Responsibilities

• Embed with client engineering teams on-site and remotely to deliver working implementations of Thought Machine Vault products, from initial design through production readiness.
• Own the technical success of assigned client engagements, ensuring solutions work in practice.
• Collaborate with client architects, engineers, and programme leads to translate business requirements into technical delivery plans.
• Act as the technical point of contact for the client, building trust through competence and consistent delivery.
• Write production-quality code (primarily Python/Go) to build integrations, tooling, data pipelines, and contribute to core products and extensions.
• Debug, troubleshoot, and resolve complex technical issues across distributed systems, including databases, messaging systems, container orchestration, and cloud infrastructure.
• Design and deliver scalable solutions covering high availability, disaster recovery, capacity planning, and security in collaboration with client and internal teams.
• Contribute to internal tooling, frameworks, and reusable patterns that accelerate delivery across all FDE engagements.
• Support the Commercial team during presales by answering technical questions, running proof-of-concept implementations, and demonstrating feasibility.
• Advise clients on best practices for Vault implementation, including system design beyond Vault's boundaries.
• Serve as the voice of the client internally, channeling technical feedback, pain points, and feature requests to product and engineering teams.
• Identify patterns across engagements that can be turned into product improvements, documentation, or shared tooling.

Requirements

• Practical experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including deploying and operating workloads in production.
• Demonstrated ability to work directly with external clients or partners in a technical delivery capacity.
• Ability to explain complex systems to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
• Comfortable owning outcomes.
• Experience delivering technical projects end-to-end, understanding the process from design to production, including edge cases, rollback plans, and operability concerns.
• Familiarity with retail banking, payments, ledgers, or regulatory environments.
