Dataiku is looking for an experienced Architect to join its Field Engineering Team as a Pre-Sales Solutions Architect. This position will support the deployment of Dataiku’s Everyday AI Platform to an ever growing customer base.
As a Pre-Sales Solutions Architect, you’ll work with customers at the Pre-Sales stage of their relationship with Dataiku - aiding in conversations with IT and Security teams, helping customers deploy evaluation software in their environments, determining target architectures for post-sale implementations, and more.

If you are interested in staying at the bleeding edge of big data and AI while maintaining a strong working knowledge of existing enterprise systems, this will be a great fit for you.
In this role you will:
- Evangelize the challenges of building Enterprise Data Science Platforms to technical and non-technical audiences
- Understand customer requirements in terms of scalability, availability and security and provide architecture recommendations
- Deploy Dataiku in a large variety of evaluation technical environments (on prem/cloud, kubernetes, spark, hadoop …)
- Design and build reference architectures, decks, scripts and diagrams to make the deployment and maintenance of Dataiku smooth and easy
- Coordinate with Revenue and Customer teams to deliver a consistent experience and message to our customers
- Train our clients and partners in the art and science of administering a bleeding-edge Elastic AI platform
- Drive technical success by being a trusted advisor to our prospects and our internal account teams to provide the best recommendations and advance customer accounts
You might be a good fit if you have:
- Strong Linux system administration experience
- Hands-on experience with the Kubernetes ecosystem for setup, administration, troubleshooting and tuning
- Experience with cloud based services like AWS, GCP, and Azure
- Grit when faced with technical issues. You don’t rest until you understand why it does not work

- Hands-on experience with the Hadoop and/or Spark ecosystem for setup, administration, troubleshooting and tuning
- Some experience with Python
- Familiarity with Ansible or other application deployment tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc)
- Ability to overcome security and architecture roadblocks coming from prospect IT through a deep knowledge of Dataiku and the surrounding environment
Bonus points for any of these:
- Experience with authentication and authorization systems like LDAP, Kerberos, AD, and IAM
- Experience debugging networking issues such as DNS resolutions, proxy settings, and security groups
- Some knowledge in data science and/or machine learning
- Some knowledge of Java
