Description
Who We Are
Building the Backbone of Distributed Applications.
Orkes is building the platform that powers the next generation of enterprise applications and AI systems. Founded by the creators of the open-source Netflix Conductor orchestration platform, Orkes helps organizations build, deploy, and operate mission-critical workflows and AI agents at massive scale. Our platform combines workflow and agent orchestration, integrations, observability, and resilience into a unified developer experience, enabling teams to build and operate complex deterministic and agentic workflows with confidence. From global enterprises to fast-growing startups, customers rely on Orkes to automate business-critical processes and execute billions of workflow and agent executions with the reliability, visibility, and fault tolerance required for production systems.
We’re solving some of the hardest infrastructure problems: how do you make distributed systems reliable, observable, and scalable – without every team having to reinvent the wheel? We absorb the complexity of distributed systems, letting teams build with confidence.
We’re hiring a Solutions Architect to help us evolve and scale our platform. If you’re passionate about clean, efficient architecture, love solving tough distributed systems challenges, and thrive in an environment where your ideas actually shape the product then we’d love to talk.
And the best part is we’re just getting started.
What You’ll Do
- Become an expert on the Orkes platform to lead customers through training, adopting and implementing best practices for their orchestration journey
- Partner with the sales team to act as a technical advisor during the sales process
- Collaborate with the product team as an advocate of your customers in the field
- Help our customers to achieve tangible data-driven outcomes through the use of the Orkes platform, establishing a clear architectural vision and identifying compelling use cases so as to realize value
- Find solutions to our customers' biggest challenges in orchestration and application development in various business domains including logistics, fintech, cyber security, healthcare and cross vertical use cases like application modernization, performance scaling, and resilience
- Engage with the technical community by leading workshops, seminars and meet-ups
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in software engineering, cloud architecture and customer-facing roles
- Understanding of business processes across multiple industries, geographies and technical domains
- Understanding of system design patterns, distributed systems, microservices, and cloud-native architecture
- Experience with integrations using REST and messaging systems (Kafka, MQ, etc.)
- Language proficiency in Java
- Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for learning new technologies
- A collaborative mindset—we win as a team
Bonus Points
- Experience with orchestration engines or workflow systems (e.g., Conductor, Camunda, Temporal)
- Contributions to open-source projects
Why You’ll Love Working at Orkes
- You’ll be working on real and difficult problems that developers face every day
- You’ll join a team that thinks deeply about the systems we build and the people who rely on them
- We’re a fast-growing team backed by top-tier investors and used by some of the world’s biggest companies
- Remote-friendly, flexible working hours, a global team and a strong culture of trust and ownership
- You’ll have a huge impact on the direction of our technology and our company
