Backbase is expanding. There is no doubt that we have the best possible solution in our niche market. But if you think that winning over clients comes by itself, think again. It’s a tough process.
As a Solution Architect it is your core responsibility, together with your team, to support the technical evaluation process and to deliver remarkable results on a continuous basis. Your job is to take away all possible concerns that may exist with the prospect.
Whether you talk to the board of directors, the marketing team or the IT department; you turn every red light green. You like, no… You love to travel. We work on a global scale and our team operates without regions. So if you don’t already have a frequent flyer status, you will do so within a year.
What will you be doing?
As a Solution Architect you will work directly with customers, field sales, delivery and product development teams to help ensure the successful incubation, adoption and enablement of our customers.
Earning the right as a trusted advisor requires a unique blend of being polished with customers, being technically savvy, incorporating out of the box thinking, and having the ability to drive and engage multiple stakeholders to translate and communicate business requirements into a solution vision that meets the customer's business needs.
The Solution Architect must be a highly organized, thorough and motivated professional that understands the importance of being a strong team player and leader when it comes to forging a solution and liaising with customers. The role will include being a key field partner for engineering teams, working closely with customers, as well as assisting initial sales and delivery to customers who require advanced architecture designs and services. Your knowledge and experiences will also be leveraged as a part of continuous feedback loop to drive architectural best practices and tooling required to increase adoption, retention and overall customer experience.
A successful candidate will wear many hats, and your work will have a real impact on the success of Backbase customers and their business. You’ll be part of an agile and bright team that embraces open communication, empowerment, innovation, teamwork and a shared focus on customer success.
