Solutions Architect, Professional Services

Reporting to the Sr. Director of Professional Services, the Solutions Architect is Semarchy's senior technical leader on customer engagements—partnering closely with Sales from the very beginning of the customer journey to shape technical strategy, scoping, and initial adoption, while serving as an ongoing technical ally as our clients scale.

Responsibilities

• Technical Advisory & Executive Engagement: Serve as the trusted technical partner for enterprise clients across their entire lifecycle. Articulate complex technical designs, trade-offs, and strategic data roadmaps to client architects, data leaders, and executive sponsors.
• Sales-Cycle Scoping & SOW Development: Partner with Sales at the earliest discovery stages to perform feasibility assessments, scope use cases, estimate effort/timelines, and author high-quality Statements of Work (SOWs). Recommend additional Semarchy product and service offerings aligned to the customer's technical trajectory.
• End-to-End Enterprise Architecture & Implementation: Lead the design, multi-domain data modeling, and hands-on deployment of enterprise MDM solutions. Own the architecture from configuration (match/merge logic, trust scores, API integrations, ETL/streaming pipelines) to deployment, data stewardship workflows, and production go-live.
• Modernization & Expert Services: Lead advanced platform diagnostics, health checks, and complex data migration strategies (legacy/on-prem to cloud/SaaS). Act as the senior escalation point for complex technical hurdles, collaborating directly with Product and Support teams. Provide technical direction to Solutions Engineers and Data Engineers during build and configuration phases.
• Practice Innovation: Contribute to Semarchy's reusable delivery assets, reference architectures, and pre-packaged service offerings. Actively leverage modern AI and generative AI tools to accelerate development workflows, optimize code, and streamline technical documentation.
