Solution Architect, Canada

Here’s the bit about the opportunity:

As a Solution Architect in our Professional Services team, you own the technical delivery of Fireblocks implementations for the region’s largest Banks and Financial Institutions. From deal close through to production, you lead architecture design, integration, and deployment on customer infrastructure. You also bring that delivery expertise into strategic pre-sales cycles, helping Sales win the deals you will go on to deliver.

You’ll be:

• Owning the transition from deal close to production, taking end-to-end accountability for the solutions delivered
• Defining enterprise customers’ setup with Fireblocks, including API integrations, security architecture, and architecture documentation
• Steering complex integrations across core banking, custody, tokenisation, and Travel Rule through to production
• Codifying reusable reference architectures, integration patterns, and playbooks to scale delivery across AMER
• Acting as the bridge between Sales, Product, R&D, and customers to solve complex integration challenges
• Supporting strategic pre-sales cycles with technical discovery and solution design
• Ensuring operational excellence and a high standard of customer satisfaction throughout delivery

What we’re looking for:

• Bachelor’s degree or above in Computer Science or a related field, with 5+ years of relevant experience
• Proven experience delivering post-sale implementations in complex enterprise or financial services environments
• Experience with either blockchain, cryptography, or Web3 technologies, or with Banks, Financial Institutions, or enterprise financial systems. One is a must, both is a strong advantage
• Software development experience and a hands-on technical mindset
• Deep understanding of IT security and proven cloud experience
• Strong knowledge of enterprise architecture and best practices
• Demonstrated technical leadership, mentoring engineers or architects and setting technical standards
• Pre-sales exposure (solution architecture, sales engineering, or RFP support) is a plus
• Excellent written and spoken English; Spanish and/or Portuguese a plus

It is not typical for a candidate to be hired at or near the top of the pay range and each compensation decision is dependent on each individual case. A reasonable base salary range estimate for this position is $205,000 to $268,000. The base salary is one component of the total compensation package, which for some roles may include a target bonus, a very competitive equity grant, and very generous benefits. 

While we believe competitive compensation is a critical aspect of you deciding to join us, we do hope you also spend time considering why our mission and culture are right for you. We are creating something transformational here, and we hope you are as excited about the future as we are.
