The Senior Lead Field Architect is a senior, strategic overlay responsible for the technical "North Star" of our most high-stakes deal cycles. Unlike the Technical Solutions Engineer (TSE), who builds specific assets, the FA owns the end-to-end technical strategy, ensuring that the proposed solution is technically sound, secure, and aligned with the prospect's multi-year digital transformation roadmap.
WHAT YOU'LL DO Enterprise Design Authority: Lead high-level "Future State" architecture workshops, mapping how Braze interacts with the broader enterprise stack (e.g., Snowflake, Salesforce, Adobe, etc.). Technical Stakeholder Management: Navigate complex technical committees and address concerns from Information Security, Data Governance, and Enterprise Architecture teams. Strategic Gap Analysis: Identify potential technical blockers early in the sales cycle and design creative, scalable workarounds that do not compromise platform stability. Standardization & Governance: Develop best-practice blueprints for common enterprise scenarios (e.g., multi-instance global deployments) to be reused across the SolCon org.
WHO YOU ARE Beyond baseline API and SDK proficiency, a Field Architect must possess: Advanced System Design: Expertise in designing distributed systems and understanding the trade-offs between various integration methods (Batch vs. Real-time vs. Streaming). Data Strategy & Governance: Deep knowledge of how data is mastered, cleansed, and moved across an enterprise, including a strong grasp of Zero-Copy and Cloud Data Sharing paradigms. Change Management Consulting: The ability to advise prospects on the organizational changes required to support a modern engagement platform (e.g., Center of Excellence setup). Competitive Intelligence: A strategic understanding of the architectural weaknesses of legacy Marketing Clouds and how to position Braze as a modern alternative. For candidates based in the United States, the pay range for this position at the start of employment is expected to be between $166,000 and $248,000/year, with an expected On Target Earnings (OTE) between $207,000 and $310,000/year (including
bonus or commission). Your exact offer may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. In addition to cash
compensation, this role qualifies for a comprehensive Total Rewards package that includes equity grants of restricted stock (RSUs) so that you will own a piece of our company. #LI-Hybrid WHAT WE OFFER Braze

To help our recruitment teams focus on what matters most — the person behind each application — we use AI-assisted tools at certain stages of our recruitment process.

qualifications in your application materials to help with screening and prioritizing candidates. Such screening may amount to a form of solely automated decision-making. We also use AI for administrative support, like scheduling and recording interviews and summarizing interview notes. Our recruiting teams remain responsible for all hiring decisions and are involved throughout the process. Depending on where you are located, you may have the right to request further information about how AI is used in our recruitment process, to opt out of AI-assisted review, to request a manual review of any decision made or to contest a decision.
