About The Position

Genesys is seeking an experienced Senior Solution Architect, Zuora Billing to lead solution architecture, design governance, and technical direction across our billing platform and broader Lead-to-Cash ecosystem. This role will be responsible for designing scalable, reliable, and supportable Zuora Billing solutions that support subscription, usage-based, and hybrid monetization models. This role requires deep hands-on expertise in Zuora Billing, with extensive experience in Zuora Workflows, mediation, usage processing, rating, bill runs, integrations, and operational supportability. The ideal candidate brings strong architectural judgment, curiosity, ownership, and the ability to drive clarity across complex cross-system processes spanning Salesforce, Zuora Billing, Zuora Revenue, Workday, ServiceNow, AWS, and related integration layers. Success in this role requires more than platform knowledge. The Senior Solution Architect must understand the business context, challenge incomplete requirements, evaluate downstream impacts, and design solutions that protect billing accuracy, revenue integrity, operational stability, and long-term scalability.

Ability to translate complex business needs into scalable architecture and communicate tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Experience leading design reviews, architecture governance, impact analysis, and technical decision-making across cross-functional teams.
Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, including the ability to diagnose complex billing, workflow, integration, and data issues.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce clear architecture documentation, decision records, and executive-ready summaries.

Experience designing billing observability frameworks, including dashboards, alerting, workflow monitoring, exception queues, and operational metrics.
Experience with API design, event-driven architecture, batch processing, asynchronous processing, and integration governance.
