About the team
The Merchant Services team partners with our clients to realise their full potential through the adoption of Airwallex products that drive their growth and success. We influence revenue growth across our entire product portfolio and collaborate with sales, strategy, product, and engineering teams to provide the best experience for our most valued customers. Our team works alongside commercial teams throughout the pre-sales, solution design, and API integration stages, serving as the single technical point of contact and trusted advisor for our clients. We are committed to empowering businesses with the tools our clients need to succeed in a dynamic market
What you’ll do
As a Solutions Architect you will own the technical pre-sales of complex client engagements that bring our global payments and financial products to life for enterprise partners, shopping carts, and payment gateways. You will turn agreed business requirements into solution designs and actionable plans, orchestrating cross-functional teams and external stakeholders to deliver on time, on scope, and to a high quality bar. You’ll provide technical trust, ensuring that every phase from pre‑sales through go‑live and early optimisation runs smoothly.
This role can be based in SF, NYC, Seattle or Toronto (3 days in office), with implementation coverage across the US.
Responsibilities:
Act as a trusted technical advisor to customers and internal teams on high-value implementations and expansions, shaping integration approaches, system configuration, and overall solution design.
Partner with implementation and account management teams to translate customer requirements into scalable architectures.
Work with sales teams on technical discovery to understand customer systems, data flows, and workflows, and recommend a best-fit integration blueprint, including when and how to leverage APIs and third-party connectors.
Work hands-on with customers to troubleshoot integration hurdles and guide them through complex configuration decisions, focusing on designing robust, maintainable implementations rather than writing code directly.
Create and maintain internal documentation, playbooks, and lightweight tooling that make it easier for the wider team to support integration-heavy use cases at scale.
Channel customer pain points and integration feedback into Product and Engineering, influencing the roadmap and prioritisation of features that materially improve implementation outcomes.

6-10 years of experience in technical pre-sales, managing complex, multi‑stakeholder technology or financial services implementations.

Proven track record of successfully delivering cross‑functional projects with stakeholders from diverse backgrounds and job functions, including C‑level executives, technical teams, and operations.
Exceptional written and verbal communication and presentation skills, including the ability to lead steering meetings, write clear status updates, and influence decisions without direct authority.

Solutions Architect Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a solutions architect in Washington?
Washington does not require a state-issued license to work as a solutions architect, so the path runs through education and vendor credentials. Most employers expect a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or engineering, followed by several years in a hands-on technical role such as systems engineer or cloud engineer. Industry certifications from AWS, Microsoft, or Google carry significant weight with Washington employers and are often listed as requirements in job postings.
Which companies hire solutions architects in Washington?
Employers hiring solutions architects in Washington right now include Amazon Web Services, Amazon, and Molex, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Washington's deep concentration of cloud computing, defense contracting, and enterprise software firms means demand for solutions architects is spread across both large technology headquarters and federal government contractors based in the greater Seattle and Puget Sound corridor.
Which Washington cities have the most solutions architect jobs?
Seattle, Bellevue, and Olympia account for the largest share of solutions architect openings in Washington. Seattle and Bellevue dominate because of the density of cloud, software, and enterprise technology employers headquartered there, while Redmond draws heavily from Microsoft's large campus and its extended partner ecosystem, making even smaller suburban markets around it active hiring zones for solutions architects.
Are there remote solutions architect jobs in Washington?
Yes, and more than most technical fields. About 67% of solutions architect openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how much of the role involves design work, stakeholder calls, and documentation rather than physical infrastructure. The portions of the role most commonly done remotely are architecture reviews, client discovery sessions, and proposal development, while on-site presence is more common during initial deployment phases.
How can I get hired as a solutions architect in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving laterally from a related technical role such as systems administrator, cloud engineer, or network engineer, then building a portfolio of architecture diagrams and solution designs that demonstrate your thinking. Large Washington employers like Microsoft and Amazon offer associate-level cloud and infrastructure programs, and obtaining an entry-level cloud certification through AWS or Azure signals readiness to hiring managers. Targeting smaller Washington technology firms or defense contractors for a first solutions architect title is often more accessible than starting at a major headquarters.
Where can I find and apply to solutions architect jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to solutions architect jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current Washington openings across industries and experience levels. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly to the ones that match.
