Stitch is the global leader in helping brands drive CRM performance through Braze and Databricks. We work with Fortune 1000 brands to design and execute martech-driven solutions and lifecycle marketing strategies that drive meaningful outcomes. Our fast-growing team spans the US, UK, and Canada.
We’re actively building the best customer relationship marketing (CRM) consultancy in the world. Not the biggest—the best. We’re looking for teammates who are energized by this challenge.
About This Role
As a Solution Architect at Stitch, you'll be responsible for gathering and analyzing technical requirements to ensure seamless integration of Braze and partner technologies within our clients’ marketing technology stacks. You'll develop detailed functional design specifications, outlining workflows and user journeys that align with business goals. You'll also design and implement scalable, end-to-end solutions that support personalized customer experiences, managing complex data structures, user attributes, and event tracking. Additionally, you'll leverage Braze’s segmentation tools to create dynamic audience segments, while crafting multi-channel campaign flows using Braze’s Canvas tool to drive customer engagement through automated messaging and real-time interactions.
What You’ll Do
- Collaborate with other Stitchers on the Delivery team, including Business Strategists, Marketing Strategist, and Technical Producers (email developers) to gather and analyze technical requirements, ensuring Braze and partner technologies are optimally configured within the customer’s existing martech stack
- Provide detailed documentation, define integration points, and ensure seamless data flow across platforms.
- Develop comprehensive functional design specifications that outline how Braze’s features will support the customer's business goals. This includes defining workflows, user journeys, and business rules to deliver an efficient and scalable solution
- Design and implement end-to-end solutions that bridge the gap between business objectives and technical execution. You'll ensure the architecture is robust, scalable, and tailored to meet specific customer needs while integrating seamlessly with the broader technology ecosystem

- Effectively manage your time to achieve quarterly billable hour targets
- Stay informed about the latest advancements in Braze and its technology integration partners, as well as other relevant technologies in the marketing technology space by earning and maintaining a minimum of 3 Braze certifications, including the Braze Digital Strategist certification

This means that you are confident meeting with our clients and bringing a strong point of view to them around best practices and creative solutions. You approach your clients’ needs with curiosity and ask questions to develop a deeper understanding of how Stitch can best serve them
- You show up to every meeting with our clients and other Stitchers prepared and engaged. Every point of communication - Slack, email, Zoom meeting, or in-person meeting - is an opportunity to impress our clients. You are responsive and work with a sense of urgency
- You consistently meet deadlines. We know, we know, this seems obvious! But it’s important. We are a professional services business, so our success depends on the satisfaction of our clients. Meeting deadlines gives the Stitchers you’re collaborating with enough time to complete the tasks that are dependent on your work and ensures that our clients are successful
- You manage your weekly schedule well to consistently meet Stitch’s broader quarterly billable targets. You’ll be juggling a variety of activities during the week, including heads-down coding, client meetings, Stitch office hours, pursuing certifications, and time-tracking.
