Overview

Solution Architect — Sales, UK, Senior, Full-time

Description

Why Komodor?

Komodor is on a mission to redefine how engineering teams detect, investigate and remediate cloud native deployments at scale by creating the industry’s first AI SRE assistant.

Kubernetes promises agility, elasticity, reliability and high availability, but it also introduces complexity, high operational overhead, and cost overruns due to over provisioning of workloads. Traditional observability only surfaces the “what” — Komodor goes further by delivering the “why”, “where” and the “how”; providing a full platform to detect, investigate and remediate while optimizing workloads.

By combining our deep Kubernetes expertise with our AI-driven root cause analysis engine, Klaudia, Komodor empowers enterprises, from top financial institutions to global webscale companies to:

• Troubleshoot faster with intelligent guidance and context-rich RCA.
• Prevent incidents by proactively detecting misconfigurations, scaling issues, and inefficiencies.
• Optimize cost and performance through automated right-sizing and bin-packing recommendations.
• Enable every developer, SRE, and platform engineer to operate Kubernetes like an expert, without needing years of tribal knowledge.

Our Goal: Make day-2 Kubernetes operations reliable, efficient, and cost-optimized — so teams can focus on shipping features, not firefighting infrastructure.

What Will You Do?

As a Solutions Engineer at Komodor, you will take the lead in helping customers realize the value of our solutions by linking the customer’s core business initiatives to the Komodor platform. You understand the challenges of developers, DevOps and Incident response teams working with Kubernetes.

You will be responsible for helping bring on new customers as well as help expand our existing customer base. You will work closely with Sales, CX, and leadership to drive excellence in execution on qualified opportunities. You will be the voice and face of Komodor at events in the CNCF community.

You’ll build technical champions at prospects and customers, advising them on how to be successful with their cloud native initiatives. You’ll train and enable developers to self-serve issues in their build and release process.

Most importantly, at Komodor you will be challenged, learn, teach, and collaborate with a fun team of people building an amazing culture together.
