Job description

About Morpho

Morpho is a leading Decentralized Finance (DeFi) lending protocol that raised million from a16z, Paradigm, Ribbit, Apollo, Coinbase and 50 others to build an open credit network giving anyone, anywhere, access to the best borrowing and lending terms on-chain. Morpho is experiencing exponential adoption, with over 10 billion dollars in deposits on the network and used by the largest names in the industry such as such as Coinbase, Apollo, Kraken, Binance, .... Now, Morpho is scaling its team to establish itself as the open credit network, not just of DeFi, but of the world.

Why Morpho Exists

Building something meaningful takes resources, yet access to capital still depends on where you live, who you know, and which institutions are willing to trust you. Even when capital is available, it sits fragmented across disconnected networks and hidden behind intermediaries. The result is a system that fails most of the people it should serve. Borrowers overpay. Lenders earn less than they should. Many are shut out entirely, not because they are unworthy of credit, but because today's infrastructure was never built to connect them. Morpho exists to solve this. Full article here.

How we work

We move fast on hard problems in a nascent market with no set playbook: navigating uncertainty is part of the job. You'll be challenged: anyone can question work and decisions must be justified. We keep a high bar and match it with high support: we help each other unblock and share context openly, with low ego. More about our values: morpho.org/jobs.

Role

As a Solution Architect at Morpho, you'll be part of the Integration Team and work closely with our largest partners (exchanges, custodians, wallets, fintechs, and asset managers) to design and launch robust and compliant integrations. You'll act as the main technical counterpart, bridging partner teams with Morpho's engineering and product teams.

Responsibilities

• Shape partner solutions early: work with Business Development to understand partner needs, translate requirements into clear technical approaches, identify constraints, de-risk integrations, and define success criteria.

• Design end-to-end architectures with partners: lead the design of integrations with key partners across APIs, smart contracts, oracles, and custody solutions, and architect around Morpho's core stack including wallets/custody, KYC and access controls, compliance, liquidation tooling, monitoring, and operations.

• Run architecture workshops to align on user journeys, liquidity strategies, and go-to-market with partners.

• Drive delivery and execution: produce clear, actionable deliverables (architecture diagrams, specs, integration playbooks), coordinate across internal teams (protocol, product, infra, legal, risk, growth) to unblock launches, and work closely with partner engineering teams to bring solutions to production.

• Scale what works: turn field learnings into better product, tooling, and documentation, and contribute to reference architectures and best practices.

• Stay ahead and communicate clearly: keep up with DeFi infrastructure, Ethereum, and regulatory developments, and communicate effectively across teams and time zones, keeping complex topics simple and actionable.

What Success Looks Like

First 30 days

Familiar with all of Morpho's codebase and able to answer technical questions from integrators. Has absorbed 80% of Morpho's context and is already making a tangible difference supporting the Integration and Growth team.

First 4 months

Fully autonomous on technical questions, able to support growth without needing to involve others from the integration team. Smoothly onboards integrators and reassures partners. Knows where to find answers and has improved documentation and internal processes.

In 1 year

A key partner and reference point for the Integration, Growth teams and Morpho partners.

Must-have Experience & Skills

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of owning complex systems and delivering cross-functionally.

• Significant experience working with external partners (solutions architecture, integration engineering, or technical pre-sales), ideally in high-stakes or enterprise environments.

• Significant experience in DeFi (non-negotiable): deep understanding of at least one major DeFi protocol, or a solid grasp of lending and borrowing mechanisms.

• Strong architecture skills: able to design and reason about end-to-end systems spanning smart contracts, APIs/SDKs, custody/wallet infrastructure, and compliance constraints.

• Hands-on technical profile: working knowledge of Solidity; comfortable reading, reviewing, and debugging smart contracts and integration flows; proficient with modern programming languages and AI coding tools.

• Experience designing or implementing integrations across multiple systems (APIs, smart contracts, custody providers, etc.), ideally in production environments.

• Excellent written communication: able to produce clear specs, integration guides, and partner-facing documentation.

• High ownership and autonomy: able to take ambiguous partner projects from early scoping to production without constant oversight.

• Humble.

Nice-to-have Experience & Skills

• Experience integrating with exchanges, wallets, custody providers, fintechs, or institutional asset managers (security reviews, audits, SLAs, compliance constraints).

• Familiarity with permissioned DeFi patterns (allowlists, wrappers/controllers, role separation, timelocks) and partner requirements around custody and control.

• Strong intuition for liquidity and go-to-market mechanics (liquidity provisioning, market makers, incentives) that impact integration success.

• Experience defining scalable integration processes (handoffs, templates, playbooks) and improving documentation as a product.

Perks & benefits

We design benefits around deep work and growth, so you can do the best work of your career. Expect fair, top-tier compensation, real flexibility, time together in Paris, great health coverage, and support to keep learning.

Equal opportunity

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and hire based on talent, potential, and values alignment.
