Job description
Key details
- 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, including how Taktile integrates into the customer's existing landscape of core systems, data platforms, and surrounding services, and how that architecture evolves over a multi-year journey
- 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
- Represent Taktile in senior architecture discussions on the customer side, giving their enterprise architects and technical leadership a credible, expert counterpart
- 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

Requirements & details
- 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), and knowing when to use which
- Experience with enterprise-grade legacy systems — core banking platforms, loan origination systems (LOSs), loan management systems (LMS), front-end SDKs, mainframes, on-prem estates — and what it takes to integrate a modern SaaS platform into them
- 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 — and be seen as a peer, not a vendor
- Ability to communicate complex architecture crisply, in writing, on a whiteboard, in a slide deck, and in the room, to both deeply technical and executive audiences
- Comfortable operating across pre-sales and post-sales, and making architecture decisions that are right for the customer and commercially sound
- Ideal but not required: experience as a Solution Architect, Enterprise Architect, or Principal Consultant at a B2B SaaS company, cloud provider, or top-tier consultancy serving financial institutions
- Ideal but not required: experience designing architectures involving AI/ML or Generative AI workloads in production
- Ideal but not required: relevant certifications (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect Professional, TOGAF)
- Ideal but not required: experience responding to enterprise RFPs and security/architecture reviews
