## Job description

The Opportunity We're looking for our first Solutions Architect to help bring vision into production. You'll work directly with our customers, helping them build exciting products with durable execution. You'll also help shape the future of Restate by bringing customer insights back to the team, influencing the product roadmap, and sharing what you're learning with the broader developer community through talks, demos, and other evangelism efforts. If you enjoy distributed systems, infrastructure, and solving difficult engineering problems alongside other engineers, we'd love to talk.

## Why Restate

Durable runtimes are becoming the next foundational infrastructure layer, especially for AI. Restate’s vision is to make durable execution efficient and lightweight to run. Restate is built by a team of world-class engineers - the creators of Apache Flink, leaders from Meta's messaging infrastructure, and senior engineers from AWS and Confluent. AI-native companies like Replit as well as Fortune 500 enterprises rely on Restate in production for their core applications. With a fresh $20M Series A fundraise by top tier investors and strong traction, we’re just getting started and are looking for people who share our vision and work ethos.

## The Role

You'll work directly with engineers, architects, and technical leaders to take Restate from initial evaluation to production. This is a highly technical role. You'll spend your time in architecture discussions, technical evaluations, prototypes, code, and production troubleshooting via white board. You'll help teams:

- Evaluate where durable execution fits into their architecture
- Design production systems with Restate
- Build proof-of-concepts and reference implementations
- Solve distributed systems and infrastructure challenges
- Deploy and operate Restate in production

You'll also bring what you learn back to Restate, shaping the product, improving developer experience, and turning recurring customer challenges into reusable tooling and patterns.

## What You'll Do

Architect & build

- Design production architectures with engineering teams
- Help solve problems around state, messaging, orchestration, and failure handling
- Build prototypes, integrations, and reference implementations
- Guide teams from evaluation through production
- Troubleshoot complex distributed systems and infrastructure issues

Shape Restate

- Bring technical feedback directly to engineering and product
- Turn recurring challenges into tooling, documentation, and best practices
- Contribute to technical demos, talks, and developer content

## What We're Looking For

We're looking for technically strong engineers and architects who enjoy solving complex infrastructure problems alongside other engineers.

Must Have

- Strong software engineering or solutions architecture background
- Experience with distributed, backend, or event-driven systems
- Strong understanding of system architecture and reliability
- Experience with a backend language such as Go, Java, Python, TypeScript, Rust, or C++
- Experience with cloud infrastructure and/or Kubernetes
- Ability to dive into code and troubleshoot technical issues

## Nice to Have

- Distributed databases, messaging systems, workflow engines, or infrastructure software
- Kubernetes, networking, observability, or cloud architecture
- AI infrastructure or production AI applications
- Rust or other systems programming experience
- Open-source or technical evangelism experience

Location

- United States (San Francisco Bay Area Preferred)
- Travel approximately one to two weeks per quarter

## Competitive Advantages
- **Lightweight and self-contained**: Single binary that can run locally, on Kubernetes, or on bare metal – no heavy dependencies or external orchestrators needed.
- **Durable execution without a PhD**: Simplifies building resilient distributed systems by automatically handling retries, state persistence, and failure recovery, lowering the complexity tax.
- **Multi-language SDKs**: First-class support for TypeScript, Python, Java, Kotlin, Go, Rust, enabling adoption across diverse tech stacks.
- **Open source**: Core runtime and SDKs are open source (Apache 2.0 or MIT), fostering community contributions and transparency.

## Strategic Focus
- **AI agent durability**: Building features for stateful AI agents, tool-using LLM workflows, and long-running conversations.
- **Distributed mode**: Expanding to high-throughput, high-availability workloads via distributed mode.
- **Growth of SDK ecosystem**: Continuous improvements to existing SDKs and potential new language support.
- **Enterprise adoption**: Growing customer base in banking, fintech, and developer infrastructure segments.
