You will be the design authority across major service provider accounts, working at both strategic and technical levels to translate requirements into robust, future-proof architectures. This is not just about pre-sales — it’s about owning solution design from concept through to delivery, ensuring technical integrity and partner success.

• Provide governance and oversight through solution design, validation, and implementation.
  

• Create reference architectures, design standards, and technical playbooks for the partner ecosystem.
  

Service Provider Expertise

• Bring deep knowledge of carrier-grade networking, SIP interconnects, multi-tenant cloud, API-driven integration, and compliance requirements.
  

• Guide partners through transformation projects including cloud migration, AI adoption, and ecosystem integration.
  

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with product management and engineering to influence roadmap based on service provider needs.
  

• Support delivery teams by providing architectural guidance and escalation on complex solution challenges.
  

• Engage with alliances and program managers to ensure solutions align to joint go-to-market strategies.
  

Strategic Impact

• Advise senior technical and business leaders at partner organizations on architectural strategy.
  

• Shape long-term platform adoption by designing solutions that scale with partner and market evolution.
  

Qualifications & Experience

• 10+ years in solution architecture, solution design, or systems engineering, ideally within UCaaS, CCaaS, SaaS, or telecom.
  

• Deep expertise in service provider ecosystems: interconnect, carrier networking, OSS/BSS integration, API-first architectures, and compliance frameworks.
  

• Proven track record designing large-scale, multi-million–user solutions with service providers or global SIs.
  

• Strong ability to document and communicate complex solution designs to both technical and executive stakeholders.
  

• Practical knowledge of cloud-native architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP) and modern integration approaches (REST APIs, microservices, containers).
  

• Hands-on technical depth balanced with strategic design thinking.
  

• Relevant certifications (AWS/Azure Architect, TOGAF, CCNP/CCIE, etc.) highly desirable.

Why Join Us?

• Lead solution architecture for some of the world’s most influential service providers and integrators.
  

• Play a critical role in shaping 8x8’s next-generation platform adoption at scale.
