For more than 35 years, Viasat has helped shape how consumers, businesses, governments and militaries around the globe communicate. We're looking for people who think big, act fearlessly, and create an inclusive environment that drives positive impact to join our team.
What you'll doOur team builds data-driven products that directly drive Viasat's revenue growth bytransforming how our commercial and customer-facing teams operate. We createinnovative data and software tools that sales, account management, and customersuccess teams use to close more deals, retain customers, and deliver better customerexperiences.
As Senior Solutions Architect, you'll co-lead the technical architecture anddevelopment of our entire platform ecosystem: web portals, automated documentgeneration systems, and cloud applications that process billions of records. You'llcollaborate on end-to-end technical decisions, from selecting frameworks to designingintegrations between BigQuery data pipelines, Salesforce, and enterpriseauthentication systems. Working in Python, AWS Lambda, Next.js/React, andTerraform, you'll architect high-performance solutions while mentoring teammembers 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.
You'll join an existing Senior Solutions Architect and share technical ownership of theplatform, dividing focus across features and initiatives. You'll work with AnalyticsEngineers in your team who build the data pipelines powering your applications,sales teams across business units who provide direct feedback, product andcommercial teams who understand customer needs as well as data engineers and ITteams who help scale solutions. This cross-functional exposure gives you uniqueperspective on both technology and business context. You'll help scale successful,well-loved tools from MVP stage to enterprise-grade platforms serving new markets,working in a small, collaborative team with startup pace but enterprise resources andmandate.
The day-to-dayYou'll architect new applications and features across the full stack, from designingAPI endpoints and service architectures to implementing frontend interfaces. Dailywork involves reviewing technical designs with Analytics Engineers, making architectural decisions on system integrations, and writing code in Python andTypeScript to implement solutions from infrastructure through user interface.
A typical day includes conducting proof-of-concepts for new tools and technologies,evaluating their fit for the platform architecture, and presenting technicalrecommendations to the team. This increasingly includes AI-powered capabilities: evaluating LLM APIs (such as Anthropic Claude or OpenAI), building MCP servers toexpose internal data to AI agents, and prototyping agentic workflows that automaterepetitive commercial processes. You'll investigate and resolve production bugs,optimize web portal performance and rendering efficiency, debug Lambda functions,and refactor components to improve reliability and maintainability. You'll designefficient data movement patterns in the cloud to handle high-volume datasets andensure applications remain responsive under load.
You'll collaborate with the Product Lead to define technical requirements for newfeatures, propose implementation approaches, and estimate development effort. Thisincludes designing integration patterns between systems, implementingauthentication and authorization systems for enterprise portals, specifying APIcontracts, and selecting scalable technologies that can grow with the platform. You'llalso spend time on infrastructure work: deploying services via Terraform,configuring CI/CD pipelines, architecting document generation systems, and ensuringapplications meet performance and security requirements for enterprise deployment.
