Pantheon is launching a Next.js hosting offering, and we’re looking for a Senior Solutions Architect to lead the initiative. This is a foundational role where you’ll define how Pantheon delivers Next.js solutions at scale. You’ll bridge our expertise in Drupal and WordPress with modern frontend frameworks, helping customers modernize their web architectures while building internal capabilities across the Professional Services team. You’ll combine hands-on technical implementation with strategic planning, guiding customer migrations, creating internal playbooks, and enabling the team to confidently deliver Next.js solutions. This role requires a balance of technical depth, consultative customer engagement, and the ability to operate in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment. Platform Launch & Enablement Define Pantheon-specific Next.js architecture patterns, playbooks, and reference implementations. Build reusable code templates, starter kits, and migration tools to streamline internal delivery. Establish standards for deployment, monitoring, and performance optimization on Pantheon infrastructure. Lead workshops and training sessions to upskill the Professional Services team. Create internal documentation, knowledge base articles, and enablement resources. Define Pantheon-specific Next.js architecture patterns, playbooks, and reference implementations.
