About the team
The Solutions Architecture team works with our largest, most complex users to understand their technical requirements and map those to Stripe technology.
As a Solutions Architect, you will partner with Sales to technically qualify new business opportunities, demonstrate the art of the possible with the Stripe Platform, and design robust technical solutions to enable payment transactions, manage money movements and simplify financial operational processes.
What you’ll do
You are an experienced technologist with a blend of technical depth and strong business consulting skills. You can write code, but prefer to spend your time working with users to create Stripe solutions to support customer business objectives in complex, mission critical environments. You will think strategically about the art of the possible for the user’s business, and be able to clearly articulate that in a way that informs and builds confidence in Stripe’s technology.
You should be able to engage and motivate cross-functionally both internally and within our customer’s organisations at all levels, from Cx to Product Engineering. You will have a track record of delivering exceptional customer results as part of a pre-sales team, but a history of deep technical work that gives you the ability to be credible with any audience.
Responsibilities Engage with Chief Technical Officers, engineering leads, and other technical leads at key users to share technology roadmaps, demonstrate the latest innovations, and define a solution strategy to solve problems.
Lead technical discussions and solution deep dives with users on the value Stripe can provide to them.
Serve as an advocate for your customers internally, to ensure their needs are represented with product engineering and to influence product direction and priorities.
Plan and participate in quarterly business reviews with your users, identify new opportunities and collaborate on detailed account planning with account teams
Create technical content (reference architectures, demos, etc.) to share with users as well as speak as a thought leader at industry conferences.

Hybrid work at Stripe
This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).
In-office expectations Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams. Working remotely at Stripe A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently live or plan to live. Pay and benefits
