Job summary

Ericsson is seeking a Senior Presales Solution Architect for the United States. You will lead end-to-end technical presales, design scalable fintech solutions, and serve as the technical authority in customer engagements.

You will craft architecture across mobile money, digital wallets, and API ecosystems, balancing security, compliance, and business value. You will develop compelling technical proposals, manage RFP responses, and ensure smooth handovers to delivery, while staying ahead of US

Qualifications

• 10+ years in solution architecture, software engineering, or other deeply technical roles within fintech or financial services technology organizations in the US.
• A proven track record of technically leading complex, architecture-driven engagements in fintech or payments.
• Strong hands-on understanding of fintech platforms, including mobile money, digital payments, wallet infrastructure, API design and management, microservices, and cloud-based financial services architectures.
• Fluency in the technical fundamentals that matter in payments—transaction processing, security and encryption, data integration, system scalability, and resilience.
• The rare ability to move between layers—from deep technical whiteboard work to framing business value for executives.
• Excellent solution design, technical writing, presentation, and RFP response skills.
• A collaborative, customer-first mindset and the credibility to build trusted relationships with technical and business stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end technical presales process — from discovery and requirements analysis through solution design, architecture, live demonstrations, proposals, and executive presentations.
• Act as the lead technical authority in customer engagements, positioning Ericsson Mobile Financial Services capabilities as the right architectural and strategic fit for complex fintech environments.
• Architect tailored, scalable solutions spanning mobile money, digital wallets, payment processing, API ecosystems, and financial inclusion use cases.
• Design integration and systems architectures that address security, compliance, scalability, and interoperability challenges specific to US financial services.
• Build compelling solution narratives that connect deep technical capability to measurable business value for both engineering teams and senior executives.
• Produce high-quality technical proposals, solution blueprints, and RFP/RFI responses that clearly differentiate us on both technical merit and commercial value.
• Drive clean handovers to delivery, collaborating closely with sales, product, and implementation teams to ensure what is sold can be built and scaled.
• Stay ahead of the market — tracking US fintech trends, emerging payment technologies, regulatory shifts, and the competitive landscape, and feeding insights back into our solution strategy.
• Build reusable technical assets — reference architectures, demo environments, integration patterns, and best-practice documentation that raise the capability of the whole team.
• Mentor and uplift colleagues, helping grow solution architecture depth across presales and supporting partner-led engagements.
