What It’s Like to Work Here:

YipitData isn’t a place for coasting—it’s a launchpad for ambitious, impact-driven professionals.

From day one, you’ll take the lead on meaningful work, accelerate your growth, and gain exposure that shapes careers.

Why Top Talent Chooses YipitData:

• Ownership That Matters: You’ll lead high-impact projects with real business outcomes
• Rapid Growth: We compress years of learning into months
• Merit Over Titles: Trust and responsibility are earned through execution, not tenure
• Velocity with Purpose: We move fast, support each other, and aim high—always with purpose and intention

If your ambition is matched by your work ethic—and you're hungry for a place where growth, impact, and ownership are the norm—YipitData might be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

About The Role:

You’ll be the technical front door for integrations—joining customer calls with Sales, scoping solutions with Engineering, and establishing lightweight audit practices so our integrations remain reliable as we scale. You’ll translate varied customer workflows into clear designs, de-risking deals and accelerating time-to-go-live. You will play a key role in both accelerating sales and driving product development.

This is a remote-friendly opportunity that can sit in NYC (where our headquarters are located), one of our office hubs (Austin, Miami, Denver, Mountain View, or Seattle), or anywhere else in the US. However, depending upon where the remote work is performed, income could be subject to New York State tax withholding. 

We expect standard US work hours.

As Our Solutions Architect, Integrations, You Will:

• Be the lead technical voice for sales: Join sales calls to whiteboard architectures, answer integration questions with understanding and empathy, and build confidence with technical and business stakeholders.
• Scope new integrations end-to-end (no coding): Define requirements, data flows, and acceptance criteria; produce crisp handoffs to Engineering and clear updates to Sales/Customer teams.
• Design for reliability and security: Specify auth patterns, retries/idempotency, rate-limit strategies, data mapping, and observability expectations.
• Create leverage: Build reference architectures, scoping templates, and FAQs to make future engagements faster and more consistent.

You Are Likely To Succeed If:

• Must have: 2–4+ years as an IC in Solutions Architecture / Sales Engineering / Integration Consulting at a B2B SaaS company, operating in fast-paced, customer-facing environments.
• Must have: Proven sales presence—comfortable leading discovery and whiteboarding on sales calls, answering technical integration questions, and translating requirements into clear scopes and timelines.
• Must have: Demonstrated ownership of API-based integrations end-to-end (discovery → scope → design → engineering handoff → acceptance) without writing code.
• Must have: Strong grasp of integration fundamentals: REST/GraphQL, webhooks, OAuth2/OIDC/SAML SSO, pagination/rate limits, retries/idempotency, batching vs. event-driven, and data mapping.
• Must have: Ability to read and reason about technical artifacts (API docs, OpenAPI/Swagger, JSON payloads, error logs) and validate assumptions with tools like Postman/Insomnia—again, no coding required.
• Must have: Excellent written deliverables: solution design docs and acceptance criteria; crisp handoffs to Engineering and clear status communications to Sales/Customer stakeholders to ensure great collaboration and understanding.
• Must have: High EQ and stakeholder management—balances Sales urgency with Engineering feasibility; credible with both technical (IT/CTO) and business (Finance/Procurement) buyers.
• Nice to have: Direct experience integrating enterprise-grade ERPs (e.g., Oracle Fusion Cloud, Workday).
• Nice to have: Familiarity with Azure AD/Entra ID (SSO/SAML/OIDC, SCIM) and GCP/Azure services relevant to integrations.
• Nice to have: Exposure to procurement/finance stacks: Coupa/Ariba (P2P), CLM (Ironclad/SpotDraft), Intake (Zip), ITSM (ServiceNow/Jira), and data warehouses (Snowflake/BigQuery).
• Nice to have: Experience partnering with engineers to size work, create milestones, and define SLIs/SLOs for integrations.
• Nice to have: RFP/security questionnaire and SOC 2–minded design experience (least privilege, PII handling, secrets rotation, vendor risk).
• Nice to have: Built repeatable integration templates/playbooks and sales enablement assets (reference architectures, FAQs, scoping calculators).
• Nice to have: Startup/high-growth background serving mid-market and enterprise customers; able to juggle multiple deals/projects with predictable follow-through.
