THE TEAM
Field Architecture at Braze is a pre-sales team focused on our highest-stakes opportunities. We engage early, consulting companies on how to design and build next-generation solutions with Braze. We work directly with their technical leadership: centers of excellence, architecture and engineering teams, and the C-suite. Our goal is to help these stakeholders sign off with confidence that a proposed North Star architecture will hold up in production. We build with the modern composable stack (data warehouses, CDPs, streaming, cloud infrastructure, AI), and what we build for one deal becomes a reusable pattern for the wider field. The team sits in the Solutions organization, led by the Head of Field Architecture for AMER.
THE ROLE
The Senior Lead Field Architect works as an overlay to our Braze account teams. You join a deal as an added technical leader, present in the room and speaking with authority on all things enterprise architecture and integration. Engagements range in size and shape: sometimes owning a North Star architecture end to end, from the first workshop through sign-off and BRD handoff, other times stepping in for a targeted conversation, like a warehouse integration or data strategy question. Throughout, you partner closely with the Solutions Consultant and Account Executive leading the deal.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
• Enterprise Architecture and Design: Lead high-level "Future State" architecture workshops, mapping how Braze interacts with the broader enterprise stack (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, S3 and other blob storage, Salesforce, Adobe)
• Technical Stakeholder Management: Navigate complex technical committees and address concerns from Architecture, Engineering, Information Security, Data Governance, and Systems Integration teams
• Gap Analysis: Identify potential technical blockers early in the sales cycle and design creative, scalable workarounds that do not compromise
