The Opportunity

We are seeking a

Solution Architect - Industrial SaaS

who combines

deep problem-solving capability

,

business-first thinking

, and

technical architecture leadership

.


This is a

customer-facing, delivery-aligned role

that bridges business outcomes, digital architecture, and system reliability. The Solution Architect acts as the

#1 problem solver and technical escalation point

-- ensuring that every Innovapptive implementation achieves fast adoption, seamless reliability, and measurable value realization.


You will work hand-in-hand with Solution Consultants (domain experts), Implementation Leads, and Engineering to design resilient architectures, address adoption-blocking non-functional requirements, and drive enterprise-grade solution performance.

How You Will Make An Impact.

#

1. Business-First Problem Solving

Act as the customer's trusted technology advisor to diagnose and resolve roadblocks impacting adoption, reliability, or performance. Translate frontline pain (e.g., sync issues, latency, connectivity challenges, poor UX) into actionable technical and process resolutions. Lead RCA sessions to identify architecture or configuration issues slowing time-to-value. Ensure all solutions are designed to drive quantifiable business outcomes in

safety, reliability, and cost take-out

.
#

2. Architecture Leadership & NFR Ownership

Own end-to-end architecture for customer implementations -- including

security, scalability, performance, and offline reliability

. Define and validate NFRs: Wi-Fi resilience, offline sync strategy, SSO (SAML, OAuth2), API and integration architecture, and deployment models (public/private cloud). Partner with customer IT and engineering teams to ensure solution readiness and compliance with enterprise standards (SOC 2, GDPR, ISO 27001). Create detailed architecture artifacts: solution blueprints, data flow diagrams, API integration maps, and configuration matrices.
#

3. Adoption Acceleration & Value Realization

Measure and drive improvements in

crash-free sessions, sync reliability, latency, and uptime

to ensure world-class user experience. Collaborate with Solution Consultants to link architecture quality with operational KPIs (e.g., PM/CM mix, backlog, schedule compliance). Participate in Executive SteerCo sessions to present technical risk mitigations, adoption progress, and reliability metrics.
#

4. Cross-Functional Leadership

Serve as the bridge between

Professional Services, Product Engineering, and Customer IT

, ensuring fast issue resolution and proactive design governance. Provide hands-on technical mentorship to implementation consultants and engineers. Champion architecture governance across all customer programs, driving consistency and reusability. Collaborate with Product and Engineering to influence roadmap priorities through field-derived insights.
#

5. Continuous Improvement & CoE Contribution

Contribute to the Solution Architecture Center of Excellence by developing design accelerators, troubleshooting frameworks, and NFR playbooks. Institutionalize best practices in reliability, performance tuning, and scalability. Support internal readiness initiatives and coach teams on architecture-driven delivery excellence.
