application architectures using concepts such as microservices, APIs, containers, serverless, event-driven architecture, messaging, caching, and modern database technologies.
- Define architecture principles, technology choices, integration approaches, deployment models, and non-functional requirements.
- Ensure proposed solutions are scalable, highly available, secure, resilient, and cost-effective.
- Consider migration, disaster recovery, observability, backup, and operational requirements when designing solutions.
- Apply Infrastructure as Code and automation principles where appropriate.
Presales & Bid Support
- Work closely with Sales to qualify opportunities and shape technical solutions.
- Prepare technical proposals, solution architectures, presentations, diagrams, statements of work, and other presales deliverables.
- Support RFPs, RFIs, tenders, workshops, technical demonstrations, and customer presentations.
- Respond to technical requirements and develop solution proposals within tight deadlines.
