Solutions Architect (Dallas)

Overview

About The Role We're looking for a Solutions Architect to join our Professional Services team. You\'ll work directly with enterprise customers to design, deploy, and optimize production-grade AI infrastructure and agent systems. You\'ll be responsible for architecting scalable, secure infrastructure deployments and building reliable, well-evaluated agent applications that solve real business problems. This role combines software development, infrastructure/platform engineering, and customer-facing skills. You\'ll work on everything from Kubernetes cluster design to multi-agent system architecture, requiring deep technical expertise across both infrastructure and agent engineering domains. This role offers direct impact on customer success, the opportunity to shape best practices, and work with cutting-edge AI technology. You\'ll join a collaborative team environment with a strong engineering culture.

About Us At LangChain, our mission is to make intelligent agents ubiquitous. We build the foundation for agent engineering in the real world, helping developers move from prototypes to production-ready AI agents that teams can rely on. We began as widely adopted open-source tools and have grown to also offer a platform for building, evaluating, deploying, and operating agents at scale. Today, LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith, and Agent Builder are used by teams shipping real AI products across startups and large enterprises. Millions of developers trust LangChain to power AI teams at companies like Replit, Clay, Coinbase, Workday, Lyft, Cloudflare, Harvey, Rippling, Vanta, and 35% of the Fortune 500 . With $125M raised at Series B from IVP, Sequoia, Benchmark, CapitalG, and Sapphire Ventures , we\'re at a stage where we\'re continuing to develop new products, growth is accelerating, and all team members have meaningful impact on what we build and how we work together. LangChain is a place where your contributions can shape how this technology shows up in the real world.
