About the Role

This is a critical, strategic role for a hands-on technology leader who can bridge the gap between Skyflow’s data privacy vault and our customers’ complex enterprise ecosystems.

Our implementation teams are experts in the Skyflow product; you're an enterprise expert. You will be a trusted, customer-facing advisor to our most strategic customers, from engineering teams up to C-level and VP-level technology leaders. This is not a review-and-critique role. We’re looking for someone who defines architectures and solutions, joins customer calls, shares their screen, whiteboards in real time, and gets hands-on to help customers decide where and how Skyflow fits into their systems. You’ll guide conversations rather than wait to be prompted, and help customers move from a complex business problem to a concrete, working solution.

You will

• Act as the primary technical advisor for Skyflow’s strategic enterprise customers, leading complex integration discussions with engineering teams and technology leaders (CTOs, CIOs, CISOs, VPs of Engineering).

• Help customers determine where and how to integrate Skyflow into their systems, defining the architecture and solution design rather than reviewing someone else’s.

• Run live working sessions on customer calls: screen sharing, whiteboarding, and hands-on keyboard work to design and validate integration approaches.

• Plan and guide performance tests at scale, identifying pitfalls, trade-offs, and the pros and cons of different approaches.

• Advise customers operating in complex data environments, including modern data platforms such as Databricks and Snowflake, multi-cloud deployments, legacy modernization, and large-scale tokenization.

• Partner with Skyflow Sales and Customer Experience teams to establish technical credibility and provide architectural guidance across the pre-sales and post-sales lifecycle.

• Bring field insights back to Skyflow’s Product Management and Engineering teams to help shape the platform roadmap.

• Contribute to reference architectures, integration patterns, and best-practice guides that help customers adopt Skyflow as a foundational part of their data strategy.

You have

• Senior-level experience as an Enterprise Architect, Principal Solutions Architect, or in a similar hands-on architecture role, with a track record of impact on complex customer environments.

• At least 5 years of client-facing experience.

• A background that started in software development or engineering and progressed into architecture.

• Experience in a regulated industry, ideally banking/financial services or healthcare, and/or a consulting background.

• Deep, hands-on expertise designing scalable architectures, API frameworks, and microservices ecosystems at enterprise scale.

• Strong understanding of data security, governance, and compliance (e.g., PCI, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA). Experience with tokenization, encryption, and data vaulting is a significant plus.

• Solid working knowledge of AWS, GCP, and/or Azure, including cloud-native security patterns and modern data platforms such as Databricks and Snowflake.

• Excellent listening, questioning, and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and executive audiences.

• A proactive, hungry, ownership-driven mindset: you take control of a conversation, ask the right questions, and drive toward an answer without waiting for direction.

Benefits:

• Home Office Expense

• Health, Vision, Dental

• Unlimited PTO

• Flexible working hours

• Equity
