system1 - Principal Solutions Architect, API's
Requirements
• Roughly 30% solutions architect, 30% developer, 25% technical seller, 15% geospatial detective. • You build fast. REST APIs, JSON, Postman or curl, Python or JavaScript, messy real-world data. You can turn an API into a working proof in hours. • You investigate. When a geocode lands in the wrong place, you dig in rather than explain it away. • You have range. Deep with a developer in the morning, clear with a VP in the afternoon. • You care whether it closes. You know what has to happen technically for a deal to move, and you make it happen. • You default to action. "Send me the data. I'll test it." • Experience with Google Maps Platform, Mapbox, ESRI, HERE, TomTom or similar location platforms a strong plus.
Responsibilities
• Run technical discovery with engineering leaders: their architecture, their workflows, what they need to see to say yes. • Build proofs with real customer addresses, routes and datasets across geocoding, routing, optimization, search, address validation and maps. Not slideware. • Win bakeoffs against Google Maps, Mapbox and others, with data rather than assertions. • Make switching easy: migration guides, code samples and tools that lower the cost of leaving an incumbent. • Own the technical win through customer sign-off and a clean handoff to implementation. • Build what gets reused: demos, migration kits and evaluation frameworks that make the next 100 deals easier than the first.
Benefits
• First hire in the function, with the mandate and runway to define how it works. • Compensation tied directly to API revenue, with upside above plan. • A brand nearly everyone knows, inside a B2B business that is still early. Small team, direct access, fast decisions. • On-target earnings of $280,000 to $325,000, base plus variable tied to API sales performance, with accelerators above plan • The U.S. base salary range for this full-time position is $210,000 - 243,000 + bonus + equity + benefits.
