Job description

Cloud computing is the future of computing, and yet today, that future is restricted to a rental-only service provider model that excludes the on-premises economy. Oxide has built a vertically integrated, rack-level cloud computer, delivering the efficiencies, automation, and developer experience of the cloud in a form that businesses can own. We’re seeking Solutions Architects to serve as a senior technical voice in customer engagements, with prospects, and with partners.

As a Solutions Architect working at Oxide you will:

• Serve as Oxide’s technical representative to the customer’s application development, IT operations, and DevSecOps teams to help them evaluate, technically validate, adopt, migrate, operate, and then scale workloads onto Oxide.
• Provide technical support for customer programs and initiatives for Oxide while working among application development, IT operations, DevSecOps, cloud operations and migrations teams for efforts like application migration planning, readiness reviews, observability analysis, etc. Prior experience with cloud migrations is helpful but not required.
• Possess a very strong knowledge and understanding of both on-premises and cloud infrastructure including compute, virtualization, containerization, network, storage technologies, infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, and DevSecOps technologies based on industry and previous experience.
• Ensure Oxide is positioned as a strategic partner in target and customer accounts by working as a trusted advisor to the entire IT organization among the CIO, CISO, application development, operations, security, architecture, and administration teams.

You will thrive in this role if you:

• Have 8+ years in enterprise infrastructure, cloud, or systems architecture roles; prior experience as Solutions Engineer or Solutions Architect is strongly preferred.
• Possess deep expertise across cloud, compute, storage, and security architectures with a proven track record of executive-level customer engagement and influencing large technology decisions.
• Have exceptional communication, presentation, and storytelling abilities combined with strong business orientation that enables you to link technology vision to business value effectively.
• Are comfortable working in startup and scale-up environments with the pace and ambiguity that comes with building a generational company.
• Have hands‑on keyboard experience as a platform or enterprise architect with direct involvement in architecting and executing cloud migrations including preparation, planning, and execution phases.
• Are familiar with application rationalization and disposition strategies such as retire, refactor, and lift‑and‑shift approaches with proven ability to lead execution phases and convince leadership teams to back critical migration strategies.
• Understand both cloud and on‑premises infrastructure realities deeply and can navigate the complexities of enterprise technology transformation.
• Get excited about being the technical voice shaping billion‑dollar enterprise transformations and working alongside world‑class engineers and executives.
• Take responsibility for representing technical excellence at the highest levels and building lasting strategic partnerships.
• Don’t mind coworkers getting really excited about decades‑old computers.
