Senior Solutions Architect

As a Solutions Architect, you make sure our customers' data gets into the Celonis Platform reliably, securely, and at scale, and that insights and actions flow back out into the systems and AI tools where work actually happens. You'll join our customer project teams as one of the first technical faces of Celonis. You'll work hands-on across the full integration toolkit: deploying out-of-the-box extractors, building custom API connectors in a low-code environment, writing code for push-based ingestion, connecting Celonis to customer lakehouses and LLMs, and configuring writebacks, SSO, and user provisioning. Part implementation consultant, part integration engineer, part trusted technical advisor, this role is ideal for someone early in their career who wants broad exposure to enterprise architecture and modern data and AI integration patterns.

Responsibilities

Implement standard extractors, installing, configuring, and troubleshooting Celonis out-of-the-box extractors in customer landscapes (SAP ECC and S/4HANA, JDBC-based databases, cloud applications such as Salesforce and ServiceNow); Build custom API connectors with Celonis Extractor Builder for REST or SOAP sources, handling authentication, pagination, rate limits, and delta loads; Enable push-based ingestion by helping customers design and develop scripts and pipelines (typically in Python) that push data via the Data Ingestion API; Connect to the lakehouse by setting up zero-copy data sharing with platforms such as Databricks and Microsoft Fabric, including Delta Sharing configuration, access controls, and data freshness; Unblock infrastructure by working through on-premise agent deployments, networking, proxies, firewalls, certificates, and service-account permissions with customer IT teams; Keep pipelines healthy by tuning extraction schedules, monitoring pipeline health, and resolving data load failures; Configure Action Flows and other integration patterns that write back to customer systems; Connect Celonis to customer LLMs and AI agents through MCP (Model Context Protocol); Configure SSO (SAML, OIDC) and SCIM-based user and group provisioning; Support customer security, privacy, and compliance reviews; Run technical discovery, document integration architectures, and estimate effort; Serve as technical point of contact for customer IT, data, and security stakeholders; Escalate product gaps and bugs and share field feedback; Contribute reusable connector templates, scripts, runbooks, and best-practice documentation

Requirements

5+ years of experience in a technical, customer-facing role such as solutions engineering, integration or implementation consulting, data engineering, or technical consulting; Hands-on experience with REST APIs and common authentication patterns (OAuth 2.0, API keys, tokens); comfort using tools like Postman to explore and test APIs; Solid programming skills in Python (or a similar language) and strong SQL skills; Working knowledge of data pipelines and ETL/ELT concepts, including incremental loads, scheduling, and handling large data volumes; Familiarity with identity and access management concepts such as SSO (SAML/OIDC) and SCIM provisioning; A basic understanding of networking and security fundamentals (TLS and certificates, proxies, firewalls, VPNs); Excellent communication and storytelling across written, verbal, and slide formats, tailored to technical and executive audiences; Fluency in English and German; Curiosity, ownership, and a bias toward solving problems hands-on; A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Nice to have
