Solutions Architect f/m/d

What you will do

• Technical discovery and solution scoping. Lead discovery where a standard demo is not enough. Write clear scopes covering what Apaleo delivers natively, what needs a short-term solution and what is out of scope.
• Proofs of concept. Build fast, working proofs of concept (quick demos that show technical fit). Agree scope in writing first, and build in a safe test environment, never with live guest data.
• Agents and automations. Design and build agents and automations for customer use cases, using n8n or Make today and Apaleo's own AI agent platform as it launches. Write code where agents need deterministic steps.
• Hands-on delivery and short-term solutions. Work alongside the customer, building only where it unblocks a named deal, removes an adoption risk or fills a product gap. Agree an exit plan (an end date, a replacement and a named owner) before you start.
• Post-sale health checks and expansions. Diagnose gaps against the go-live specification, run proactive checks (for example 90 days after go-live) and scope integrations for expanding customers.
• Reusable assets. Turn every engagement into a reference architecture, pattern or template that the next twenty customers can use.
• Thought leadership. Join prospect and customer conversations on how AI will change hospitality over the next two to three years.
• Product feedback. Test new technology on real customer problems. Share prototypes and field evidence with Product, ending every experiment with a clear decision: adopt, hand over or drop.

How you work

• You decide the approach, the stack and the order of work.
• You protect three guardrails: written scope before a proof of concept, an exit plan before a custom build and no commercial promises.
• You go from idea to prototype in days and show it early.
• You think in systems and build for reuse, not one-off projects.
• You share findings openly with Sales, Account Management and Product.

Who you work with

Sales/BD and Account Management (they call you in at defined deal triggers), Customer Success, Product, Security, Partnerships, RevOps and Senior Leadership.

What you bring

• Hands-on workflow automation (n8n preferred) and practical experience building with LLM agents
• A systems thinker with real AI curiosity, who uses AI tools day to day
