Solutions Architect

We are seeking a Solutions Architect to own how Scaffold fits each customer’s business, from early sales conversations through discovery, solution design, and a clean handoff to implementation. This is a multifaceted role requiring strong technical judgment, excellent communication, and a consultative mindset. You will be the technical voice of Scaffold in pre-sale and discovery, shaping realistic integration and workflow strategies so implementation teams can deliver quickly and customers see value on day one. ‍ WHAT YOU’LL DO - Partner with sales and customer stakeholders during pre-sale to assess fit, scope integrations, and set realistic expectations for timelines and outcomes. - Lead discovery workshops to map contractor workflows, homebuilder systems and processes, and ERP data flows into Scaffold-ready solution designs. - Design end-to-end implementation approaches: integration architecture, data mapping, workflow configuration, and phased rollout plans. - Produce clear solution artifacts (requirements, integration specs, success criteria, and risk/mitigation notes) for handoff to Implementation Engineering. - Collaborate with product and engineering on feasibility, roadmap gaps, and reusable patterns that improve future deployments. - Translate customer needs into structured product feedback and prioritization inputs. - Develop solution playbooks, reference architectures, and discovery templates that scale across customers. - Serve as the primary technical advisor from first call through kickoff; stay involved through early adoption to validate the design holds in production. - Coach implementation teams on complex accounts and act as escalation point for architectural decisions during delivery. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR - Experience: 4+ years in solutions architecture, solutions consulting, technical presales, or enterprise SaaS implementation. Experience designing integrations and workflows for operational/business systems strongly preferred. - Technical Skills: Strong Python and SQL proficiency. Deep familiarity with APIs, integrations, ETL/data flows, and how ERPs and third-party platforms exchange data. Ability to evaluate technical fit without writing every line of production code. - Solution Design: Proven ability to turn ambiguous business requirements into actionable implementation plans, with clear scope, dependencies, and handoff documentation. - Communication: Excellent written and verbal skills; comfortable presenting to executives, IT, and operations teams. Can explain tradeoffs and recommend pragmatic paths. - People Skills: Empathy, curiosity, and a customer-first mindset. Skilled at facilitating discovery and aligning diverse stakeholders. - Startup DNA: Excited to define practices as we grow by building discovery frameworks, solution standards, and repeatable patterns alongside founders and delivery teams. WHY JOIN SCAFFOLD? - Impact: Shape how leading contractors and builders adopt Scaffold, and how our platform evolves to serve the residential construction industry. - Growth Opportunity: Be an early leader in a venture-backed company, influencing presale motion, solution methodology, and customer outcomes. - Culture: Work alongside high-caliber teammates in a no-ego, high-energy environment. - Compensation: Competitive salary and meaningful equity in the company.
