Solutions Architect (Quantum-Secure Networks) - all genders

The Solutions Architect is the technical authority in front of customers and the person who brings projects over the line. The role exists to earn the technical win: translating customer requirements into credible, production-grade eQKD and QKaaS network designs, integrating quantum key delivery with classical security and telecom infrastructure, and giving conservative technical buyers the confidence to commit. 

It is also the field-to-R&D conduit — the patterns you see in the field shape the roadmap. You sit inside the deal team with Account Executives, supply Marketing with technically accurate product input, and give the GTM & Partnerships Manager the foundations for partner certification. 

• 6+ years in solutions architecture, technical pre-sales, or systems engineering for complex infrastructure, security, or networking products. 
• A strong command of enterprise networking and IT security architecture; working knowledge of cryptographic concepts and secure-communication design principles. 
• A proven ability to design and defend integration architectures in front of demanding technical buyers, and to simplify complexity for mixed business/technical audiences. 
• A track record delivering POCs and multi-party technical projects with integrators and customer engineering teams. 
• Exposure to critical infrastructure, telecom, or public-sector environments. 
• Fluent German and English. 
• Nice to have: familiarity with QKD / quantum-secure communications (or the ability to ramp fast on new physical-layer technology); experience integrating with carrier or datacenter network platforms (e.g. Cisco routing/optical, key-management systems); experience contributing to product roadmaps from field input.
