AI Summary

Serve as the primary technical advisor for West Coast enterprise customers, designing secure and scalable Agentic AI and GenAI solutions. Own the end-to-end presales process, including solutioning, sizing, and technical proposal writing, while partnering with delivery teams for execution.

Lavendo partners with startups and high‑growth companies to help them hire top‑tier sales, GTM, and technical talent. This role is with one of our clients; we’ll share full details about the company and interview process as we get to know you and confirm mutual fit.

About the Company

Our client is an AI-first services and product studio that helps regulated enterprises move agentic AI out of pilots and into production. They build proprietary AI products with built-in compliance and security guardrails for financial services and healthcare clients, spanning agentic AI, cloud modernization, and data platforms on AWS. In just over a year, they've grown to 140 people and 100+ customers, backed by a $4.6M seed round from Bessemer Venture Partners and Sorin Investments.

The Mission

That production-readiness is the whole point: enterprises in banking, insurance, and life sciences have no shortage of AI pilots — what they lack is systems that can actually run in the real world under the weight of compliance, security, and scale. Our client exists to close that gap, giving these industries governed AI they can trust in production, not just in a demo.

The Opportunity

As a Solution Architect, you'll be among the first four US-based SA hires as our client launches its North America expansion. Reporting directly to the CEO with no layers of middle management, you'll serve as the primary technical face and trusted advisor for enterprise customers across the West Coast in financial services (BFSI) and life sciences.

What You'll Do

  • Serve as the primary technical advisor for West Coast enterprise customers, from first conversation through architecture alignment to deployment

  • Design secure, scalable agentic AI/GenAI solutions that translate business objectives into cloud, data, and AI architectures

  • Own presales end-to-end — solutioning, sizing, and technical proposal writing

  • Partner with a 140-person delivery team for execution, taying focused on strategy with no hands-on delivery responsibility

What You Bring

  • 6-15 years of experience in solution architecture or a similar field

  • Deep, genuine industry expertise in financial services (FSI) or Life Sciences

  • Proven presales experience, including solutioning, sizing, and proposal writing

  • Hands-on experience with Agentic AI or GenAI use cases, plus solid knowledge of enterprise architecture patterns

  • AWS experience required (Azure or GCP acceptable), with familiarity in Kubernetes, VMware, or OpenShift as a plus

  • Based in or willing to be based in the Bay Area, with openness to self-directed travel

Key Success Drivers

  • Builder mindset with strong ownership of the technical relationship, from start to finish

  • Deep industry credibility in FSI or Life Sciences

  • Ability to build trust quickly with senior enterprise stakeholders like CTOs and Chief Data Officers

  • Comfort operating with high autonomy, including deciding when remote engagement is enough versus when on-site travel is warranted

  • Strategic, presales-to-delivery ownership without needing to manage hands-on execution

Why Join?

  • Strong comp: $220K-$280K base, $55K-$70K bonus, equity

  • VC-backed momentum: $4.6M seed round from Bessemer Venture Partners and Sorin Investments

  • Proven traction: 140 employees, 100+ customers in 15 months

  • Direct CEO access: No escalation chain

  • True flexibility: Fully remote, self-directed travel
