We are looking for a Solutions Architect to join our EMEA team . You will work at the core of the GenAI revolution , with organizations that are moving GenAI from pilot to production across industries, and own the technical win on your accounts, from the first conversation to the signed contract. This is a fully remote role for candidates based in the EU . You will be part of the EMEA team, mostly based in Switzerland, and support customers across EMEA and APAC . What You’ll Do As a Solutions Architect , you are the technical owner of your opportunities and accounts, end to end: from the first point of contact with a prospect to closing the deal and handing over to delivery. This is a strategic, client-facing role , not an operational one. You decide how we win technically, you shape the solution together with the customer, and you are accountable for it being sound and deliverable. You bring a consulting mindset to every engagement: running workshops, digging into processes, and designing solutions with the customer rather than for them. Key responsibilities include: Consulting and Discovery - Lead discovery workshops with prospects to identify their real pain points, understand the processes behind them, and surface the blockers that matter. - Define the “As-Is” and “To-Be” states together with the customer and translate business objectives into a solution architecture. - Scope the solution jointly with the customer: architecture, timeline, deliverables, success criteria, and effort estimation, validating feasibility with Squirro project managers and engineers. - Document findings in Statements of Work (SOWs) and project scoping templates, so that delivery teams can pick up exactly where you left off. Technical Win: Demos, PoCs, and RfPs - Own the technical win strategy on your accounts: what to show, what to prove, and how to close. - Demonstrate Squirro’s platform to prospects, tailoring presentations and demos to their use case and industry. - Scope and run Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) on client data — preparing data, configuring the solution, and prototyping — to validate requirements against success criteria agreed with the customer. - Act as the technical authority in customer meetings: answer technical questions, respond to RfPs and RfIs, and address objections from architects, CISOs, and IT leadership. Account Ownership: From Sales to Delivery - Partner with Account Executives as the technical owner of the opportunity, from qualification through to deal closure. - Own the handover from presales to delivery, including formal handover meetings and documentation, and remain the architectural point of contact during implementation. - Support your accounts after go-live on architecture evolution and expansion opportunities. - Channel structured feedback from customer interactions into Product and Engineering. Scalable Assets and Enablement - Build and maintain reusable presales assets: demo environments, RfP answer libraries, PoC playbooks, scoping calculators, and SOW templates. - Contribute to retrospectives and feedback loops to improve how we scope, estimate, and hand over. - Enable Account Executives and partners on technical positioning, and share best practices across the organization. What You Bring As this region continues to grow, we’re looking for a hands-on Solutions Architect who is comfortable operating at both strategic and tactical levels. - 4+ years of experience in technical consulting, solution engineering, data science, data engineering, or software development - Client-facing experience in a technical sales or consulting role, explaining complex solutions to both technical and non-technical audiences. - A consulting mindset : you know how to run a workshop, ask the uncomfortable questions, and turn an ambiguous problem into a solution the customer owns with you. - Hands-on GenAI and search experience : you have built or deployed LLM/RAG solutions and understand embeddings, hybrid retrieval, prompt design, grounding, and permissions-aware enterprise search well enough to explain why an answer is wrong and how to fix it. Experience with taxonomies and knowledge graphs, or Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, is a plus. - Architecture and integration skills : comfortable with Python and SQL for data preparation and prototyping, REST APIs and enterprise connectors (SharePoint, Confluence, databases), authentication (OIDC, SAML, AD), and the basics of cloud, Kubernetes, and on-premises or air-gapped deployments. You can draw an architecture and defend it in front of a CISO. - Industry experience in Financial Services, Government or Manufacturing is preferred. - Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with fluency in English . Additional languages are preferred, in particular Chinese, Arabic, German, French, or Italian . - A degree in Computer Science / Data Science / Machine Learning or a related technical discipline. - Based in the EU — this is a fully remote role. Why Join Us - Ownership : You own the technical win on your accounts. Your judgement shapes what we sell and how it gets built. - Impact : Your work won’t disappear into a pipeline — you’ll see it used by some of the world’s leading organizations. - Growth : Work on cutting-edge problems in AI and search, alongside experienced engineers who value curiosity and learning. - Culture : Agile, startup-like, with quick decision-making and plenty of room to contribute ideas. - Balance : We believe in continuous feedback, lifelong learning, and supporting personal growth.
