Description

The Solution Architect is responsible for partnering with our clients and delivery teams to define, develop, and implement business solutions. The architect may operate as a project resource to a client delivery team, as a project resource on Bolt Data delivery team, or as a primary delivery resource accountable for end-to-end solution delivery. Once development begins, the Solution Architect’s involvement will include a combination of hands-on configuration and oversight of work assigned to other team members and will continue throughout the build and testing phases to ensure the solution comes together as designed.

The Solution Architect is self-directed, can work with limited management direction and will exercise considerable judgment in determining technical objectives of an assignment.
