Principal / Senior Solutions Engineer - Mid-Stack & AI Platform

Job Description
We are seeking a Solutions Engineer - AI Platform for a Full-Time role based in California. Our client is a well-capitalized, high-growth enterprise infrastructure and compute platform provider engineering large-scale, multi-vendor accelerator environments. Their core software platform focuses on orchestration, distributed cluster management, platform abstraction, and high-efficiency workload scaling to optimize high-performance compute resources for enterprise teams.

This is an exceptional ground-floor opportunity to join an expanding commercial team as the primary technical bridge between complex infrastructure orchestration and enterprise engineering teams. The #1 feature of this opportunity is the chance to shape platform abstraction at immense physical scale: you will work directly alongside sales leadership to engage enterprise platform architects, lead technical discovery, and demonstrate how modern orchestration simplifies large-scale accelerated computing.

We are looking for an adaptable, customer-facing platform technologist with strong Kubernetes and distributed systems fundamentals who aspires to grow into technical leadership. You will join a culture built on technical excellence, mutual trust, continuous skill development, and sustainable work-life balance.

Required Skills & Experience
5+ years of experience in pre-sales engineering, solutions architecture, or customer-facing platform/systems engineering. Deep technical mastery of containerization and orchestration at scale, specifically enterprise Kubernetes (K8s) and high-performance scheduler integrations. Hands-on architectural experience with large-scale accelerator infrastructure, multi-node clustering, and workload abstraction across diverse hardware environments.

Familiarity with distributed storage integrations, cluster telemetry, and low-latency networking concepts supporting compute-intensive platforms. Proven ability to co-own commercial opportunities with enterprise account executives, leading technical qualification, proofs-of-concept (PoCs), and architecture design sessions. Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to articulate architectural trade-offs to senior engineering leaders and C-level decision-makers.

Desired Skills & Experience
Experience with platform tooling across multi-tenant enterprise environments, MLOps orchestration stacks, or high-performance schedulers (e.g., Slurm, Ray, Kubernetes operators).
Prior background at enterprise software companies, cloud-native infrastructure providers, or specialized cloud environments.
Hands-on scripting and automation capability (Python, Go, Bash, Terraform, or Helm).
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
