Solution Architect
We seek a Solution Architect with Backbase experience to join our team! When you join Aequilibrium, you get to be a part of a fun and agile company driving innovative change in FinTech and VR.

Who You Are
- As a Solution Architect, it’s your job to ascertain that envisaged solutions become reality.
- Taking this client-facing role, you are equally comfortable in deep-dive technical workshops and in board-level sales presentations.
- Having earned your stripes in designing web-based architectures, you have no problem finding the scope in large-scale, complex projects.
- To the development team, you are the vital mainstay during implementation processes. To customers and partners, you are the expert liaison with a keen sense of their needs. So, besides being a great technician, you are also a considerate companion who delivers remarkable results continuously.

- You know our projects will be delivered according to briefing, time, and budget, but you also know our technicians need their space to build the solutions you’ve defined. By creating structure and clear explanations, you guide and oversee your team.
- Also, part of the job involves creating technical architecture documentation, working with the QA lead to define the test strategy, leading DevOps to define and implement CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring that implementations meet non-functional requirements. You will travel a significant amount of the time, spending time on-site during the inception phase and when providing training and workshops.
