About the role
Solutions Architect
You're the person in the meeting who spots the real problem before anyone else sees it. A customer says "our builds are slow" - you ask three precise questions, cut through the noise, and you already know it's a transitive dependency being re-resolved on every run.
You use your sharp knowledge and instinct to solve real impact cases. At Bitrise, our customers aren't solo developers tinkering with side projects. We're talking to mobile engineering teams with 100+ engineers shipping apps to millions of users around the globe. When something breaks in their CI pipeline, it's not a minor inconvenience; it's hundreds of blocked engineers. And when something clicks, even just targeted tweaks that slash build times by 25%, the impact ripples across the entire organization. You don't just react to support customers; you help improve how teams ship. This is the kind of moment that brings deep satisfaction.
About the Role
As a Solutions Architect, you'll live closest to these moments. You're the trusted technical voice our biggest customers turn to when things get gnarly - the one who can drop into a tangled build failure, untangle it, and leave the team better equipped than before. But you're more than a firefighter. You help customers grow on the platform, and you carry the signal from the field back to our Product and Engineering teams, shaping what gets built next. If you want a platform to do meaningful technical work, develop thought leadership, and influence the direction of mobile DevOps, this is where you make that happen.
