RAVL helps technologists accelerate their careers.

At RAVL, we connect strategy with execution, care deeply about the people we work with, and measure success by the lasting impact we leave behind. Our purpose is to build a team that puts real, sustainable business outcomes at the core of everything we do.

We’re here to leave our clients better than we found them, and to create a place where our people are proud to Build. Better.

As a Solutions Architect at RAVL, you’ll design and guide the delivery of end-to-end technical solutions that connect strategy to execution. You’ll bring deep technical breadth, consulting acumen, and a bias for clarity — shaping architectures that are scalable, secure, and practical. You’ll work closely with client stakeholders, engineering teams, and product leaders to translate vision into working systems that deliver visible business value.

What does success look like in this role?

Architect secure, scalable, and maintainable systems across cloud, application, and integration domains
Collaborate with engineering teams to design APIs, data flows, and infrastructure aligned with enterprise best practices
Assess existing architectures, identifying gaps and driving actionable modernization or optimization plans
Define and document architectural standards, patterns, and decision records for consistency and governance
Influence solution design through clarity, technical depth, and an understanding of real-world delivery trade-offs
Engage directly with clients to translate business needs into architectural blueprints and technology roadmaps
Collaborate with platform, data, and software teams to ensure seamless end-to-end design and implementation
At higher levels: lead multi-team solution delivery, mentor engineers, and shape technology direction across client engagements

Experience with integration patterns (APIs, messaging, event streaming) and security design (IAM, encryption, RBAC)
Ability to communicate architectural concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders clearly and credibly
