To democratize the cloud for every engineer.
Role
Who you are
- We are looking for a passionate Solutions Architect to bring Pulumi’s cloud programming model to the world
- 6+ years of experience in DevOps, Solutions Architecture, Consulting, or similar customer or partner-facing roles
- A commitment to user experience, partner optimization, and successful implementation of new products and integrations
- Deep familiarity with core web infrastructure, Open Source technologies, and public cloud platforms
- Experience with Pulumi, Terraform, CloudFormation, and/or similar technologies
- Experience with at least one of the following languages: TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, C#, Go, or Java
- Exceptional partner/stakeholder management and communication skills
- BS degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification or similar experience
What the job involves
- 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
- Expect to be challenged, learn, teach, and collaborate with a world-class team of great people
- Work with partners across their entire lifecycle - from recruiting (demos, answering inbound questions, executing proof of concepts) to post-launch (onboarding, technical reviews, account mapping)
- 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
Our take
The Infrastructure-as-code space is new and growing, thanks to the increasing complexity of cloud services, and their increasing adoption by developers and teams who would rather not manage them. Pulumi works to bring together infrastructure, developer, and security teams to help build and operate these cloud applications, better.
The service is compatible with all clouds and all major programming languages, meaning it’s casting its net appropriately wide to shore itself up against unpredictable new developments in the market. This breadth of scope saw Pulumi win 10x growth in adoption over 2019 alone, and the company has since expanded out into what it hopes will provide a more comprehensive cloud engineering platform. This means the addition of capabilities like governance and compliance features, testing support, and policy as code - all shoring up its already strong position in the space.
Also playing firmly in Pulumi’s favor is that it’s been built as cloud-native from the ground up, meaning that it has a head start on earlier infrastructure-as-code businesses that needed to pivot to accommodate new developments like serverless and multi-cloud tech. Plus, its multi-language compatibility means that silos don’t form so readily as they do with rival HashiCorp’s Terraform, which requires that developers learn a proprietary language.
