Solutions Architect

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.
