Exelab is a technology partner for enterprise companies, specializing in custom digital applications that enhance customer engagement, streamline business processes, and enable data-driven decision-making.
We are a HubSpot Elite partner, Twilio Gold partner, and AWS partner. We work with leading brands to deliver scalable, high-performance solutions tailored to their needs — going beyond execution to create measurable value across CRM, marketing automation, AI-driven analytics, and customer experience platforms.
We don't sell off-the-shelf products: we build custom solutions, and we treat every client engagement as a real product cycle — with an owner, a budget, a release date, and someone accountable if it goes wrong. AI-assisted engineering is not a side tool at Exelab: it is how we deliver.
The Solution Architect is that owner.
This is not a role that receives requirements and implements them. It is the person who owns the product: its quality, its budget, its timeline, and the decision to ship. You are a senior engineer who stays hands-on in the codebase, but what you are measured on is the outcome of the product you own — not the volume of code you write.
You work in a duo with a business-side counterpart who owns the solution — the idea and the business outcome it must produce — and holds the day-to-day presence with the client. The product is yours. That split is deliberate: the person accountable for delivery is never the person absorbing client pressure. You are peers, with distinct and explicit accountabilities, and the partnership between you is what makes our engagements work.
You are in from the estimate. You are involved before the deal is closed, because you will be held to the number. You do not inherit a budget somebody else committed to.
You own budget and timeline. A Project Manager monitors and escalates; they do not govern them for you. You do.
You press the red button. Production release is approved by whoever answers for the product. That's you.
You never work to requirements. If a build satisfies every requirement and delivers no value, that is a conversation you are part of — not one you sit out because "the spec said so".
You lead the extended team. Specialists (HubSpot, additional devs) plug in on demand; you decide when and how. On larger engagements you are the primary builder inside a broader team.
Our stack is polyglot by design: NodeJS and Python are both first-class backend languages. Python in particular plays a central role across data integrations, automations, and AI/ML workflows.
"7+ years in software development with real end-to-end delivery ownership; answers for scope, quality, budget and release date, from the estimate to the decision to ship; strong product judgment — trade-offs, readiness calls, value over completeness; fluent in NodeJS, Python, React/TypeScript, and AWS with CDK; advanced practitioner of AI-assisted engineering; thrives as a peer alongside a business-side counterpart, with distinct and explicit accountabilities."
