Taktile empowers financial institutions to transform into truly AI-native organizations. As we grow with enterprise customers across banks and insurance companies, their architecture questions get harder: How does Taktile fit into an existing, complex and some-times decades-old core banking system landscape? How do we design for their security, availability, compliance, and integration requirements? Who speaks the language of their enterprise architects?
That's this role. As Solution Architect, you are a senior technical voice in our customer conversations - a sparring partner to enterprise architects at large financial institutions, helping them design how Taktile fits into their broader solution architecture.
What You'll Do as Solution Architect
Act as the trusted architecture counterpart for enterprise architects and technical leadership on the customer side — from first pre-sales conversations through large-scale production deployments.
Design the target solution architecture for enterprise transformations: how Taktile integrates into the customer's existing landscape of core systems, data platforms, and surrounding services, and how that architecture evolves over a multi-year journey.
Own the hardest architecture questions in our deals — integration patterns, deployment models, throughput, latency, security, compliance, data residency — and turn them from blockers into reasons to buy.
Lead architecture workshops, whiteboarding sessions, and reference architecture reviews with customer stakeholders from engineers up to CTOs.
Represent Taktile in senior architecture discussions on the customer side, giving their enterprise architects and technical leadership a credible, expert counterpart.
Build reusable reference architectures, integration blueprints, and best practices that scale across the Forward Deployed Engineering and Sales teams.
Work across pre-sales and post-sales: supporting Account Executives and Solution Engineers on complex enterprise deals, and partnering with Forward Deployed Engineers to ensure what was sold is what gets built.
About You
You bring 10+ years of experience in solution or enterprise architecture, with significant time spent working directly with large enterprises — ideally in financial services.
You have deep, hands-on knowledge of AWS and enterprise integration patterns (event-driven architectures, messaging, APIs, batch, streaming), and you know when to use which.
You've worked with enterprise-grade legacy systems — core banking platforms, loan origination systems (LOSs), loan management systems (LMS), front-end SDKs, mainframes, on-prem estates — and know what it actually takes to integrate a modern SaaS platform into them.
You have a solid grounding in security and compliance as they apply to regulated enterprises: authentication and authorization patterns, network architecture, encryption, data residency, and audit requirements.
You hold your own with the most senior technical stakeholders on the customer side — enterprise architects, Heads of Engineering, CTOs — and are seen as a peer, not a vendor.
You communicate complex architecture crisply, in writing, on a whiteboard, in a slide deck, and in the room, to both deeply technical and executive audiences.
You're comfortable operating across pre-sales and post-sales, and you know how to make architecture decisions that are right for the customer and commercially sound.
Ideal Qualifications (but not required)
You have experience as a Solution Architect, Enterprise Architect, or Principal Consultant at a B2B SaaS company, cloud provider, or top-tier consultancy serving financial institutions.
You have designed architectures involving AI/ML or Generative AI workloads in production.
You hold relevant certifications (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect Professional, TOGAF).
You have experience responding to enterprise RFPs and security/architecture reviews.
