What Does a Solutions Architect Do?
A solutions architect designs how a product or platform solves a specific customer's problem — mapping requirements to an architecture, guiding implementation, and often supporting the sales process as the technical expert. They translate between business goals and engineering reality.
The role blends deep technical knowledge with communication and customer skills. Much of it — design, documentation, calls — is done remotely, making it a common distributed hire.
