Solutions Architect, Singapore

Discord has a highly engaged community of millions of daily active users who use the platform for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does: play video games. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming, and we are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to hang out before, during, and after playing games.

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.

We're looking for an experienced technical practitioner who wants to operate at the intersection of solution architecture, game development, and developer partnerships. You'll own the technical relationship with major studios end-to-end: from discovery and architecture, through implementation, to ongoing optimization. You'll work closely with Sales, Product, and Engineering, and you'll serve as a technical resource and mentor for more junior team members.

What you'll be doing

Technical Ownership

Own end-to-end solution architecture for AAA game developer accounts

Lead technical discovery sessions and architectural reviews for customer implementations across the Social SDK and Discord's broader 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 that fall outside defined processes, working independently to define scope and propose solutions

Customer Partnership

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

Anticipate partner needs and proactively propose solutions before issues arise

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

Scaling & Operational Excellence

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

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner closely with Sales, Product, and Engineering to drive successful customer outcomes

Contribute to sales enablement through technical documentation, reference architectures, and case studies

Mentor more junior team members on technical best practices, integration patterns, and customer engagement

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

What you should have

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 Greater China and the 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 — from individual engineers to senior technical leaders

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
