As a Cloud Solutions Architect, you will join our field team to deliver world-class technical solutions to customer and prospect business problems. In this role, you will be exposed to a wide range of use cases where Apache Airflow sits at the center of the solution. The impacts you will make will enable customers to rapidly grow their businesses by adopting Astronomer products to meet their goals.

• Guiding our largest and most complex customers in their Apache Airflow journeys.
• Acting as the core interface between the Customer, Sales, and Product to ensure that the broader solution around the platform is solving pain points and bringing value to customers.

Required Qualifications

You'll be an experienced engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges. You will need to be a versatile Terminal and CLI user, as this will be a hands-on role frequently without access to a GUI.

You'll ideally have experience with:

• Strong Kubernetes experience (GKE/EKS/AKS or OpenShift preferred).
• Expertise in at least one programming language.
• Good understanding of network complexities and architectures.
• Setting up and troubleshooting distributed systems.
• Complex SaaS infrastructure operating at scale.
• At least one major cloud provider API/tooling.
• Ability to read code and work effectively with git.
• Cloud-native data architecture experience.
• Strong customer-facing skills.
• Strong oral and written communications skills, with the ability to explain complex technical issues to non-technical folks succinctly.

Desirable Experience

We're particularly interested if you also have experience with:

• Prior experience using or administering Apache Airflow, Autosys, UC4, Temporal, Dagster, or Prefect.
• Proficiency in Python or Go.
• Enterprise data experience in regulated environments.
• Scripting and automation specifically for infrastructure (Pulumi, Terraform, Ansible, etc.).
• 5+ years of experience in a data engineering role or equivalent.
• 3+ years in a customer-facing role.
• ElasticSearch, Prometheus, or Vault.

Benefits & Compensation

Although this role is remote, you need to be able to cover EST working hours and travel for customer and internal meetings.

The estimated total compensation for this role ranges from $175,000 - $240,000 based on leveling and geography, along with an equity component and a comprehensive benefits package. This range is merely an estimate; actual compensation may deviate from this range based on skills, experience, and qualifications.
