Senior Solution Architect

Senior Solution Architects at AvidXchange are senior technical leaders who drive architectural direction and enable technical transformation across product and engineering teams. This role focuses on designing, influencing, and delivering complex, distributed solutions that meet both functional and non-functional business requirements. Solution Architects act as technical stewards for their domain, ensuring solutions align with enterprise architecture principles, standards, and long-term business strategy while empowering engineering teams to build high-quality, scalable software. What You'll Do

• Create architectural designs that meet functional and non-functional requirements while aligning with enterprise architecture principles, standards, and patterns.
• Demonstrate practitioner-level skill in designing and implementing complex systems with multiple integrations across domains.
• Own solution architecture for individual large cross-functional projects or initiatives from inception through delivery.
• Design solutions using appropriate integration approaches and communication patterns, clearly explaining the rationale behind chosen methods.
• Architect complex distributed systems while clearly articulating and evaluating trade-offs related to scalability, reliability, consistency, cost, and operational complexity.
• Create and maintain solution architecture artifacts appropriate to the scope and complexity of initiatives.
• Lead complex technical discussions and mentor engineers and junior architects in solution design and implementation.
• Design and execute end-to-end technical solutions composed of multiple collaborating systems that support growth, scalability, and business outcomes.
• Uphold and promote architecture standards, principles, and guidelines across teams within assigned domains.
• Proactively research, evaluate, and adopt emerging technologies - including AI-enabled capabilities - to enhance solution quality and effectiveness, and actively promote adoption with teammates.
• Ensure NFRs are explicitly considered, documented, and traceable within solution designs.
• Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and platform teams to resolve dependencies and unblock delivery.
• Assess trade-offs with an eye toward both immediate and long-term impact, including cost.

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent.
• 10-15 years of professional engineering and/or architecture experience, with significant responsibility for solution architecture.
• Demonstrated ability to write software and build proof-of-concepts to validate designs and technologies.
• Strong understanding of modern modeling approaches (eg, domain-driven design, C4).
• Excellent facilitation and communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Demonstrated strategic thinking beyond the scope of your technical solution; your work and designs are always part of a greater whole. Understanding how you impact other systems and people and articulating how it aligns with broader goals are important.
• Expertise with Azure, .NET/C#, and distributed system fundamentals.
