Job Description

Job description

We are growing rapidly and are looking for a

Solution Architect - Software Platforms

who can act as the

bridge between Product Management and Engineering

, translating product requirements into robust, scalable software solutions.

About the Role

As the

Solution Architect - Software Platforms

, you are the key technical lead responsible for translating

Product team vision and business requirements

into

clear, implementable software architectures

for the Development team.

Reporting to the CTO, with a strong dotted line to Engineering leadership, you will:

Work closely with

Product Managers

to shape features, define scope, and clarify non-functional requirements. Work closely with

Developers, ML Engineers, and DevOps

to design, document, and guide implementation of end-to-end solutions across our SaaS platform.
Your primary mission is to

ensure alignment and predictability

between "what we want to build" (Product) and "how we build it" (Dev), so that NTWIST ships

high-quality, maintainable, and scalable software

on time.

This is an influential, senior individual contributor role with high visibility across Product and Engineering.

Key Strategic & Professional Responsibilities

I. Product Alignment & Requirements Translation

Partner with Product Managers to

review PRDs / BRDs

, clarify edge cases, and define

functional and non-functional requirements

(performance, scalability, security, availability). Translate product requirements into

system-level designs, sequence diagrams, and API contracts

that can be consumed directly by development teams. Challenge and refine requirements where needed to reduce complexity, improve usability, and ensure technical feasibility within given timelines. Support backlog refinement and sprint planning by breaking down features into

architecturally coherent epics and stories

.
II. Software Architecture & Technical Design (The Bridge)

Design

high-level and component-level architectures

for NTWIST's SaaS and data/AI products (services, data flows, integrations, deployment topologies). Define

standards and patterns

for microservices, APIs, data pipelines, eventing/streaming, and integrations with MES / SCADA / historians / ERP, together with the Dev team. Own and maintain

architecture documentation

(diagrams, RFCs, decision records) so Product and Dev have a shared source of truth. Collaborate with ML Research and Data teams to define

interfaces for AI/ML models

, including input/output schemas, latency expectations, and deployment models (cloud / edge). Participate in

design reviews and code/PR reviews

for critical components to ensure architectural consistency and technical quality.
III. Delivery Support & Governance

Provide ongoing

architecture guidance during development

, unblocking teams by clarifying design questions and trade-offs in real time. Ensure that delivered features align with

original design, performance targets, and security standards

. Work with DevOps/SRE to ensure architectures are

monitorable, resilient, and cost-efficient

in production. Support effort estimation and release planning by providing

realistic technical assessments

and risk identification. Contribute to

technical governance

: shared libraries, coding standards, API versioning, documentation expectations.
IV. Cross-Team Enablement & Internal Communication

Act as the

primary translator

between Product and Engineering, ensuring both sides share a common understanding of goals, constraints, and trade-offs. Run internal sessions to

educate Product and Dev

on platform capabilities, constraints, and best-practice usage patterns. Support Sales / Pre-Sales and Delivery teams with

internal architecture briefings

when needed (e.g., for large deals or complex implementation questions), but remain primarily focused on

internal product development

.
Required Professional QualificationsEducation & Experience

Bachelor's degree in

Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field

. A Master's degree is a plus.

8-12+ years

of professional experience in software development, with at least

3-5 years in a Solution Architect / Senior Engineer / Tech Lead

role in a SaaS or platform environment. Experience working closely with

Product Management and cross-functional engineering teams

to design and deliver complex software systems.
Technical Skills

Strong hands-on background in

modern backend development

(e.g., Python, Java, C#, or similar) and familiarity with

front-end frameworks

is an asset. Deep experience with

cloud platforms

(AWS/Azure/GCP), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and

modern CI/CD

practices. Solid understanding of

microservices architectures, REST/gRPC APIs, event-driven architectures, and data pipelines

. Experience integrating with

industrial data sources

(MES, SCADA, PLCs, historians, ERP) or other OT/IT systems is a strong plus. Familiarity with

AI/ML product lifecycle

and deployment patterns (e.g., model APIs, feature stores, monitoring) is highly desirable.
Leadership & Soft Skills

Excellent

communication skills

- able to explain complex technical concepts in simple language to Product Managers and non-technical stakeholders. Strong

analytical and structured thinking

; comfortable making and documenting architectural trade-offs. High degree of

ownership and autonomy

; able to drive outcomes across multiple teams without formal authority. Collaborative mindset with the ability to

build trust with both Product and Engineering

.
