Senior Solution Architect - Hands On

San Francisco, CA - Hybrid - Full-Time - Senior Level - Posted May 28, 2026

• Join a high-growth, founder-led company with a track record of building and scaling successful businesses, including public companies.
• Be a part of a world-class, passionate and highly motivated team shaping the future of customer engagement at a global scale.
• Solve complex, real-world problems across diverse industries - from finance, to health care, travel, and more.
• Thrive in an environment that rewards great craftsmanship, creativity and ambition.
• Create solutions at the intersection of customer impact and product innovation.
• High ownership, autonomy, and opportunity to shape the company’s direction & culture for years to come.

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Solutions Architect with 10+ years of experience designing and delivering scalable SaaS, software, and AI platforms. The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical leader who can architect distributed systems, own reliability end-to-end, partner closely with clients, and deliver real-world AI solutions from discovery through production.

What you'll do

• Be the go-to technical expert for enterprise clients during pre-sales, onboarding, and solution design.
• Translate complex, ambiguous client requirements into clear, elegant AI-powered solution architectures on top of the Zingly platform.
• Design Voice AI and Digital AI solutions that transform how customers interact with brands — across channels, before and after the sale.
• Architect integrations between Zingly and clients’ core systems: CRM platforms, core banking systems, airline customer service platforms, ERP, ticketing, and more.
• Own the technical relationship with client stakeholders — from IT architects and security teams to product owners and C-suite sponsors.
• Partner with Zingly’s product and engineering teams to feed real-world client needs back into the platform roadmap.
• Build reusable solution blueprints, reference architectures, and integration patterns that scale across industries.
• Support pre-sales efforts with demos, technical proposals, RFP responses, and proof-of-concept builds.

What we're looking for

• You're as comfortable in a client workshop uncovering requirements as you are designing a multi-system integration architecture.
• You think in systems — and you can explain those systems clearly to a VP of Engineering and a business stakeholder in the same breath.
• You ship and prototype fast: you don't wait for perfect specs to start building.
• Startup-minded: resourceful, adaptable, energized by ambiguity, and never afraid to challenge the status quo.
• A natural collaborator who earns trust quickly — with clients and teammates alike.
• Passionate about AI and what it can do for real people in real customer interactions.

Nice to have

• Experience with contact center, CX, or CCaaS platforms (Genesys, NICE, Five9, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with LLM evaluation frameworks, prompt engineering, or fine-tuning workflows.
• Previous experience at a company that has gone from Series B to Series C or beyond.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward action — you ship, then refine.
