What the job involves
- The Technical Architect supports internal teams, clients, and third parties as they integrate with the SeatGeek platform

- This role sits at the intersection of Product, Engineering, Solutions Architecture, Implementations, Data Services, Legal, and client-facing teams
- It requires sound technical judgment, strong organization, and the ability to turn ambiguity into repeatable processes, clear documentation, and scalable technical solutions
- Maintain a detailed understanding of client requirements, third-party integrations, SeatGeek system configuration, and the technical touchpoints that support successful client and partner outcomes
- Build and maintain a strong working knowledge of SeatGeek APIs, platform capabilities, and related technical workflows in order to support both internal teams and external partners with the data, access, and guidance they need
- Lead discovery for new third-party integrations, API requirements, and technical change requests by gathering requirements, assessing fit with existing solutions, identifying gaps, and recommending the most appropriate path forward
- Take ownership of third-party integration solutions and related technical processes, ensuring change requests are understood, documented, and supported through the right internal workflows
- Work with external partners and client-facing teams on configuration questions and technically complex scenarios related to the SeatGeek full stack, APIs, credentials, and platform behavior

- Manage and support technical access and provisioning workflows such as Developer Portal documentation access, Ringside sandbox access, Ringside credentials, Native Access Control credentials, SDK credentials, OAuth client provisioning, and related integration setup needs
- Support technical onboarding and steady-state ownership for Ringside and similar platform access patterns, including partner guidance, documentation, credentials, and operational process support
- Review scripts, workarounds, technical gaps, red flags, and bespoke scenarios raised by internal teams, and provide recommended solutions, best practices, and sign-off where appropriate
- Create, maintain, and improve documentation, blueprints, templates, onboarding notes, and process guides so that technical knowledge is scalable, current, and easier for the broader business to use
- Provide product and integration knowledge to internal teams such as Support, Implementations, and other client-facing groups, helping them navigate recurring questions and use the right technical pathways
- Help standardize and improve how SeatGeek handles integrations, technical onboarding, and repeatable support patterns by identifying opportunities for productization, clearer ownership, and better internal process design
