Portworx is a cloud native platform that enterprises depend on to reduce the cost and complexity of rapidly deploying containerized applications across multiple clouds and on-prem environments. By providing a single standard that works across the environment, we reduce the operating cost of kubernetes, unlock more use cases, respond and pivot to changes due to economic, regulatory and/or business impacts and make it easier to modernize applications, delight developers, and deliver innovation. Via Portworx, you can manage any database or stateful service on any infrastructure using any container scheduler. You get a single data management layer for all of your stateful services, no matter where they run. And we thrive in multi-cloud environments. We are looking for Kubernetes experts to help our team capture this massive and rapidly growing market opportunity. This architect role will serve as the vanguard of the "Kubernetes Everywhere" movement. There's no safe harbor here for those that can't, don't, or won't. There's also no room for those that put "I" ahead of "We". We are customer first, we lead with integrity, and recognize that unlocking achievement requires engagement across the full spectrum of co-selling partners. We are builders, creators, and helping define the next generation of the world's best modern data platform at Pure., The Portworx Cloud Native Architect is a customer-facing role responsible for providing deep technical and business expertise to customers who want to run stateful applications in containers and automate "Day 2" data management workflows. This role requires candidates to be located in the NY/NJ area and willing to work from our NYC office two days per week. ## Related Videos - [How I saved 200K/yr in direct costs writing 0 code lines in K8s](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1055-how-i-saved-200k-yr-in-direct-costs-writing-0-code-lines-in-k8s) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [WebAssembly: The Next Frontier of Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/972-webassembly-the-next-frontier-of-cloud-computing) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Developing locally with Kubernetes - a Guide and Best Practices](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/851-developing-locally-with-kubernetes-a-guide-and-best-practices) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Learning Kubernetes made easy with KubeCampus](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/348-learning-kubernetes-made-easy-with-kubecampus) - [What Makes WeAreDevelopers World Congress Different From Every Other Tech Event?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/701-what-makes-wearedevelopers-world-congress-different-from-every-other-tech-event) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026)
