The Role
The Success Architect is a strategic advisory role within the Technical Success team responsible for partnering with our mature and complex client base to optimize their Addepar instances for scale, efficiency, and future growth. This is a non-implementation role that focuses on diagnostic assessment, technical debt remediation planning, and architectural designenabling clients to unlock new capabilities including Addison, agentic workflows, ADX, and other advanced platform elements.
Success Architects work as the "Designer" within our success model, collaborating closely with Client Success Managers (Strategists) to understand business objectives and Success Engineers (Builders) to translate those objectives into scalable technical solutions. Rather than building configurations themselves, Success Architects assess current state, identify inefficiencies and tech debt, and create comprehensive remediation roadmaps that position clients for growth and innovation.
