TL;DR · Senior Lead Field Architect

Senior Lead Field Architect joins the pre-sales Field Architecture team to serve as a technical leader for high-stakes opportunities. This role involves acting as an overlay to account teams, where you will lead "Future State" architecture workshops and navigate complex technical committees involving engineering, security, and data governance. You will build out North Star architectures, conduct gap analyses, and design proof-of-value engagements to ensure production readiness for enterprise clients. The work centers on the modern composable stack, including data warehouses like Snowflake and Databricks, CDPs such as Segment or mParticle, and various martech platforms like Salesforce and Adobe. You will leverage expertise in API/SDK proficiency, system design, and data pipeline technologies to solve complex integration challenges while developing reusable best-practice blueprints for common enterprise scenarios like multi-instance global deployments.

What you'll do

  • Lead high-level "Future State" architecture workshops to map how Braze integrates with a customer's broader enterprise stack.
  • Manage technical stakeholders by addressing concerns from Architecture, Engineering, Information Security, and Data Governance teams.
  • Identify potential technical blockers early in the sales cycle and design scalable workarounds that maintain platform stability.
  • Design and lead proof-of-value engagements to provide prospects with evidence for confident technical selection.
  • Assess delivery constraints and surface risks before closing to ensure proposed solutions are viable in production.
  • Develop best-practice blueprints and reusable architecture patterns for common enterprise scenarios across the organization.
  • Represent the company as a technical evangelist by speaking about integration architecture at conferences and industry events.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 7+ years of experience in customer-facing technical roles such as Solutions Architecture, Sales Engineering, or Enterprise Architecture.
  • Experience must be within B2B SaaS or data platform companies.
  • Proficiency in API and SDK technologies is required.
  • Expertise in advanced system design for composable solutions and various integration methods is required.
  • Deep knowledge of data strategy, including ingestion, cleansing, and pipeline technologies like dbt or Snowflake.
  • Experience with marketing technology (martech) and familiarity with platforms like Salesforce Marketing Cloud or Adobe is required.
  • Familiarity with the modern data stack, including Snowflake, Databricks, and Amazon Redshift, is required.
  • Pre-sales experience is preferred.
