Solution Architect

As a Solution Architect you own the end-to-end solution design for strategic Ataccama customers across EMEA & APAC - translating business requirements into scalable, high-performance designs on the Ataccama ONE platform, and acting as the technical authority across delivery, presales, and customer success.
