# Professional Services | Solutions Architect

- **Company:** Tetrate.io, Inc.
- **Location:** New York, NY, United States
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Continuous Integration, Data Security, OAuth, Istio, Terraform
- **Published:** October 15, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.com/details/5883511088

## About the Role

* Deep experience designing distributed/cloud native architectures in regulated or large enterprise environments.

 * Strong knowledge of service mesh concepts and production gateway patterns (Istio/Envoy ecosystem preferred).

 * Ability to translate complex architecture into executive appropriate narratives and clear implementation guidance.

Nice to have

 * Workload identity and zero trust primitives (SPIFFE/SPIRE, policy engines, service identity patterns).

 * AI adjacent governance patterns for tool/data access (MCP awareness + OAuth-based authorisation posture).

## Description

As a Professional Services Solutions Architect, you will partner with platform and security architects to design scalable, resilient adoption of Tetrate across multi cluster, hybrid, and multi tenant environments. You will set the patterns, governance, and architectural guardrails that allow customers to expand adoption without linear delivery effort.

What you will do

 * Lead architecture workshops and design reviews for enterprise deployments covering control plane topology, tenancy, onboarding patterns, and organisational governance.

 * Define policy and security approaches for service to service and ingress/egress traffic (authentication, authorisation, identity integration, auditability).

 * Advise on observability integration (metrics/logs/traces) and operational readiness (SLOs, incident response, upgrade strategy) for service mesh and gateway footprints.

 * Create reusable reference architectures and decision frameworks that PS Solutions Engineers, TAMs, and Sales Engineers can standardise on.

 * Deliver architecture level training for customer platform/security leadership and core implementers.

 * Accelerate the adoption with pragmatic templates and automation (Helm/Terraform/GitOps), working with customer tooling standards and CI/CD workflows

What success looks like in the first 6 months

 * At least one reference architecture (or adoption blueprint) is used across multiple customers, reducing bespoke design variance.

 * Customers have a viable, governed path to expand the platform across teams/clusters (multi tenant, multi cluster, hybrid).

 * Security and identity controls are clearly defined, testable, and operationalised (e.g., policy templates, identity approach, audit posture).

 * Customer teams can operate core workflows independently (traffic management, policy changes, upgrades, incident response runbooks), reducing repeated PS intervention.
