Job Summary
Centric Software is seeking a Technical Solutions Architect to join our global Planning & Pricing team. This is a non-customer-facing role focused on enabling presales and delivery teams by designing, building, and optimizing the technical components of our planning solution. You’ll be a critical behind-the-scenes force, translating opportunity requirements into scalable configurations, creating demo environments, and helping our go-to-market teams shine.
Ideal for someone coming from post-sales, delivery, or implementation who enjoys deep technical work, this role is all about building from the inside—no early-morning customer calls or presentations required. Our Planning platform is first-generation and evolving, so we need someone who’s both resourceful and excited about crafting solutions in a dynamic, high-growth environment.
You’ll be part of a global team of passionate problem-solvers supporting major transformation projects across the fashion and retail industries.

- Offer insights into technical gaps and recommend enhancements for future product development
