TL;DR · Senior Lead Field Architect

The 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 manage complex technical stakeholders across engineering, security, and data governance departments. You will build reusable patterns for the modern composable stack, including data warehouses, CDPs, streaming, cloud infrastructure, and AI. Day-to-day responsibilities include performing gap analyses, designing proof-of-value engagements, and creating best-practice blueprints for enterprise scenarios. To succeed, you must possess expertise in system design, data pipeline technologies like Snowflake and Databricks, and proficiency with martech platforms such as Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Adobe. You will solve complex integration challenges by navigating the trade-offs between batch ingestion and real-time streaming within a modern engagement platform.

What you'll do

  • Lead high-level "Future State" architecture workshops to map how Braze integrates with various enterprise technology stacks.
  • Manage technical stakeholders by addressing concerns from engineering, security, data governance, and systems integration teams.
  • Identify potential technical blockers early in the sales cycle and design scalable workarounds.
  • 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 production-ready.
  • Develop best-practice blueprints and reusable patterns for common enterprise scenarios across the organization.
  • Speak at conferences and industry events to advocate for Braze and high-quality integration architectures.

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.
