About The Position

As a Junior Solutions Architect at RIVET, you'll own the technical execution that keeps our customer integrations running smoothly and solidifies RIVET’s value to customers. Integrations are make-or-break for us: integrated customers have a ~99% retention rate, while unintegrated ones are high churn risks. We’ve grown to hundreds of active integrations, and it’s time to scale how we support them. Your job is to own the day-to-day execution by troubleshooting issues, fulfilling customer requests for changes and new capabilities, building net-new integrations for onboarding & existing customers, and serving as the technical voice on customer calls. This role sits on our Customer Success team and reports directly to our Solutions Architect, with regular collaboration across Sales, Product, and Engineering.
This role blends hands-on execution with systems thinking. You'll spend most of your time solving immediate customer needs — and that work matters deeply to retention. You'll also dedicate time building a scalable Integrations function: spotting patterns in what breaks, proposing process improvements, and building new automation. We're looking for someone who can execute well today while actively thinking about how to make tomorrow better. You'll need to be comfortable with ambiguity, context-switching between multiple customer priorities, and building solutions where processes don't yet exist.
As the role matures and our integration systems stabilize, there's real runway to grow. Longer-term, integrations is evolving from a retention play into a revenue driver, opening opportunities to take on more strategic implementation work, influence how we package and sell integrations as a service, or move toward solutions architecture. If you're someone who sees technical expertise as a foundation (not a destination) and wants to build the business skills that will endure, this role has legs.
