Addepar supports clients worldwide with offices in New York City, Salt Lake City, London, Edinburgh, Pune, Dubai, Geneva, Singapore and São Paulo. 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 design—enabling 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. Addepar takes a market-based approach to pay. A successful candidate’s starting pay will be determined based on the role, job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target base salary for roles in Colorado, California, and New York. The current range for this role is $110,000 - $137,000 (base salary) + bonus + equity + benefits. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process. Additionally, these ranges reflect the base salary only, and do not include bonus, equity, or benefits. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States for any employer without requiring current or future visa sponsorship (for example, employment-based visas such as H-1B, F-1/OPT, or similar), and must be authorized to begin work in the U.S. on their first day of employment.
