Its modular, AI-powered infrastructure enables hoteliers to customise their tech stack, automate routine work, and deliver seamless, personalised guest experiences, powered by best-in-class apps and autonomous AI agents that adapt to every stay.\nWhy this role\nYou are the technical voice in front of strategic customers, at a moment when hospitality is being rebuilt around AI. We are launching our own AI agent platform, and we need architects who can show operators what comes next.\nHigh trust. You own the technical answer in front of strategic customers and deals.\nHigh visibility. Your work shows up in deals, key accounts and customer stories, and it reaches Product.\nHigh freedom. You decide how to solve a problem, which tools to use and what to prototype.\nFast iteration. We test ideas within days, try new technology early and share what works.\nYour mission\nWin and grow strategic accounts with technical credibility, and turn what you learn in the field into input for the product. You look at a customer's current architecture and show how an Apaleo-centred setup delivers their goals. You also help them put AI agents to work, deciding what should be an agent, what it costs and how to set it up. Sales and Account Management own the relationship and the commercial terms. You own the technical answer.\nWhat you will do\nTechnical discovery and solution scoping. Lead discovery where a standard demo is not enough. Write clear scopes covering what Apaleo delivers natively, what needs a short-term solution and what is out of scope.\n Proofs of concept. Build fast, working proofs of concept (quick demos that show technical fit). Agree scope in writing first, and build in a safe test environment, never with live guest data.\nAgents and automations. Design and build agents and automations for customer use cases, using n8n or Make today and Apaleo's own AI agent platform as it launches. Write code where agents need deterministic steps.\n Hands-on delivery and short-term solutions. Work alongside the customer, building only where it unblocks a named deal, removes an adoption risk or fills a product gap. Agree an exit plan (an end date, a replacement and a named owner) before you start.\n Post-sale health checks and expansions. Diagnose gaps against the go-live specification, run proactive checks (for example 90 days after go-live) and scope integrations for expanding customers.\nReusable assets. Turn every engagement into a reference architecture, pattern or template that the next twenty customers can use.\nThought leadership. Join prospect and customer conversations on how AI will change hospitality over the next two to three years.\n Product feedback. Test new technology on real customer problems. Share prototypes and field evidence with Product, ending every experiment with a clear decision: adopt, hand over or drop.\nHow you work\nYou decide the approach, the stack and the order of work.\nYou protect three guardrails: written scope before a proof of concept, an exit plan before a custom build and no commercial promises.\nYou go from idea to prototype in days and show it early.\nYou think in systems and build for reuse, not one-off projects.\nYou share findings openly with Sales, Account Management and Product.\nWho you work with\nSales/BD and Account Management (they call you in at defined deal triggers), Customer Success, Product, Security, Partnerships, RevOps and Senior Leadership. \nWhat you bring\nMust have\nMultiple years in solution architecture, solution engineering or technical consulting in B2B SaaS, ideally with complex software such as ERP or enterprise platforms\nStrong API skills: REST, authentication, webhooks and events, and data-flow design\nHands-on workflow automation (n8n preferred) and practical experience building with LLM agents\nA systems thinker with real AI curiosity, who uses AI tools day to day\nStakeholder management experience and credibility with executives and IT teams\nSelf-direction, an ownership mindset and the discipline to say no to scope that does not advance a deal\nCuriosity that ends in working prototypes, not just opinions\nClear, structured documentation habits\nFluent English and French skills\nWillingness to travel, including regularly to France and the UK\nStrong plus\nHospitality or travel experience, including hotel operations and PMS concepts (reservations, folios, rate plans, night audit)\nExperience with another cloud PMS, channel manager or payments integrations\nEnterprise architecture experience on large, multi-site projects\nApplied AI or ML background, or experience with MCP and agent platforms\nSQL and BI fundamentals\nHow we measure success\nArchitecture engagements and blueprints delivered each quarter\nCustomer satisfaction with your contribution\nAdoption of recommended apps, integrations and agents\nShare of engagements served by an existing reusable pattern\nRevenue impact e.g. deal unblocked, AI adoption, or churn averted\nYour first 90 days\nDays 1 to 30: Learn the platform and ways of working, shadow discovery and proof of concept work, and take over open customer projects.\nDays 31 to 60: Lead technical discovery on live deals and run your first health check with Account Management.\nDays 61 to 90: Deliver a proof of concept or short-term solution end to end with an exit plan, and share your first experiment with Product.\nWhat We Offer\nCulture & Growth\nA Diverse & International Team: Work alongside passionate professionals from over 20 nationalities, bringing unique cultural perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences to shape the future of hospitality tech.\nGrowth & Development: As we scale, so do your opportunities.
