Our projects span urgent critical incidents, relationship management, and long-running client-initiated engagements across their full lifecycle.

As a Solution Architect, you will own outcomes, not just tasks. The role is hands-on: you are expected to understand the technical and financial details of your projects, read platform code, write API examples, and perform in-depth data analysis. You will represent Arcesium in technical discussions with clients, which requires detailed knowledge and accurate communication.

This is a high-visibility role - your work will be noticed by our clients and senior management.

• Identify, track, and resolve blockers across engineering, product, and client teams, escalating risks early and always maintaining forward momentum.
• Build and maintain strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders, establishing yourself as a trusted point of contact.

• Recommend and implement process improvements that reduce manual effort, improve resilience, and support long-term operational scalability.

What You'll Need

• Exceptional relationship-building skills and the ability to form trust quickly and maintain productive working relationships across diverse teams and organizational levels.
• A proven track record of unblocking complex, multi-stakeholder workstreams and driving them through to completion.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects, maintain detailed tracking, and anticipate risks before they become issues.
• Strong functional knowledge of middle and back-office technology platforms, including an understanding of how workflows, integrations, and system components fit together.
• Strong meeting presence with the ability to command a room, articulate complex problems clearly, and drive alignment across technical and business audiences.
• The ability to be self-motivated and to think independently while being a team player.

The expected annual base salary for this position is $170,000 - $200,000. Our compensation package includes variable compensation in the form of a year-end bonus, guaranteed in the first year of hire, benefits including medical and prescription drug coverage, and 401k contribution matching.

The applicable annual base salary paid to a successful applicant will be determined based on multiple factors including without limitation the nature and extent of prior experience and educational background.
