Role overview
Job description
The role Scale builds enterprise AI systems deployed into production. As a Staff Solutions Architect, you lead technical execution on the most complex and highest-value enterprise opportunities in your vertical, and you set the technical standard the rest of the team works to. You own an assigned set of strategic accounts and remain the senior technical relationship owner across them. You are also accountable for leverage beyond your own deals: the reference architectures, evaluation methodologies, and technical processes you build are adopted by other Solutions Architects, and the patterns you surface shape Scale's product direction. You work alongside the Account Executive (commercial owner), the Project Manager (delivery owner), and the Tech Lead (engineering lead for implementation). This is an individual contributor role with mentorship responsibility, not a people-management role.
