Principal Solutions Architect – AI Onboarding
solo.io
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for a small portfolio of strategic accounts based in EMEA, developing deep familiarity with their use cases, architecture, teams, and business goals. • Lead technical issue resolution end-to-end, partnering with Support and Engineering on escalations and driving root-cause analysis. Provide hands-on troubleshooting within your accounts where it accelerates resolution and deepens customer trust. • Guide customers as they extend Solo.io products to support modern workloads — including AI and agentic use cases such as LLM gateways, agent-to-agent communication, and securing model traffic at scale. • Proactively drive product adoption by identifying new use cases and surfacing opportunities for customers to gain more value from the Solo.io product suite. • Consult with customers on architectural best practices, performance tuning, and operational excellence in their Solo.io deployments. • Design and deliver tailored training sessions, workshops, and enablement content to grow customer self-sufficiency. • Champion the customer inside Solo.io — translating their needs into actionable feedback for Product Management and Engineering. • Partner with the account team (CSM, AE, SE) to identify and manage technical risk, renewal health, and expansion opportunities.
Job Requirements
- 5+ years in a customer-facing technical role such as Solutions Architect, Customer Success Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer, or Senior Support Engineer.
- Deep expertise in cloud-native technologies, including Kubernetes, service mesh (e.g., Istio, Cilium), and API gateways and proxies (e.g., Envoy, Gloo Gateway).
- 1+ years of hands-on experience with AI/ML technologies — LLMs, agentic frameworks, model-serving platforms, or AI infrastructure.
- Proven track record managing technical relationships with large, strategic enterprise customers in a post-sales context.
- Excellent troubleshooting instincts and the ability to navigate complex, multi-team production environments.
- Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for audiences ranging from platform engineers to senior executives.
- Comfort with scripting or programming (e.g., Go, Python, Bash) for diagnostics, automation, and reference implementations.
- Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent industry experience.
Benefits
- Solo is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or protected veteran status and will not be discriminated against on the basis of disability.
