Principal Solutions Architect - Infra Modernization

Welcome to Searce

The ‘process-first’ AI-native modern tech consultancy that's rewriting the rules.

We don’t do traditional.

futurify

The result? Modern business reinvention, built on math, tech, and clarity of purpose.

Your Mission: The Role

Solving for better.

• You are a

  revenue-enabling, outcome-delivering, forward-deployed solver (fds)

  leading infrastructure modernization from the first principles.
• You’ll be a

  Directly Responsible Individual (DRI)

  for co-innovating transformative infrastructure solutions with client stakeholders by building differently & questioning the status quo.
• Let’s be clear: this is not your typical Architect role where success is measured in presentation decks. At Searce, you get into the weeds, leading with a code-first mindset, as you

  evolve intelligent outcomes

  ; while you remain 100% accountable for the solutions engineered & the real outcomes realized.
• If you’re a tech-savvy, hands-on engineer with the brain of an architect, the heart of an innovator, and the charisma of a leader — we’ve got a seat for you at the front of the table.
• You're not a project manager. You're the

  transformation engine

  .

Your Responsibilities

What you will wake up to solve.

This isn’t a ‘manage the backlog’ role. You are the founder, the architect, and the DRI (Directly Responsible Individual) for building a part of an AI-native engineering-led modern tech consultancy that remains transformative outcome-focused.

Your mission is to partner with visionary clients, leverage our ‘builder DNA’ to disrupt traditional architectures and genuinely futurify clients' business operations to create ‘real value’.

Here’s how you’ll make your mark:

• Own Growth with a founder’s mindset:

Own the technical execution (and efficiency if you are in a people management role). Prototype. Build. Deploy. Architect and execute a region-specific GTM strategy that earns client trust. Forge deep alliances with hyperscalers, ISVs, and platform providers. Be the ‘face of Searce’ in CXO conversations, industry forums, and roundtables.

• Engineer & Build as the "face of Searce" in CXO conversations, industry forums, and roundtables:

Architect innovative solutions to deliver intelligent outcomes. Lead engaging discovery workshops using first-principles thinking. Apply our proprietary evlos methodology—iterate fast and fearlessly. Your role is to serve as the chief translator between a client's biggest challenges and our most intelligent, cloud-native infrastructure solutions. Design scalable, resilient, and secure cloud-first solutions grounded in data intelligence that drive true value. Replace “nice diagrams” with “pleasant surprises for clients” via working real outcomes.

• Lead by example & impact, Not control

At Searce, leadership is an action, not a title. You are the DRI for client outcomes. Attract, hire, mentor, and grow top-tier builder talent. Live the “Always in Beta” mindset - build learners, not followers. Model extreme ownership, uncomfortable honesty, and clarity in chaos. Cultivate a team of self-managed, HAPPIER thinkers.

The ‘evlos’ mindset

This is the "how" behind your work. It’s a deep-seated drive to improve, discover, and own.
