About affinidi
- Affinidi is a technology company dedicated to changing data ownership for good. We empower businesses and individuals with control and ownership of their data, with a comprehensive approach to managing their holistic identity – accounting for all aspects of their digital footprint while ensuring privacy and security.
- Affinidi’s technology enables users to benefit from decentralised digital identity solutions. We believe that everyone has the right to own and control their data, and we are committed to creating a trusted digital credentials ecosystem that empowers businesses and individuals to securely exchange data and services across borders and industries.
- We are looking for a Lead Solutions Architect who will serve as the technical anchor for our GTM presence in the SEA & Greater China region combining hands-on engineering, customer engagement, solution design, and ecosystem development.
- This customer-facing role is about shaping how Affinidi’s trust infrastructure comes to life in Southeast Asia, with Singapore as the base and flexibility to travel. You will help customers adapt to a new software design paradigm where trust is built into interactions, not assumed within systems. This involves designing systems with verifiable and portable identity, permissions, and data, and built-in governance, rather than adding it later.
- You won’t inherit a playbook. You will help create it alongside a high-energy, cross-functional team. You will support early experimentation, guide technical validation, and lead solution implementation.
- You will work across a wide spectrum from early-stage startups to large enterprises with complex systems and stakeholders. The goal is to compress the distance between “this is interesting concept” and “we know how this works for the customer” turning early signals into working solutions fast and feeding those insights into GTM strategy and product direction.
