You are a technical expert who thrives at the intersection of technology and business value.
Whether it's architecting a complex API integration, running a compelling demo, or designing a proof-of-concept that makes engineers say "wow," you've mastered the art of turning technical complexity into customer confidence.
You love the challenge of greenfield opportunities and building something from the ground up.
This isn't your typical Solutions Architect role. As the first-to-funtion, you're at the front lines of WunderGraph's go-to-market motion.
You're the technical voice that helps potential clients see what's possible. The trusted advisor who guides them from "interesting idea" to "let's build this," and the bridge between our product and our customers' real-world challenges.
You know how to navigate technical stakeholders from senior engineers to CTOs, selling on value and building credibility across complex evaluation cycles.
You can balance technical demos with POC implementations and requirements gathering with competitive positioning.
You can write code when needed, review architectures with confidence, and in time and with training explain API federation to a developer or a VP of Engineering with equal clarity.
Most importantly, you care deeply about the customer, their technical challenges, and how WunderGraph can uniquely solve them.
