About the Role
Our team builds data-driven products that directly drive Viasat's revenue growth by transforming how our commercial and customer-facing teams operate. We create innovative data and software tools that sales, account management, and customer success teams use to close more deals, retain customers, and deliver better customer experiences. As Senior Solutions Architect, you'll co-lead the technical architecture and development of our entire platform ecosystem: web portals, automated document generation systems, and cloud applications that process billions of records. You'll collaborate on end-to-end technical decisions, from selecting frameworks to designing integrations between BigQuery data pipelines, Salesforce, and enterprise authentication systems. Working in Python, AWS Lambda, Next.js/React, and Terraform, you'll architect high-performance solutions while mentoring team members and contributing innovative ideas for future capabilities. Your technical decisions directly influence how hundreds of commercial and customer-facing professionals across global business units identify prospects, prioritize opportunities, retain accounts, and deliver differentiated customer experiences. A key part of the role is evaluating and integrating emerging AI capabilities — including LLM-powered features, AI agent frameworks, and MCP servers — to accelerate both internal tooling and customer touchpoints.
