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.
