Department Focus:

The Solutions Engineering team is Deliverect's pre-sales technical function. We are the architects who translate the complex, high-volume needs of global QSR brands into integrated, scalable solutions using our cutting-edge multi-product platform. Focused on technical validation, solution design, and proof-of-concept creation, this team drives sales velocity by building the technical integrity necessary to win enterprise business and ensure alignment with Deliverect's long-term architectural standards.

Your Impact:

As the Head of Solutions Engineering in our Americas market you will operate as the team's Principal Solutions Architect and primary technical consultant (approx. 80% of time), personally driving the success of our largest, most strategic enterprise deals. The remaining 20% of your time will be dedicated to defining and scaling the Solutions Engineering function, including mentoring, process development, and team management.

Your personal focus will be on acting as the highest-level technical advisor for critical sales opportunities, focusing on architectural fit, gap analysis, and strategic advisory to ensure the successful adoption of the Deliverect platform. Your direct influence on our product roadmap, based on competitive intelligence from top-tier accounts, ensures Deliverect maintains its technical edge in the global market and sets our clients up for successful activation.

This is a fully remote eligible role, however Toronto based applicants are encouraged to work from our Downtown office 3 days per week.

Based on this analysis, design the optimal target-state architecture and integration patterns, ensuring solutions align with benchmarks for cost-efficiency, security, and resilience, and advise customers on modification and integration best practices.

• Highest Technical Escalation: Serve as the highest technical escalation point within the pre-sales cycle, providing expert technical leadership during high-stakes client meetings and complex objection handling.
