> Serve as a trusted advisor to enterprise customers, leading pre-sales technical discoveries and managing full-lifecycle support. Act as a bridge between Sales, Product, and Community to ensure technical success, drive product feedback, and advocate for the open-source community.

## Job description

Location: Remote

Type: Full-time

## ABOUT KESTRA

Kestra is the open-source declarative orchestration platform that simplifies complex data workflows and business processes. We bridge the gap between engineering and business logic, allowing teams to build, scale, and monitor their pipelines with ease. As we scale our Enterprise offering, we are looking for a technical powerhouse who can guide our customers from their first POC to long-term architectural success.

In March 2026, we closed a $25M Series A led by RTP Global, with participation from Alven, ISAI, and Axeleo – backed by founders from Datadog, dbt Labs, and Hugging Face.

## THE ROLE

As a Customer Success / Solution Engineer, you will sit at the intersection of Sales, Product, and Community. You aren't just a support person; you are a Trusted Advisor. You will be responsible for the technical success of our Enterprise customers while acting as a bridge to our vibrant open-source community.

Whether it’s architecting a complex deployment for a Fortune 500 company or unblocking a community member on Slack, you are the face of Kestra’s technical excellence.

## WHAT YOU’LL DO

🚀 Pre-Sales & Solutions

- Lead Pre-Sales Opportunities: Partner with the sales team to lead technical discovery, understand prospect requirements, and position Kestra Enterprise effectively.
- Enterprise Evaluations: Own the Proof of Concept (POC) process. You will be responsible for the POC success plan; advising on architecture, success criteria and flow design to ensure our prospects realise the value of Kestra in record time.
- Technical Evangelism: Demonstrate the technical advantages of our declarative, universal orchestrator and how it outshines legacy orchestrators.

🤝 Customer Success

- Full 360 Ownership: Support existing customers throughout their entire lifecycle—from initial onboarding and training to quarterly architectural reviews.
- Elite Technical Support: Own escalations for our Enterprise accounts. You’ll partner with our engineering team to diagnose complex issues and drive them to resolution by communicating clearly with customers, documenting learnings, and building processes or automations to avoid these in future.
- Continuous Product Feedback: Translate real-world customer friction into product requirements. You are the "Voice of the Customer," helping our developers prioritise the roadmap based on actual field data.
- Unblock & Optimise: Identify technical bottlenecks in customer environments and provide best-practice guidance on scaling, managing resources, and securely running the platform.
- Expansion & Use-Cases: Proactively find new internal use-cases for customers, helping them to expand their Kestra footprint from data engineering to infrastructure automation, Agentic AI orchestration and more.

🌐 Community & Product Advocacy

- OSS Engagement: Be an active member of our open-source community. Advise users on Slack/GitHub and turn their feedback into product improvements.
- Brand Ambassadorship: Represent Kestra at meetups, conferences and webinars. Create technical content such as blogs, "How-to" videos, and blueprints to help the ecosystem grow.
- Engineering Liaison: Work closely with our core engineering team to prioritise features and resolve critical support issues in a timely fashion.

## WHAT YOU BRING

- The Hybrid Skillset: You have the "Engineer" mind but the "Consultant" heart. You can code, but you also love talking to people.
- Vertical Domain Expertise: Deep experience in at least one of the following:
- Data Engineering: You’ve built production-grade pipelines using tools like dbt, Spark, Snowflake, or DuckDB.
- Infrastructure-as-Code (Platform Engineering): You are a pro with Terraform/OpenTofu, Kubernetes, and CI/CD patterns.
- AI/MLOps: You understand the lifecycle of LLMs, vector databases, and the orchestration required to move models from notebook to production.
- Data/Orchestration Background: Experience with tools like Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster is a huge plus. You understand the "pain" of orchestration.
- Problem Solver: You don’t just report bugs; you find workarounds and suggest long-term architectural fixes.
- Communication: Ability to explain complex infrastructure concepts to both a CTO and a Junior Data Analyst.

WHY JOIN KESTRA?

- Remote-First: Work from anywhere with a flexible schedule.
- High Impact: You’ll be one of the first hires in this department, helping define the "Field Engineering" playbook.
- Open Source: We believe in the power of community. Your work will be visible and impactful to thousands of users globally.
- Modern Stack: Work with the latest in cloud-native technologies, AI agents, and high-performance orchestration.

## About Kestra Technologies

## Company Overview

- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Paris, France
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Emmanuel Darras (CEO), Ludovic Dehon (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Workflow Orchestration, Data Infrastructure, Developer Tools, AI Operations
- **Target customers**: B2B – Data engineers, platform engineers, software engineers, and enterprise IT teams
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Unify orchestration for all engineers. Build, run and govern all your workflows — data, AI, infrastructure, and business — Everything-as-Code, from the UI and with AI."

## Products & Services
- **Kestra Open Source**: A free, self-hosted orchestration engine (Apache 2.0 license) that runs on Docker or Kubernetes. Workflows are defined in declarative YAML, support any language (Python, Bash, Node.js, Go, containers), and connect to 1,600+ plugins.
- **Kestra Cloud**: A fully managed SaaS version of the platform, offering fast time-to-value with pay-as-you-go pricing.
- **Kestra Enterprise Edition**: Built for critical environments with SSO, RBAC, audit logs, multi-tenancy, isolated workers, SLA-backed support, and hybrid deployment (cloud, on-prem, air-gapped). Includes AI Copilot for natural-language workflow generation and agentic orchestration.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of $36M across three rounds (Pre-Seed $3M, Seed $8M, Series A $25M)
- **Notable Investors**: RTP Global (led Series A), Alven (led Seed round), and a roster of prominent angel investors including Clément Delangue (CEO, Hugging Face), Nicolas Dessaigne (Founder, Algolia / YC Partner), Olivier Pomel (CEO, Datadog), Tristan Handy (CEO, dbt Labs), Michel Tricot (CEO, Airbyte), Pierre Burgy (CEO, Strapi), Bertrand Diard (Co-Founder, Talend), Stijn Christiaens (Co-Founder, Collibra), and Frédéric Plais (CEO, Platform.sh).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Unified orchestration**: Replaces multiple legacy tools (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster, CI/CD schedulers, cron) with a single platform for data, AI, and infrastructure workflows – reducing tooling cost by up to 90%.
- **Declarative YAML + UI**: Workflows are version-controlled YAML, but can also be built in a UI (no-code forms) – both stay in sync, enabling collaboration between developers and non-developers.
- **AI-native**: Built-in production AI Copilot generates/refines workflows from natural language, and AI Agents with memory and tools can dynamically adapt execution.
- **API-first / CI/CD native**: Fully programmable via API and Terraform, enabling Git-driven CI/CD for workflow deployment.
- **Enterprise governance**: Retries, timeouts, SLAs, RBAC, audit logs, SOC 2, and isolated task runners – built for production reliability.

## Strategic Focus
- **Agentic automation**: Deepening AI-native capabilities with context-aware agents that can loop, adapt, and make decisions mid-workflow.
- **Enterprise adoption**: Scaling the Enterprise Edition with enhanced governance, multi-tenancy, and hybrid/air-gapped deployments for regulated industries (banking, defense, healthcare).
- **Ecosystem expansion**: Growing the plugin library (1,600+) and blueprints (250+) to connect with more data, cloud, and SaaS tools.
- **Global team growth**: Hiring aggressively (24 open roles) across engineering, sales, customer operations, and marketing, with a remote-first, distributed structure.

## Why Work Here
- **Remote-first**: Fully distributed team – work from anywhere (employees in 10 countries including France, US, UK, Germany, India, Serbia, Spain, Slovenia, Nigeria, Ireland).
- **Flexible hours**: "Flexibility in schedule to be there for life’s important moments" – strong emphasis on work/life balance with a generous vacation policy.
