Presales Solutions Architect - Mendix Private Platform (Specialist)

Presales Solution Architect – Mendix Private Platform (Specialist) 

About the Role 

We are looking for a specialist Presales Solution Architect to help organizations adopt Mendix low-code development on Private Mendix Platform — Mendix's fully self-managed platform for customers who need to run the complete development and deployment lifecycle inside their own Kubernetes or OpenShift environment, including air-gapped and sovereign deployments. 

This role sits at the intersection of application platform and infrastructure. You will partner with prospects, customers, sales teams, and partners in regulated and security-conscious industries — government, defense, financial services, healthcare, and critical infrastructure — to demonstrate how Mendix and Private Mendix Platform deliver rapid application development without compromising on data residency, compliance, or operational control. You will lead technical discovery, architect deployment topologies, build proof-of-concepts, and act as a trusted advisor throughout the customer journey. 

What You'll Do 

Solution Architecture & Customer Engagement 

• Lead technical discovery sessions to understand customer challenges, infrastructure constraints, security requirements, and modernization initiatives. 

• Design end-to-end solution and deployment architectures for Private Mendix Platform on customer-managed Kubernetes or OpenShift — including cluster topology, PostgreSQL databases, file storage, container registries, ingress/TLS, and namespace strategy. 

• Guide customers through security and compliance conversations: FIPS-compliant encryption, secret management (AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault), SSO/IdP integration (OIDC and SAML), and control frameworks such as NIST 800-53. 

• Conduct technical workshops, architecture sessions, and executive briefings; serve as a trusted advisor throughout the sales cycle. 

Demonstrations & Proof of Concepts 

• Deliver compelling business and technical demonstrations of Mendix application development and the Private Mendix Platform portal — project management, private Marketplace, CI/CD, and governance capabilities. 

• Stand up proof-of-concept and pilot environments: install and configure the Mendix Operator, Private Cloud License Manager (PCLM), and optional components such as webhooks (Svix), the Build agent, PDF document generation, and Maia AI-assisted ap
