Job Description
The Solution Architect will provide selling capabilities, technical expertise, and project management skills to prospective accounts during pre-sales and post-sales phases of their development.
Responsibilities will include:
- An assessment of Terracotta product fit to the customer's architecture and needs,
- Managing relations with software architects, developers, operational personnel and technology leadership (CTO, CIO, Directors etc.) within prospect organizations,
- Providing assistance to prospects with installation, integration and tuning of the integrated-solution.
- Leading the completion of technical questions on RFPs and ensuring that the technology is positioned well within the consuming organization.
- Providing feedback on product features and priorities to the product management and core-engineering team.
- Active engagement on post-sale accounts to help them get to deployment
- Building integrations based on core-Terracotta technology to popular Open Source Frameworks and blogging about them

Requirements for the Solution Architect position:
- Education:

o Working knowledge of Database architectures, SQL and ability to interpret ERDs and other relational specifications
o Installation, configuration, and management of commercial and open-source Java application servers such as BEA-WebLogic, IBM-Websphere, Tomcat, Resin, Jetty, JBoss, Glassfish etc.
o Basic scripting skills and knowledge of benchmarks, standards.
o Solaris and/or Linux Administration, knowledge of the Networking tier is a plus.
- Other Skills:
o Accountability and a strong customer service ethos are essential prerequisites for this critical role. An ability to achieve results while operating independently with minimal guidance is a must.
o Travel will be required 25-40% of the time depending on prospect activity.
o Good handle on selling approaches and presentation of new technical concepts effectively to core Engineers and Engineering Management alike.
o Ability to connect use of a technology to customer economic benefit.
o Excellent written and oral communications with good presentation skills.
