About the position

We are looking for a passionate Solutions Architect to bring Pulumi’s cloud programming model to the world. You will be a part of realizing a vision where every developer can program the cloud. In this partner-facing technical role, you will be the center of activity in teaching potential partners about Pulumi, validating partner integrations and solutions, and training our newest partners. It will be your job to take the shared vision of a joint solution with a partner and help to make it customer-ready: from assessing an integration, scoping out engineering and product requirements for delivering a joint scenario, building customized product and go-to-market plans, and working internally and externally to ensure our customers are happily using Pulumi with partner integrations and solutions.

• Listen and respond; build and advise on the best technical choices for our partners.
• Onboard new partners, training them on Pulumi best practices and advising on migrations from other infrastructure tools.
• Close the loop between partners, product, and engineering teams, championing the product to partners and bringing their requirements to the Pulumi roadmap.
• Be challenged, solve new problems, teach about our technologies, and figure out new, better ways to delight our customers.
• Bring Pulumi to more users by building demos and tech talks and writing technical blog posts to highlight partner integrations and solutions.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in DevOps, Solutions Architecture, Consulting, or similar customer or partner-facing roles.
