Solutions Architect

Who you are

• 5+ years in a customer-facing technical role such as Solutions Architect, Technical Account Manager, Solutions Engineer, Customer Engineer, Implementation Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer or similar
• Experience supporting B2B SaaS products with API-first or data-centric integrations
• Strong familiarity with APIs, data workflows, and SQL—you’re comfortable reading and debugging requests/responses, exploring data, and collaborating closely with engineering teams
• Proven track record working with mid-market and enterprise customers, ideally including fintechs, financial institutions, or other regulated companies with complex integrations
• Comfortable owning a portfolio of accounts—prioritizing effectively, context-switching across customers, and managing multiple projects at once
• Excellent communicator who can translate between technical details and business impact for different audiences (engineers, product managers, risk/compliance, and executives)
• Problem solver with a bias toward action—you’re motivated by digging into ambiguous issues, finding root causes, and driving them to resolution
• Familiarity with identity verification, fraud, compliance, or onboarding workflows in regulated industries (e.g. banking, fintech, insurance)
• Early-stage startup experience owning documentation, cross-team enablement, and customer education

What the job involves

• We’re looking for a Solutions Architect to own the technical health, adoption, and growth of some of Middesk’s Mid Market and Scaled book of business
• In this role, you’ll work cross-functionally with Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering to ensure customers realize the full value of Middesk—from initial implementation through long-term partnership
• You’ll serve as a trusted technical advisor to customers: understanding their business, designing and guiding integrations, troubleshooting complex issues, and proactively identifying ways to improve performance, expand use cases, and reduce risk
• Beyond direct client impact, your expertise will influence Middesk’s product direction as you collaborate with cross-functional teams to shape our roadmap and GTM strategies
• Reporting to the Director of Solutions Engineering, this is a highly visible, customer-facing role in a high-growth, execution-driven environment
• We’re looking for someone equally comfortable diving into API logs and data workflows as they are presenting recommendations to senior stakeholders
• Own the technical relationship for key accounts by acting as the primary technical point of contact and building strong relationships with customer product, engineering, and account management teams
• Drive successful onboarding and implementation by partnering with Sales and Customer Success to transition new customers into production, from scoping and integration design to architecture review and go-live
• Ensure ongoing reliability and performance by monitoring account health, usage patterns, and key technical metrics, identifying risks early, and coordinating with internal teams to resolve issues quickly
• Become a product and domain expert by developing deep expertise in Middesk’s APIs, data products, and verification workflows to guide customers on best practices and new capabilities
• Troubleshoot and unblock complex problems by diving into logs, payloads, and data workflows to investigate issues, reproduce edge cases, and partner with Support and Engineering on durable fixes
• Advise on architecture and integrations by helping customers design scalable, resilient workflows and integrations that align with their compliance, risk, and operational needs, especially in high-volume or regulated environments
• Champion the voice of the customer internally by synthesizing feedback and feature requests and collaborating with Product, Engineering, and Design to influence the roadmap and improve customer experience
• Create and maintain technical enablement by contributing to documentation, implementation guides, runbooks, and reusable assets that help customers and internal teams move faster and more confidently
