Product Engineer with strong product sense and engineering skills for a leading IT services company. Taking ambiguous goals and delivering software solutions with minimal guidance.
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.
