• Identify constraints, de-risk integrations, and define success criteria
• Design end-to-end architectures with partners
• Lead the design of integrations with key partners
• Define system architecture across APIs, smart contracts, oracles, and custody solutions
• Architect around Morpho's core stack: wallets/custody, KYC & access controls, compliance, liquidation tooling, monitoring, and operations
• Run architecture workshops to align on user journeys, liquidity strategies, and go-to-market
• Produce clear, actionable deliverables: architecture diagrams, specs, and integration playbooks
• Coordinate across internal teams (protocol, product, infra, legal, risk, growth) to unblock launches
• Work closely with partner engineering teams to bring solutions to production
• Turn field learnings into better product, tooling, and documentation
• Identify recurring patterns and contribute to reference architectures and best practices
• Keep up with DeFi infrastructure, Ethereum, and regulatory developments
• Communicate effectively across teams and time zones

Must-have Experience & Skills

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of owning complex systems and delivering cross-functionally
• Significant experience working with external partners (solutions architecture, integration engineering, or technical pre-sales), ideally in high-stakes or enterprise environments
• Experience in DeFi: deep understanding of at least one major DeFi protocol, or a solid grasp of lending and borrowing mechanisms
• Strong architecture skills: able to design and reason about end-to-end systems spanning smart contracts, APIs/SDKs, custody/wallet infrastructure, and compliance constraints
• Hands-on technical profile: working knowledge of Solidity; comfortable reading, reviewing, and debugging smart contracts and integration flows; proficient with modern programming languages and AI coding tools
• Experience designing or implementing integrations across multiple systems (APIs, smart contracts, custody providers, etc.), ideally in production environments
• Excellent written communication: able to produce clear specs, integration guides, and partner-facing documentation
• High ownership and autonomy: able to take ambiguous partner projects from early scoping to production without constant oversight

Nice-to-have Experience & Skills

• Experience integrating with exchanges, wallets, custody providers, fintechs, or institutional asset managers (security reviews, audits, SLAs, compliance constraints)
• Familiarity with permissioned DeFi patterns (allowlists, wrappers/controllers, role separation, timelocks) and partner requirements around custody and control
• Strong intuition for liquidity and go-to-market mechanics (liquidity provisioning, market makers, incentives) that impact integration success
• Experience defining scalable integration processes (handoffs, templates, playbooks) and improving documentation as a product
