Solutions Engineer

About Tigris

Tigris is reshaping the future of object storage beyond $BigCloud. With no egress fees and globally consistent low-latency access, our service helps developers move fast and scale easily, especially in AI/ML, data infra, and multicloud environments.

This role

We’re hiring a Solutions Engineer based in the Bay Area to represent Tigris in person—at events and in the broader developer and data communities. This role is all about building relationships: you’ll meet engineers, understand their architecture and pain points, and help them see how Tigris fits into their stack.

You’ll organize and attend meetups and events, give demos and talks, and serve as the technical face of Tigris in the field. If you love connecting with people, solving infrastructure challenges, and helping developers make better architectural decisions, this role is for you.

What we’re doing now

We’re investing in community and in-person engagement to better support developers building real-world systems. We’re already seeing strong interest in Tigris from AI, ML, and data engineering teams—especially those working across cloud boundaries. Now we’re ready to meet them where they are: at meetups, at conferences, and out in the world.

What you'll do

• Attend and organize Bay Area events, meetups, and small developer gatherings
• Build relationships with the Data + AI community
• Identify customer needs and provide architecture guidance using Tigris
• Deliver in-person meetup talks, demos, and MC events
• Collect product feedback from the field and share it with engineering and product teams
• Support early customer trials and help teams go from proof-of-concept to production
• Represent Tigris in-person at conferences, hackathons, and partner events
  

You’ll know you’re succeeding if

• You’ve helped developers choose Tigris by showing them how it fits their architecture
• You’re regularly invited to speak, present, or advise by developer groups in the Bay Area
• Early customers cite you as instrumental in their success with Tigris
• The product team acts on your field feedback to improve key workflows
• You’ve built a local community of developers who trust and support each other—and Tigris
  

This job might be for you if

• You’re an engineer who enjoys talking to other engineers and solving architecture problems
• You’ve worked with cloud-native apps, storage systems, or distributed infrastructure, and you’re excited about AI and AI infrastructure
• You love showing up to events, learning what people are building, and finding ways to help
• You’re comfortable giving demos and whiteboarding technical concepts live
• You’re proactive, personable, and excited to build community from the ground up
• You’re based in the Bay Area and available for regular in-person engagements
