Principal Solutions Architect

Solo.io builds the industry-leading API and Service Mesh management platform (Gloo) to help companies connect, secure, and observe modern applications. We are seeking a senior, post-sales Principal Solutions Architect to be the primary technical owner for a small set of strategic accounts—driving deep product adoption, resolving technical issues, and acting as a trusted advisor to customers across the NORAM region. This remote role requires roughly 15% travel and Solo is unable to sponsor work visas at this time.

Skills

  • Deep expertise in cloud-native technologies, including Kubernetes and service mesh architectures.
  • Hands-on experience with API gateways and proxies (Envoy) and service mesh implementations (Istio or similar).
  • Proven post-sales customer-facing experience focused on adoption, troubleshooting, and technical enablement.
  • Strong problem-solving and incident triage skills.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication and presentation skills for technical and executive audiences.
  • Familiarity with scripting or programming (Go, Python, Bash) is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the primary technical point of contact for assigned strategic accounts and develop a deep understanding of their use cases, architecture, and goals.
  • Lead technical issue resolution and coordinate with support and engineering to ensure timely, effective solutions.
  • Proactively identify and drive product adoption opportunities and new use cases to increase customer value.
  • Consult with customers on best practices for deploying Solo.io products in their environments.
  • Design and deliver customer training sessions, workshops, and enablement materials.
  • Advocate for customer needs internally, providing product and engineering feedback to drive product improvements.
  • Collaborate with account teams to surface and manage risks and opportunities related to renewal and expansion.

Education

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Ongoing professional development in cloud-native technologies is desirable.

Benefits

  • Remote-first work model and flexible work arrangements
  • Competitive salary and equity opportunity (VC-backed company)
  • Collaborative, open-source and engineering-driven culture
  • Opportunities for professional development, training, and customer-facing technical leadership
  • Travel expectation ~15% for customer engagements and events
