Solutions Architect, Singapore

Role overview

Discord supports hundreds of millions of users each month, with gaming at the center of how many people use the platform. The company is focused on making it easier for players to connect and spend time together before, during, and after gaming sessions.

• Investigate complex technical problems that do not fit standard workflows, define the scope, and recommend workable solutions.
• Build trusted relationships with senior technical stakeholders at partner studios, including engineering leaders, technical directors, and architects.
• Stay ahead of partner needs by identifying issues early and suggesting solutions proactively.
• Create integration strategies that help developers get the most value from Discord’s tools.
• Present technical updates, milestones, and optimization opportunities to partner teams.
• Help turn high-touch service work into repeatable, scalable processes through systems, tooling, and automation.
• Develop reference architectures, playbooks, and technical documentation that improve team performance.
• Spot patterns across accounts and use those insights to improve products and internal processes.
• Work with Sales, Product, and Engineering to deliver successful customer outcomes.
• Support sales efforts with technical documentation, reference architectures, and case studies.
• Mentor junior team members on integration patterns, technical standards, and customer communication.
• Lead cross-functional initiatives and influence partners with different perspectives.

Requirements

• Strong technical background in game development, including hands-on experience with multiplayer architecture.
• Experience working in a game studio or with a provider in the gaming ecosystem.
• Professional-level fluency in both Mandarin and English.
• Proven ability to independently manage complex technical projects over several months, from architecture through delivery.
• Ability to read, interpret, and discuss code written in multiple programming languages.
• Working knowledge of game engines and development environments such as Unity, Unreal, or proprietary engines.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain technical ideas clearly to both engineers and senior leaders.
• Experience building durable technical relationships with external partners.
• Comfort working in uncertain situations and defining solutions where processes are not already established.
• Nice-to-have experience in a Solutions Engineer, Solutions Architect, Technical Account Manager, or similar customer-facing senior technical role.
