Job summary

The Solutions Architect (SA) role is established to support DigiCert’s most strategic, complex, and high-impact opportunities by providing deep technical architecture, system design expertise, and cybersecurity thought leadership.

As DigiCert’s portfolio, customer scale, and innovation velocity continue to grow, the SA role ensures we can:

  • Design scalable, enterprise-grade trust architectures
  • Meet advanced customer requirements earlier in the sales cycle
  • Influence product direction with real-world architectural insight

  • Help drive and adopt AI-driven capabilities

This role is intentionally distinct from Solutions Engineering and does not own day-to-day customer engagements. Instead, the SA is deployed selectively where architectural rigor, executive-level credibility, and cross-functional alignment are critical.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
