include Molten Ventures, Eurazeo, Intesa Sanpaolo, Temasek, Nyca Partners, JPMorgan Chase Strategic Investments, Standard
Chartered Ventures, and more.
We have created a culture that enables our team to produce the best work in the industry while ensuring we have fun along the way.
We're regularly cited as having a fantastic workplace culture and have been recognised by Sifted magazine as having one of the
highest Glassdoor ratings for a UK fintech company and the industry's most generous employee share package. Named one of the
world's most innovative fintechs by Global Finance Magazine, we were also recognised by the Financial Times as one of Europe's
fastest-growing companies for two consecutive years—and a UK Best Employer for 2026.
Architects within the Expert Services team at Thought Machine play a crucial role in enabling clients to successfully modernise
their core banking and payments systems using the Vault platform. This involves working across pre-sales and delivery engagements
to provide expert advice on deployment, configuration, integration, and migration. The Architect will consult on the successful
execution of end-to-end core replacement programmes. They are expected to have deep knowledge of the Vault product suite and
future roadmap, both in terms of functionality offered, the non-functional requirements it has been designed to meet and the
choices and constraints that have informed that architecture.

PARTNER SOLUTIONS ARCHITECT, TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS WHO WE ARE 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 As a member of the Partner Solutions Architecture (PSA) team, you'll be responsible for providing technical guidance to Stripe's technology partners. Our goal is to drive growth through co-solutioning, education, and enablement with our partner organization. The right candidate will be a technical liaison to the Stripe Partner Development Manager. This will involve creating technical business plans for technology partners, including identifying, incubating, and bringing to market service and solution offerings built on or with Stripe. A Partner Solutions Architect is someone who is intellectually curious, open, and entrepreneurial. WHAT YOU'LL DO As a member of the team, PSAs build consultative relationships with executives and technical decision-makers in the customer's organization to provide business and technical thought leadership, and become a trusted advisor in solving business-critical challenges. We architect business models with them so they can drive new monetization opportunities and growth. RESPONSIBILITIES * Work with key technology partners to build out their Stripe capabilities and solutions to grow their business and drive non-linear growth * Develop and execute enablement plans * Be at the forefront of technical discussions and solution deep-dives with technology partners on the value Stripe can provide to their clients * Engage with CTOs, engineering, and other technical leads at key partners to share technology roadmaps, demonstrate the latest innovations, and define a solution strategy to expand the partnership revenue * Communicate success internally through QBRs, etc. * Provide oversight, guidance, and assistance during the partner sales process to ensure mutual success in joint opportunities * Educate the Stripe sales team on key partner solutions and capabilities * Serve as an advocate for key technology partners within specific sales regions and identify areas for sales partnership * Collaborate on technical content (sample code, demos, etc.) to show partners how to implement specific use cases or best practices * Provide partner-focused guidance on Stripe products through feedback WHO YOU ARE We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS * 10+ years of experience in a customer-facing engineering role such as solution consultant, solutions architect, or sales engineer for a global software enterprise * Strong technical acumen in API integrations, SaaS platforms, and enterprise architectures, with an understanding of how technology partners build and scale integrated solutions * Experience working with technology partner ecosystems and payment solutions * Understanding of financial infrastructure industry trends and emerging technologies * Experience co-selling and co-solutioning with go-to-market partners * Executive engagement skills and presence, with an ability to establish relationships with key decision-makers and build credibility at all levels * Group-facilitation skills and confidence in proposing and leading customer meetings to gain footing and pursue opportunities * Understanding of the software development lifecycle and API architecture * Outstanding spoken and written communication skills, presentation skills, and confidence in explaining complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences * Ability to learn Stripe solutions such as Payments, Connect, Issuing, and more * Ability to understand how a wide variety of applications such as ERP, CRM, Billing, Tax, and legacy systems interact with each other in an enterprise technology ecosystem * Strong organizational and time management skills and the ability to juggle competing priorities while working with multiple strategic opportunities and customers * Strategic and creative thinker who can identify challenges and maintain a positive approach when facing difficult obstacles HYBRID WORK AT STRIPE This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office). IN-OFFICE EXPECTATIONS Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams. WORKING REMOTELY AT STRIPE A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently live or plan to live.
