About the role

  • Solutions Architect at Lateral connecting business ambition with technology needed for delivery. Leading technical direction and client collaboration in a remote-first environment.

Responsibilities

  • Lead solution definition for key initiatives: architecture, technical approach, integration strategy, cloud alignment, and delivery feasibility.
  • Work directly with client executives and product leaders to translate business needs into scalable, modern architectures across AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to turn architectural direction into actionable plans, balancing quality, velocity, and pragmatic tradeoffs.
  • Conduct architecture assessments, review existing systems, and define modernization, migration, or greenfield approaches.
  • Develop solution proposals, SOWs, estimates, and architectural documentation for pre-sales and delivery.
  • Represent Lateral in early conversations with hyperscalers.
  • Support delivery teams through ongoing architectural decisions, technical guidance, and risk identification.
  • Champion clarity and quality: ensuring our solutions are maintainable, well-structured, secure, and aligned with long-term business value.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in technical leadership roles such as Solutions Architect, Senior Architect, Principal Consultant, or similar.
  • A background in consulting or services environments
  • Deep expertise in designing systems on AWS, Azure, or GCP architecture patterns, compute, storage, API design, integration strategies, observability, and deployment models.
  • Strong ability to lead discovery conversations, clarify requirements, and translate business needs into technical direction.
  • Experience shaping architecture for complex systems, SaaS products, integrations, distributed systems, and modern cloud applications.
  • Excellent communication skills: you can explain tradeoffs, options, and decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong consultancy instincts: pre-sales exposure, client advisory work, and solution packaging are second nature to you.
  • A preference for modern software engineering (cloud-native, serverless, event-driven, container-based, or hybrid approaches).
  • Comfort working in ambiguity, shaping clarity, and bringing structure to complex technical and business problems.

Benefits

  • Remote-First, Office Friendly: Work from wherever you’re most productive
  • An Outstanding Team: Talented, kind, and hard-working people who care deeply about their craft - and about each other.
  • Growth: You’ll be supported in growing your craft, exploring new paths, and stepping into greater responsibility - at your own pace
  • A Culture of Excellence: We care deeply about doing the right thing - for our clients, our team, and ourselves.
  • Variety & Stability: We’re profitable, independent, and over a decade strong. Yet every project brings a fresh challenge.
