Solutions Architect

About the role

We are looking for a Solutions Architect with deep expertise in AI, cloud, and backend software development to join Kopius' Solutions Team and help lead cutting-edge initiatives across a diverse, fast-moving portfolio of client engagements and internal innovation projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate across multiple teams, projects, and clients simultaneously — moving fluidly between strategy, architecture, hands-on delivery, and pre-sales conversations
• Work closely with sales, pre-sales, and delivery teams to solicit feedback on customer trends and industry needs, and propose innovation ideas for solution offerings
• Serve as the technical lead for researching and building solutions focused on AI, cloud, and backend services — responsible for overall architecture and technical guidance
• Balance hands-on technical contributions to client projects with strategic solution development and sales support, ensuring both execution excellence and innovation
• Partner with the Solutions and Sales teams to identify opportunities, recommend viable technical approaches, and prototype solutions
• Represent technical expertise in pre-sales engagements, articulating complex solutions to prospective clients
• Create detailed technical documentation including architecture diagrams, data flows, implementation guides, and as-built project documentation
• Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend adoption strategies that deliver competitive advantages
• Conduct architecture review sessions and provide technical guidance to development teams, including peer collaboration, mentorship, and fostering knowledge sharing and continuous learning within Kopius
• Build strong relationships with clients and technology partners throughout the project lifecycle
• Serve as the technical escalation point for complex issues requiring architectural expertise

Qualifications

• Strong development background with proven experience in full-stack software development
• Deep, hands-on backend development expertise with Python and Node.js — primary languages for the role
• Experience designing and building scalable backend services, microservices, and distributed architectures
• Strong foundation in API design, development, and best practices (REST, GraphQL, gRPC)
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure cloud services, ideally alongside AWS
• Familiarity with relational and NoSQL databases and their integration into modern applications
• Hands-on experience with AI/ML solutions — LLMs, prompting, agents, RAG patterns, or applied ML
• Familiarity with at least one data/ETL technology (Snowflake, Databricks, Azure Data Factory, AWS Glue, or similar) — sufficient to integrate data flows into solutions, not as a primary specialization
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with a proven ability to address complex challenges in software development
• Experience supporting sales, pre-sales, and delivery to scope development projects or provide ROM (rough order of magnitude) estimates in sales pursuits
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience)
