Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Solutions Architect - **Company:** UPSUN LLC - **Location:** United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** PHP (Programming Language), Artificial Intelligence, JIRA, Cloud Computing, Code Review, Continuous Integration, Github, Python (Programming Language), Systems Development Life Cycle, Release Management, Symfony, Strategies of Testing, TypeScript, Gitlab, Git Flow - **Published:** September 4, 2026 - **Apply:** https://startup.jobs/senior-solutions-architect-remote-woman-9490049 ## About the Role * Foundational Solutions Architecture: 7+ years in technical roles, with substantial time in customer-facing architecture - solutions architecture, principal or lead pre-sales engineering, technical consulting, professional services, or founding engineer work with design partners. * Hands-on Technical Depth: You still code every now and then. You can be dropped into an unfamiliar codebase and CI setup and be useful within a few days, building your own proofs. Comfortable in at least one ecosystem our customers live in: PHP and Symfony, JavaScript and TypeScript, Python, or Go. * Modern SDLC Fluency: Real fluency in Git workflows, CI/CD, testing strategy, code review practice, release management, and how all of it breaks at scale. * Cloud & Infrastructure Competence: Containers, environments, secrets handling, cloud primitives, and the realities of running things in production. * AI-Native Expertise: You've built with agents, not just used them - multi-step agentic workflows, tool and MCP integration, context engineering, evaluating and steering model output, cost and latency tradeoffs. Working understanding of governance, audit, and cost control in agentic systems. * Value Selling Fundamentals: Strong ability to anchor technical conversations in business outcomes, and to tell an engineering leader what works, what doesn't, and where the field is going - without selling. * Executive Presence: You're good in the room - able to sit with a VP of Engineering, a security reviewer, and a finance stakeholder, hold all three concerns, and tell a customer "that won't work" while keeping the relationship. * Strong Written Communication: Architecture documents, runbooks, and briefs that change decisions - what you write travels further than what you say. * Comfort with Ambiguity: The product is young and the category is being written now. You'll build the first version of things and revise them, working across time zones where needed (our product/engineering teams and many customers are in Europe). ## Description * Win the Technical Decision: Own the technical relationship on your opportunities - discovery, architecture and security review, proofs of value, and the conversation where an engineering leader decides whether to trust us. * Grow the Accounts You Own: Expand from the first workflow to the second and third, inside both new logos and our existing customer base. * Build the First Working Version: Build workflows, custom steps, and integrations yourself against each customer's GitHub or GitLab, Jira or Linear, Slack, and existing CI. * Drive the Market Feedback Loop: Be the shortest path between a customer's problem and our roadmap - translating customer signal into structured input for product and engineering. * Make the Next Deployment Cheaper: Capture each deployment as a reusable pattern - a reference architecture, a workflow template, a documented approach that partners and other architects can run without you. * Technical Leadership: Handle security questionnaires, architecture reviews, compliance questions, and RFP inputs; deliver technical workshops and executive briefings tailored to the audience in the room., You can expect 4 video interviews on Google Meet to follow the order below. Should you successfully move through the entire process you will have the opportunity to meet with a variety of Upsunners. Our goal is to ensure you can make the most informed decision on whether this role, and our culture aligns with what you're looking for in your future working environment. 1. 45 Minutes with Talent Acquisition 2. 60 Minutes with Hiring Manager (Sr. Director, Customer Solutions) 3. 60 Minutes with Team (Field CTO) 4. 60 Minutes with Executive (CRO) All roles require background checks. ## Related Videos - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Modern DevOps for IoT Devices and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1805-wearedevelopers-live-modern-devops-for-iot-devices-and-more) - [Solution Architecture: A Startup Perspective](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/778-solution-architecture-a-startup-perspective) - [Enabling automated 1-click customer deployments with built-in quality and security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/83-enabling-automated-1-click-customer-deployments-with-built-in-quality-and-security) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
