How we work
How the team describes its culture:
We move fast on hard problems in a nascent market with no set playbook: navigating uncertainty is part of the job. You'll be challenged: anyone can question work and decisions must be justified.
Role
As a Solution Architect at Morpho, you'll be part of the Integration Team and work closely with our largest partners (exchanges, custodians, wallets, fintechs, and asset managers) to design and launch robust and compliant integrations. You'll act as the main technical counterpart, bridging partner teams with Morpho's engineering and product teams.
Responsibilities
Day-to-day scope for the Solution Architect - Americas as described in the posting:
- Shape partner solutions early: work with Business Development to understand partner needs, translate requirements into clear technical approaches, identify constraints, de-risk integrations, and define success criteria.
- Design end-to-end architectures with partners: lead the design of integrations with key partners across APIs, smart contracts, oracles, and custody solutions, and architect around Morpho's core stack including wallets/custody, KYC and access controls, compliance, liquidation tooling, monitoring, and operations.
- Run architecture workshops to align on user journeys, liquidity strategies, and go-to-market with partners.
- Drive delivery and execution: produce clear, actionable deliverables (architecture diagrams, specs, integration playbooks), coordinate across internal teams (protocol, product, infra, legal, risk, growth) to unblock launches, and work closely with partner engineering teams to bring solutions to production.
- Scale what works: turn field learnings into better product, tooling, and documentation, and contribute to reference architectures and best practices.
- Stay ahead and communicate clearly: keep up with DeFi infrastructure, Ethereum, and regulatory developments, and communicate effectively across teams and time zones, keeping complex topics simple and actionable.
