Remote Specialist Solutions Architect jobs

5 open positions in the United States, newest first.

Serves as the deep expert in one technical domain, such as data engineering, machine learning, security, networking, or a particular industry, supporting a vendor's sales and customer teams.

The role mixes customer architecture work with building reusable technical content.

  • Works with product managers and engineers on roadmap feedback and early testing of new features.

What employers ask for

  • Recognized depth in one technical domain
  • Hands-on coding and architecture design
  • Cloud platform experience on AWS, Azure, or GCP
  • Presenting to technical and executive audiences
  • Writing technical guides and reference code
  • Prior solutions architect or engineering experience

Doing this job remotely

Specialists support accounts across a wide region and are usually remote, engaging by video and shared environments. Demand comes from many account teams at once, so prioritizing requests is a constant task. Travel for customer workshops, conferences, and internal training is common, and working hours follow the regions served.

Where it comes from and where it leads

Specialists come from generalist solutions architecture or from hands-on engineering roles in the domain, such as data engineering or security. They move up to principal architect, lead a specialist team, or join product management or engineering.
