About the Role

Most pre-sales roles ask you to support a deal. This one asks you to help create it and drive it to closure.

As a Solutions Architect at CAST, you will operate as a frontline revenue contributor, working in close partnership with multiple SVP Sales leaders across North America to shape, advance, and close complex enterprise opportunities.

You will engage with Fortune 500 organizations, especially in BFSI, while also operating across a broader ecosystem including CSPs, GSIs, and advisory partners. These are high-impact, multi-stakeholder environments where technical insight must translate into strategic decisions.

You won’t wait for fully qualified opportunities. Instead, you will engage early, help frame the problem, and drive the technical and business narrative across multiple strategic deals simultaneously, aligned with sales leadership priorities.

You’ll work on critical transformation topics such as AI adoption, Graph-based analysis, and large-scale application architecture modernization, translating CAST insights into business urgency and deal momentum.

At CAST, Solutions Engineers don’t just explain the platform, they change how clients understand their software, uncover hidden risks and opportunities, and help drive decisions at the highest levels.
