Principal Product Solution Architect

About the Role

<h3> </h3> <h3>Job Summary: </h3> <p>We are seeking a visionary Principal Product Solutions Architect to lead the technical design, configuration patterns, and system orchestration for our next-generation Enterprise Financial Close, Reconciliation, and Anomaly Detection product.Our product is built on top of an advanced, internal, metadata-driven low-code platform featuring a highly interactive, spreadsheet like user interface. This is a specialized product application and data modeling architecture role. Your core mandate is to translate intricate financial compliance logic into a scalable, high-performance product application layer, utilizing an internal engine that abstracts out transformations to natively run on Datalakes. You will architect the application patterns that enable a fast-moving engineering organization of a large team of developers to build concurrently while scaling to process hundreds of millions of transaction rows for global Fortune 500 enterprises.</p> <p>Not Required: Infrastructure, CI/CD, DevOps, security/authentication, raw ERP data ingestion pipelines, and the standalone machine learning engines are completely managed by dedicated horizontal engineering teams.</p> <h3>Key Responsibilities</h3> <ul> <li> <p>Metadata-Driven Application Design: Architect the semantic data layer, defining how standard and complex custom objects interact within an enterprise-wide low-code data catalog. Ensure flexible configurations seamlessly support varied multinational financial structures out of the box.</p> </li> <li> <p>Performance Engineering: Own the approaches to best column-level transformation formulas. Ensure that complex data reconciliation mappings defined by users in an abstract UI adhere to highly efficient, parallelized, and cost-effective Snowflake SQL paths that avoid performance degradation or runaway cloud compute expenses during the critical month-end close window.</p> </li> <li> <p>Cross-Team Technical Orchestration: Act as the primary technical ambassador and contract negotiator for the product unit. Collaborate directly with adjacent engineering teams to define robust, production-grade API contracts for ERP Data Ingestion, UI Widgets, and the AI/Rules anomaly detection engine.</p> </li> <li> <p>Configuration Governance at Scale: Establish software development lifecycle (SDLC) best practices tailored for a low-code metadata environment. Define patterns for version control, component modularity, testing, and dependency management to enable a large engineering organization to build simultaneously without conflict or regressions.</p> </li> <li> <p>Technical Domain Liaison: Work closely with a team of Product Managers to dissect sophisticated accounting workflows (such as intercompany reconciliations and ledger-to-subledger matching) and translate them into robust, reproducible platform configurations.</p> </li> </ul> <h3>Skills and experience needed</h3> <ul> <li> <p>Platform-Native Architectural Experience: A proven track record of designing large-scale, metadata-driven systems. Deep familiarity with expanding or building heavy business applications on top of highly structured platforms (e.g., Salesforce Lightning/Apex, ServiceNow, Guidewire, SAP NetWeaver, or highly complex internal PaaS frameworks).</p> </li> <li> <p>Expertise in Domain-Driven Design (DDD): Superior capability to transform fluid business logic and accounting rules into immutable, structured entity relationships and declarative constraints.</p> </li> <li> <p>Systems Orchestration Mindset: Exceptional capacity to design complex application state workflows, cross-system dependency mappings, and cleanly isolated service contracts without managing raw infrastructure.</p> </li> <li> <p>Outstanding Technical Communication: A proven history of writing clear, comprehensive RFCs and technical documentation, with the executive presence to negotiate architectural priorities across multi-functional core platform teams. </p> </li> <li> <p>Prior experience working in the financial technology space (Corporate Accounting, Auditing, Fintech SaaS, or ERP customizations).</p> </li> <li> <p>Experience designing software that complies with strict enterprise audit requirements (SOX compliance, data lineage, SOC 2).</p> </li> </ul> <h3>What You Will NOT Need to Do</h3> <p>Because we have dedicated underlying infrastructure and core engine teams, your background does not need to emphasize:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Core cloud-native infrastructure administration (Kubernetes, Docker, Service Meshes, Terraform).</p> </li> <li> <p>Low-level systems programming or building Java/Go microservices from scratch.</p> </li> <li> <p>Writing raw Machine Learning training loops or building native ETL ingestion adapters.</p> </li> </ul>
