Solutions Architect

Job title: Solutions Architect

About the Role

As a Solutions Architect on the Games team at Discord, you'll serve as the technical owner for AAA game developer partnerships. You'll lead the architectural and integration work that helps studios successfully implement Discord's developer tools, including the Social SDK.

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end solution architecture for AAA game developer accounts and lead technical discovery sessions and architectural reviews for customer implementations across the Social SDK and Discord's developer toolset.

• Provide expert guidance on best practices for integrating Discord's Social SDK and enabling commerce across diverse game genres, engines, and platforms.

• Troubleshoot deep technical issues, define scope, and propose solutions.

• Build trusted advisor relationships with senior technical stakeholders — engineering leaders, technical directors, and architects — at AAA partner studios.

• Develop integration strategies for your portfolio of developers that maximize the value of Discord's developer tools.

• Prepare and deliver technical updates and reviews to partner stakeholders on integration progress, milestones, and optimization opportunities.

• Contribute to systems, tools, and automations that evolve high-touch managed services into repeatable, scalable processes.

• Author reference architectures, integration playbooks, and technical documentation that lift the entire team's effectiveness.

• Identify patterns across accounts to drive product and process improvements.

• Partner with Sales, Product, and Engineering to drive successful customer outcomes; mentor junior team members.

• Lead initiatives spanning multiple areas and influence cross-functional partners with diverse viewpoints.

• What We're Looking For

• Significant technical experience in game development, with hands-on exposure to multiplayer architecture.

• Direct experience working within a game studio or game ecosystem provider.

• Professional fluency in Mandarin and English, required to lead technical relationships and conduct architectural reviews with AAA game studio partners across the Greater China and APAC region.

• Track record of independently owning complex, multi-month technical projects from architecture through delivery.

• Ability to read, understand, and discuss code across multiple languages.

• Familiarity with game engines (such as Unity, Unreal, proprietary), platforms, and development toolchains.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for varied audiences.

• Demonstrated experience building and maintaining trusted technical relationships with external partners.

• Comfort operating in ambiguity — defining scope where none exists and proposing solutions that fall outside of defined processes.

• Nice to Have

• Experience as a Solutions Engineer, Solutions Architect, Technical Account Manager, or similar customer-facing senior technical role.

• Experience with gamedev-focused developer platforms or SDK integrations.

• Background in developer relations or developer experience.

• Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary range: S$252,000 to S$283,500 annually + benefits.
