Remote Pro Ai provides vetted Solutions Architects who bridge business requirements and technical design across complex, multi-vendor landscapes. They produce solution architectures, integration designs and non-functional requirements, evaluate build-or-buy options objectively, and lead design reviews, PoCs and architecture decision records.
Your Solutions Architect produces solution architectures, integration designs and NFR specifications, and leads design reviews, PoCs and architecture decision records. Typical stack: C4, ArchiMate, TOGAF, Azure / AWS services and enterprise integration patterns.
RFP-driven government programmes and enterprise transformations in the Gulf involve many vendors, and a weak solution design surfaces late, as integration failures and change requests. Buyers increasingly expect a credible architecture before contract award, which keeps experienced solutions architects in demand on both client and vendor sides.

This role is offered at Senior and Lead only. We never place junior profiles. A practice lead confirms each specialist’s level through a live technical assessment and reference checks, so the band on your quotation reflects scope the person has already delivered rather than a job title on a CV.
Solution architecture documents in C4 or ArchiMate, integration designs, non-functional requirements for performance, security and availability, architecture decision records and PoC plans. These give vendors, engineers and approvers a shared, testable picture of what will be built and why. Each artefact is reviewed with your architects before sign-off.
An enterprise architect shapes the overall technology landscape and standards. A Solutions Architect designs a specific solution within that landscape, making concrete technology choices and ensuring the design can be delivered on time and budget. Large programmes often need one enterprise architect and several solutions architects.
Yes. Architects write credible technical sections for RFP responses or, on the buyer side, define technical requirements and evaluate vendor designs objectively. Both rely on the same skill: judging whether a design will meet requirements at acceptable cost and risk.
Yes. Architects lead design reviews as delivery progresses, resolve decisions as new constraints appear and keep decision records current. Staying close to delivery prevents the common gap between the approved design and what actually goes live. They also brief new squad members on the design’s key decisions.
