Solutions Architect

About VRIZE

VRIZE is a digital engineering and technology services company partnering with enterprise clients to deliver scalable, modern solutions across cloud, data, and platform transformation. We work at the intersection of business and technology, combining hands-on execution with strong technical leadership to solve complex challenges and drive real outcomes.

About the Role

VRIZE is seeking a hands-on Solutions Architect to serve as an internal technology leader and primary technical face to clients. You will lead client engagements from the front—building trusted relationships with stakeholders while partnering closely with offshore delivery teams to ensure technical excellence and successful outcomes.

This is not a design-only role. You will remain hands-on with development, contribute to architecture and implementation, and step into complex or at-risk engagements to stabilize delivery and restore client confidence when needed.

Work Model

• Remote (U.S. – Central or Eastern Time preferred)
• Frequent travel to client locations required

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement scalable, secure architectures on AWS and/or Azure
• Build and prototype applications alongside delivery teams (backend and full-stack as needed)
• Lead technical solutioning for client engagements, translating business requirements into architecture decisions
• Define and enforce cloud and engineering standards (IaC, CI/CD, networking, security)
• Conduct architecture reviews, guide engineering teams, and unblock technical challenges
• Contribute to pre-sales efforts including solution discussions, estimations, and client presentations
• Act as the primary client-facing technical leader, representing VRIZE with credibility and confidence
• Bridge client teams and offshore delivery teams, ensuring alignment across requirements, execution, and expectations
• Step into at-risk or recovering projects to assess gaps, stabilize delivery, and rebuild client trust
• Own technical relationships with client stakeholders, proactively managing expectations, risks, and escalations
• Travel to client sites as needed for working sessions and key project phases

What You Bring

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a Solutions Architect or Technical Lead role
• Strong hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS and/or Azure)
• Backend development expertise in Java (Spring Boot) and/or .NET or Python
• Experience designing microservices, event-driven architectures, and API-first systems
• Solid understanding of DevOps practices (containerization, IaC, CI/CD pipelines)
• Strong communication skills—comfortable presenting to both technical and executive audiences
• Experience working in onshore-offshore delivery models, acting as a bridge between distributed teams
• Proven ability to manage client relationships, including stakeholder alignment and escalation handling
• Experience supporting project recovery or stabilizing at-risk engagements
• AWS or Azure architecture certification preferred (with active hands-on application)

Why VRIZE

You’ll play a critical role at the intersection of technology, delivery, and client engagement—working directly with enterprise clients, influencing architecture decisions, and driving real outcomes while staying hands-on.
