Our DIFM (Do-It-For-Me) Solutions Architect plays a key role in delivering high-quality websites with speed and precision, while boosting sales through strategic engagement. This position supports pre-sales efforts, assists customers with technical and process-related queries, and designs scalable processes that enhance overall service efficiency.

Whether your background is in web design, engineering, customer success, technical operations, or process optimization, if you’re passionate about delivering customer-focused solutions and enjoy refining systems for scale, we want to hear from you.

On a typical day as a DIFM Solutions Architect, you will:

Build and deliver high-quality websites within four business days of content submission, adhering to the fast-paced nature of the role.
Engage proactively with internal teams through Slack, assisting with pre-sales queries, recommending appropriate product solutions, and providing quick email responses to our customers.
Raise product awareness by contributing to the creation of training materials, attending team meetings, and presenting at meetups and Town Halls.
Maximize post-build success by setting clear expectations with clients, offering light revisions when necessary, and ensuring customer satisfaction.
Scale the service by enhancing operational efficiency, developing reusable design patterns, creating macros for common processes, and documenting best practices for the team.

What we’re looking for:

You have experience in web design, technical solutions, or process optimization. Familiarity with platforms like WordPress or other CMS tools is a plus.
You excel at proactive communication, working cross-functionally with sales teams, developers, and end-users.
You’re skilled at managing multiple tasks efficiently, balancing site delivery, customer inquiries, and team collaboration.
You thrive on problem solving and optimizing workflows, with a mindset for scaling operations through repeatable patterns and automations.
You’re an adaptable team player, comfortable with evolving priorities and eager to learn new tools and processes.
You have a customer-first mindset, understanding the importance of both pre-sales support and post-build satisfaction to minimize cancellations and boost overall customer loyalty.

Bonus Skills:

Experience in a technical sales or account management role, particularly in the tech or web development industry.
Experience with creating or maintaining reusable web design themes and patterns.
Familiarity with scaling operational processes in a SaaS or tech services company.

If you’re passionate about scaling web solutions, enjoy working in a dynamic environment, and are equally excited by both technical challenges and customer success, we’d love to have you on our team!

About Automattic

We are the people behind WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Tumblr, Simplenote, Jetpack, Longreads, Day One, Pocket Casts, and more. We believe in making the web a better place.

We’re a distributed company with more than 1700 Automatticians in 92 countries speaking 110+ different languages. And, even more than growth and profitability (although we’re plenty profitable), above all, we’re driven by a mission: We democratize publishing and commerce so anyone with a story can tell it, and anyone with a product can sell it, regardless of income, gender, politics, language, or country.

We believe in Open Source, and the vast majority of our work is available under the GPL.

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion at Automattic

We’re improving diversity in the tech industry. At Automattic, we want people to love their work and show respect and empathy to all. We welcome differences and strive to increase participation from traditionally underrepresented groups. Our DEI committee involves Automatticians across the company and drives grassroots change. For example, this group has helped facilitate private online spaces for affiliated Automatticians to gather and helps run a monthly DEI People Lab series for further learning. DEI is a priority at Automattic, though our dedication influences far more than just Automatticians: We make our products freely available and translate our products into and offer customer support in numerous languages. We require unconscious bias training for our hiring teams and ensure our products are accessible across different bandwidths and devices.

Automattic is a Most Loved Company and Disability Confident Committed. (Here’s what that might mean for you.) Learn more about our dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion and our Employee Resource Groups.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
