About Stripe
Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world's largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.
About The Team
Specialist Solutions Architects (SSA) are domain experts aligned to specific Stripe solutions and customer buying centers. We have in-depth knowledge of specific solution offerings and a deep understanding of customer challenges. We align with specialist product sellers on deals, advise the broader pre-sales team on complex opportunities, support pipeline development and revenue attainment, serve as an advisor on go-to-market sales plays, and provide critical insights to our product and engineering teams.
As our first Specialist Solutions Architect for Crypto and Stablecoins in APAC, you’ll help establish how we support customers and partner with sales across the region. You’ll bring local market needs into our global approach and build repeatable practices that others can build on.
What You'll Do
You will collaborate closely with sales and pre-sales teams to drive pipeline and revenue targets, while also educating the product and engineering teams on market trends and strongly influencing the product roadmap. You will develop deep relationships with senior customer business leaders and grow Stripe's solution offerings with new and existing customers. As a subject matter expert, you will scale the broader organization by creating reusable assets and coaching others on complex, high-value opportunities.
As a Specialist Solutions Architect for Crypto and Stablecoins, you will lead in-depth product discussions with Stripe's top users and prospects and execute against our go-to-market strategy for Stripe's crypto and stablecoin products, including Bridge and Privy. You will serve as a trusted advisor for business and technical stakeholders—CTOs, CFOs, Heads of Digital Assets, and Treasury teams—helping them understand how stablecoin infrastructure can power faster, cheaper, and more programmable money movement globally.
This is a hands-on individual-contributor role with the opportunity to shape how specialist solutions architecture operates for crypto and stablecoins in APAC. Alongside working directly with customers, you’ll help identify where specialist engagement has the greatest impact, establish ways of working with regional sales and pre-sales teams, and develop solutions and playbooks tailored to APAC markets.
