Senior Solutions Architect

Our Professional Services team is looking for a Senior Solutions Architect (Technical) to lead high-visibility, high-complexity technical implementations for our customers. 

As a Senior Solutions Architect, you will leverage your in-depth experience in system architecture, API integrations, and enterprise data ecosystems to design and deliver scalable, high-performance technical solutions. You will be responsible for driving expert-level impact in technical architecture, integration patterns, and platform strategy for Unanet’s existing and future customers alike. 

What You’ll Do 

• Provide technical expertise in the pre-sales process by offering architectural guidance, assessing integration feasibility, and identifying solution approaches across multiple product lines and third-party systems. 
• Learn and analyze customers’ technical architecture, system landscape, and integration requirements, serving as a subject matter expert in designing scalable, high-performance technical solutions, including APIs, data integrations, and middleware platforms.
• Translate business and technical requirements into technical architecture specifications, integration patterns, API designs, and implementation standards.
• Provide technical oversight and execution from discovery through architecture design, ensuring large-scale implementations are built on sound technical foundations.
• Offer ongoing technical support and guidance during deployment phases, including integration testing, performance optimization, and production cutover.
• Analyze and manage complex technical escalations related to integrations, performance, data synchronization, and system architecture, coordinating the right internal resources to resolve issues and protect customer relationships.
• Design and implement custom integrations, APIs, data pipelines, and technical solutions to meet specific customer needs.
• Analyze and drive opportunities to expand technical capabilities, accelerate integration adoption, and leverage Unanet’s platform extensibility.
• Participate in technical planning and proactively manage executive-level customer, partner, and stakeholder relationships on architecture and integration strategy.
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to other members of the implementation team on architecture patterns, integration best practices, and technical problem-solving.
• Build and maintain common libraries, patterns, and reusable designs that can be leveraged across multiple projects and technical resources, increasing consistency and delivery speed.
