Solutions Architect

Role Description

BlueCloud is seeking an experienced and technically deep Solutions Architect to help enterprise customers modernize their data platforms, accelerate AI adoption, and unlock measurable business value through the Snowflake ecosystem.

In this role, you will partner with clients across Financial Services, Retail, Healthcare & Life Sciences, and Automotive to design scalable data and AI architectures that solve complex business challenges. Working closely with BlueCloud's sales, advisory, and delivery teams, you will serve as a trusted technical advisor throughout the customer lifecycle – from initial discovery and solution design through implementation and long-term platform strategy.

This is a highly visible, client-facing role that blends technical leadership, solution architecture, and pre-sales consulting. You will help customers define their future-state data and AI strategy while leveraging BlueCloud's AI Garage, Snowflake expertise, and proven accelerators to deliver outcomes faster than traditional consulting approaches.

The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise with strong business acumen and executive presence. You are equally comfortable whiteboarding with a CIO, leading architecture workshops with technical teams, supporting a sales pursuit, or reviewing implementation plans with delivery teams. You are passionate about helping customers solve meaningful business problems and enjoy translating emerging technologies into practical, measurable outcomes.

As BlueCloud continues to expand its position as a leading Snowflake and AI transformation partner, this role offers the opportunity to shape customer strategy, influence large-scale transformation programs, and help define the future of enterprise data and AI.
