Shape the Future of AI in Enterprise

Arcade.dev is solving the biggest bottleneck in AI today: the gap between AI that just chats and AI that gets things done. We've built the production platform that makes tool-calling safe, secure, and easy for both developers and enterprises, enabling AI agents to take real actions in the world.

Fresh off a $12M seed round led by Peter Sonsini (early investor in Databricks and Perplexity), with backing from Mistral's CEO, Meta's Llama team, and AWS leadership, we're scaling rapidly with Global 2000 enterprises across technology, healthcare, manufacturing, energy, and telecommunications. In just 4 weeks with our GTM team, we've built a $1M+ ARR pipeline.

As our Principal Solutions Architect, you'll become a senior customer-deployed technical face of the company. You'll be working under the direction of our Co-Founder/CTO to scale up this work. This isn't just another solutions architect role—you'll be building the Solutions Architect function from the ground up, establishing thought leadership in the vibrant AI ecosystem, and directly shaping how the world's largest organizations deploy production AI agents at scale.

Important: Like all team members at Arcade, you'll wear multiple hats in this high-growth startup environment. Beyond technical leadership and customer engagement, we expect you to be an active voice in the AI community through speaking engagements, social media presence, content creation, and developer evangelism.

The Opportunity

As our Solutions Architect, you'll wear multiple hats in this high-impact role:

🏗️ Technical Visionary: Lead enterprise architecture decisions for production AI agent deployments, designing solutions that solve authentication, integration complexity, and operational visibility challenges that prevent AI from taking real-world actions

🤝 Customer Champion: Build deep relationships with AI/ML leaders and CTOs at Global 2000 enterprises, understanding their agent deployment challenges and crafting secure, compliant solutions using our platform

🎯 Community Leader & Evangelist: Actively represent Arcade.dev across multiple channels—speaking at industry conferences and meetups, maintaining a strong social media presence, writing technical blog posts, participating in podcasts, and creating thought leadership content that establishes our position in AI agent infrastructure

⚡ Hands-On Builder: Continue coding and building solutions directly with customers—helping them navigate complex tool-calling architectures, MCP implementations, and enterprise security requirements. Build agents for Arcade along the way.
