Solutions Architect

CompassX Group • Los Angeles, CA

11d • $140,000 - $170,000

About The Position

As a Solution Architect, you bridge the gap between visionary ideas and rock-solid enterprise systems, designing end-to-end architectures that actually work in complex, real-world environments. You’ll partner closely with business and technology leaders to turn future-state plans into integrated, scalable platforms that are resilient, secure, and ready for growth.

Requirements

• Strong background in specialized architecture, ideally having grown from roles such as business systems analyst into a platform-focused architect.
• Deep expertise with at least one major enterprise platform (e.g., investment management, Aladdin, CRM, or core financial systems) and a practical understanding of its functional constraints and integration patterns.
• Proven ability to design conceptual architectures for complex, multi-system environments and to perform rigorous feasibility and impact assessments.
• Experience working in high-complexity, high-regulation verticals (such as financial services) and navigating legacy technology stacks without breaking critical operations.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain trade-offs, risks, and design decisions clearly to both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders.
• A problem-solving mindset that focuses on system integrity, maintainability, and long-term scalability rather than just “getting it to work†today.
• Collaborative working style, comfortable influencing without authority and partnering across engineering, product, operations, and business leadership.
• Curiosity and adaptability, with a desire to continuously deepen your platform knowledge and architectural craft in a fast-evolving technology landscape.

Responsibilities

• Own the overall architecture for key initiatives, ensuring that future-state designs are technically viable and fully integrated across existing platforms and ecosystems.
• Translate business strategies and “north star†visions into actionable architectural blueprints, roadmaps, and sequencing of projects.
• Evaluate and select specific enterprise tools (for example, CRD, SAP, Aladdin or similar platforms) and define how they interact, exchange data, and enforce controls end-to-end.
• Create conceptual and logical architectures, perform feasibility checks, and proactively identify integration risks before they become production issues.
• Collaborate with engineers, product owners, and business stakeholders to align solution design, delivery timelines, and technical constraints.
• Champion system integrity, performance, and security, ensuring that new solutions fit cleanly into legacy stacks and high-complexity environments such as financial services.
• Document key decisions, architectural standards, and patterns so teams can build and operate solutions consistently.
• Stay current on platform capabilities and emerging technologies, bringing informed recommendations on how to modernize, simplify, or consolidate systems over time.

Benefits

• Competitive salary with performance-based bonus
• PTO, holidays, and sabbatical program
• Health, dental, vision, and life insurance
• Retirement plan with company match from day one
• Learning and professional development support
