Presales Solutions Architect

• 4+ years of experience in a presales role such as Solutions Architecture, Solutions Engineering, or Sales Engineering, ideally in ecommerce, payments, or fraud prevention.
• Proven experience scoping technical integrations during the sales cycle and managing complex, multi-stakeholder evaluations; a background in implementation or technical project management is a strong plus.
• Strong grasp of APIs, webhooks, data flows, and common ecommerce and payments architecture, with the ability to speak credibly to both technical and business stakeholders.
• A track record of winning deals through demos, RFPs, proofs of concept, and business cases or ROI modeling; comfort working with data in SQL or spreadsheets is a plus.
• Working knowledge of the LATAM payments landscape, including local payment methods, installments, cross-border commerce, and regional data-protection rules such as Brazil's LGPD.
• Highly organized and proactive: you set clear expectations, follow through, and escalate early when something puts a deal or a timeline at risk.
• Excellent presentation and written communication skills, with experience running conversations at varying levels of seniority.
• Fluency in English required; professional proficiency in Spanish and Portuguese strongly preferred.
• Based in LATAM, with willingness to travel occasionally for merchant and internal meetings.

Compensation for this role will vary by location and experience and will be shared by your recruiter during the hiring process. All full-time regular employees are eligible for stock-based awards and Riskified's full benefits package.
