About The Team
Specialist Solutions Architects (SSA) are domain experts aligned to specific Stripe solutions and customer buying centers.

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.

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.
