We are hiring a Solution Architect for Pre-Sales to act as a technical partner to our commercial and account teams across Europe. This is a transversal role supporting multiple accounts and industries — from retail and consumer brands to financial services and energy.

You will shape early-stage technical conversations, lead or support proposal development, and bring strategic architecture thinking into sales cycles. You’ll help clients understand what’s possible — and help Photon understand what’s required to deliver.

This is an ideal role for an adaptable engineering leader looking to step into a client-facing, hybrid architecture + presales position, even without formal “presales” experience.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and support technical discovery sessions during client meetings, translating needs into architecture ideas, platforms, or integration paths.
• Design high-level solution architectures with support from engineering and delivery teams (global).
• Shape proposals and estimates, including RFP responses, SOWs, and solution overviews.
• Act as a technical advocate for Photon’s platform offerings, including our Agentic AI system, PHTN.ai.
• Collaborate with global engineering and UX leaders to structure delivery models for complex projects.
• Evaluate technical talent for upcoming engagements through interviews and vetting processes.
• Help facilitate AI workshops, proof-of-concept sessions, and technical demos during presales when needed.

What you Bring:

• 7+ years of experience in engineering, architecture, or digital product delivery.
• Exposure to CMS platforms, ecommerce systems, mobile app development, cloud-native architectures, or API-based ecosystems.
• Strong understanding or interest in AI/ML, GenAI, and enterprise data platforms – especially how they integrate into customer experience.
• Prior experience working in a consulting, agency, or client-facing environment, with comfort handling ambiguity and evolving requirements.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills – especially with non-technical audiences.
• Fluency in English (required); other European languages are a plus.
• Preferred locations: Paris or London.
• Travel: Occasional client travel across Europe.
• You’ll work closely with European commercial leadership and global engineering and product teams (especially in India and the US).
