[Hiring] Senior Solutions Architect @McGaw

Role Description

The Senior Solutions Architect will own technical delivery across accounts, design the stack, build the hard parts, direct the technical team, and keep projects on schedule and profitable.

Responsibilities include:

• Architecture and design:
  • Design end-to-end customer data stacks: CDP, analytics, marketing automation, CRM, warehouse, pipelines, tag management, testing.
  • Lead taxonomy design. Define events, properties, and naming before implementation, not after.
  • Solve identity resolution across web, app, offline, and CRM.
  • Write ecosystem docs that show where data moves and what breaks if it stops.
• Hands-on build:
  • Build. This is not an advisory seat: you will be in the CDP, the warehouse, GTM, and the code.
  • Write and review tracking, server-side integrations, and reverse ETL pipelines.
  • Run QA to our two-person standard. Check every property in both the CDP and the destination, with a recorded walkthrough.
• Directing the team:
  • Turn client requirements into scoped, sequenced tasks for engineers and contract developers.
  • Review their work before it reaches a client. You are the quality gate.
  • Unblock people. When a build stalls, you get it moving.
• Keeping delivery on track:
  • Run the cadence: two-week sprints, a groomed backlog, and a roadmap with three or more months of planned work.
  • Flag budget pacing early. Never surprise a client on budget.
  • There are no free scope changes. Every change gets estimated, documented, and confirmed in writing before work starts.
• New business:
  • Write technical specs for new opportunities. What gets built, in what order, and what it depends on.
  • Produce level of effort estimates accurate enough that Sales can price without a rebuild.
  • Join pre-sales calls when a prospect needs a technical answer in the room.
  • Say when a prospect is not ready, and what would make them ready.

Qualifications

• Fully fluent in English.
• 6+ years designing and integrating marketing and customer data technology.
• At least 3 years in an agency, consultancy, or professional services with multiple clients.

• Designed at least three full stacks, not just operated tools someone else picked.
• GDPR and consent handled as part of the build.
