About this role
We are looking for a Configuration Specialist who brings strong experience with sophisticated, configuration driven enterprise platforms and understands how client requirements, platform build, and longterm scalability intersect!
This role is ideal for someone who has worked on client implementations, platform onboarding, or transformation programs. It suits those who want to apply that experience closer to engineering and product decision making! We contribute to maintaining configuration as a powerful enabler of flexibility — without it becoming a source of instability, technical debt, or upgrade risk.
About the role

You will work closely with engineering, product, and client facing teams, bringing real world implementation insight into platform invent and delivery. Your work will help ensure the platform can support continuous improvement and upgrades while maintaining stability, quality, and predictability.
Key Responsibilities
Define and maintain standard configuration patterns across a large scale enterprise platform
Help distinguish when requirements should be addressed through configuration, customization, or code
Partner with engineering teams during develop and delivery to ensure new features are configurable, scalable, and upgrade ready
Bring client and implementation experience into architectural and design discussions
Identify recurring client needs and help convert tailored solutions into repeatable, standardized capabilities
Support an operating model where clients can remain on current platform versions with minimal disruption
Reduce configuration drift and longterm complexity through consistency and automation
Ensure configuration changes follow appropriate quality, testing, and change controls
About you
Experience working with enterprise or platform based systems where configuration is a core concept
Hands on experience handling client specific configurations at scale
Background in client implementations, client integration, or change initiatives
Ability to translate client requirements into standardized, scalable solutions
Experience with SaaS or continuous delivery platform models
Exposure to automation, tooling, or data driven analysis
Familiarity with software release cycles, testing practices, or platform modernization initiatives
Experience collaborating with engineering and/or product teams
Strong analytical skills and comfort operating in sophisticated, highly governed environments
Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts to diverse audiences
