A leading global IT company is seeking a Technical Solutions Designer on behalf of a prominent client based in Makati.

This role offers you the unique opportunity to bridge the gap between business needs and technical execution, acting as the trusted technical problem solver for enterprise clients. You will be empowered to translate complex requirements into actionable development specifications, working closely with diverse teams across product, network, IT, field services, and commercial operations. The organisation values your deep backend engineering expertise and encourages you to leverage your experience in solution design, product ownership, or technical leadership. With flexible working opportunities and a supportive environment that fosters knowledge sharing and professional growth, this position is ideal for those who thrive in collaborative settings and enjoy engaging directly with clients to deliver impactful solutions.

  • You will work onsite with major enterprise partners, becoming their go-to technical contact and ensuring seamless communication between client teams and global development resources.
  • Your role will involve translating business requirements into detailed technical specifications, supporting development teams through the build process, and setting clear expectations with stakeholders.
  • The organisation provides comprehensive training opportunities and values inclusive collaboration, making it an excellent place for professionals eager to expand their skills while contributing to high-impact projects.

What you'll do:

As a Technical Solutions Designer you will immerse yourself in the day-to-day operations of enterprise clients by serving as their dependable technical advisor. Your responsibilities will span from conducting workshops that clarify business requirements to drafting intricate development specifications that guide global teams. You will collaborate extensively across multiple departments—product management, network operations, IT infrastructure, field services, and commercial strategy—to ensure every solution is tailored precisely to client needs. By leveraging your backend engineering background and solution design expertise, you will diagnose issues at their core and propose effective resolutions using existing products or custom-designed enhancements. Your ability to communicate complex concepts clearly will be essential as you set expectations with stakeholders and support developers during implementation. Success in this role hinges on your capacity to balance technical depth with interpersonal sensitivity while maintaining a commitment to delivering reliable outcomes.

  • Engage directly with client teams across product, network, IT, field services, and commercial departments to understand their technical challenges and act as their primary point of contact.
  • Analyse root causes of client problems and resolve them using existing products and configurations whenever possible, ensuring efficient use of available resources.
  • Design end-to-end solutions when changes are required, covering backend services, applications, network provisioning, devices, and firmware to meet evolving client needs.
  • Draft comprehensive technical specifications for internal development teams including data models, API contracts, sequence diagrams, state diagrams, integration points, and error handling protocols.
  • Evaluate the impact of proposed changes on current systems by considering dependencies, migrations, backwards compatibility issues, and rollout strategies.
  • Collaborate with global development and product teams to prioritise feature builds and provide ongoing support throughout the implementation phase.
  • Advocate for simpler or more robust approaches when requests can be fulfilled more efficiently or reliably than initially proposed.
  • Set transparent expectations with clients regarding feasibility, timelines, trade-offs, and risks by explaining designs in accessible terms for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Flag potential risks early in the process to ensure proactive management of project outcomes.

What you bring:

To excel as a Technical Solutions Designer you will bring a wealth of proven experience from backend software engineering roles where your attention to detail has consistently delivered reliable results. Your journey may have taken you from coding complex systems into positions where you shaped product direction or led solution design efforts. You possess strong inter-personal skills that enable you to connect with diverse stakeholders—from developers dissecting data models to commercial leaders seeking clarity on timelines. Your familiarity with system architecture allows you to navigate APIs and integrations confidently while your workshop facilitation skills foster consensus among cross-functional teams. If you have worked within telco environments or leveraged AI tools for rapid prototyping that would further enhance your suitability for this role. Above all else your commitment to collaborative problem-solving ensures every challenge is met with empathy and thoroughness.

  • At least five years of hands-on experience in software engineering roles focused on backend systems where you have demonstrated your dependability in delivering robust solutions.
  • Minimum two years spent in solution design, product ownership or technical lead positions where you have translated business requirements into actionable development plans.
  • Proven track record of writing detailed technical designs that serve as direct blueprints for development teams implementing new features or system changes.
  • Comprehensive understanding of system architecture including RESTful APIs, event-driven integrations, data modelling techniques, distributed systems design principles.
  • Comfort reading codebases and reasoning about implementation trade-offs to ensure optimal performance and maintainability.
  • Experience collaborating with large enterprise clients involving complex stakeholder groups where you have set clear expectations regarding project scope and delivery timelines.
  • Confident facilitating workshops that bring together both technical specialists and non-technical participants to align on project goals and solutions.
  • Ability to take ownership of problems from initial diagnosis through deployment stages with minimal supervision while maintaining open lines of communication.
  • Nice to have: Familiarity with telco/MVNO platforms such as provisioning systems (BSS/OSS), billing processes; exposure to 5G/fixed wireless technologies; experience with CPE device firmware or IoT solutions.
  • Nice to have: Proficiency using AI tools for prototyping ideas or building testable solutions independently.
