Are Solutions Architect Roles Remote Right Now and What to Expect in Interviews?

In most cases, Solutions Architects operate in a hybrid model. While they may not be fully remote, they often do have some flexibility. Just keep in mind that this can depend on your specific leadership. Some departments might be stricter about return-to-office policies than others.

Officially, everyone is expected to return to the office, but that might not be strictly enforced for Solutions Architects, especially if you're customer-facing. Still, I wouldn't walk in expecting much leeway. It's a pretty mixed bag depending on your organization.

For now, it seems that no new Solutions Architect positions are being hired remotely. If you're already in a remote position, you might be good to go, but generally, if assigned to an office, you'll need to be in-person unless you're traveling to meet customers. It really varies by team, though, so clarify that with your interviewer.
