Solutions Engineer - Kubernetes

About Antithesis

We provide a platform that helps engineering teams identify and resolve bugs that traditional testing approaches miss. Antithesis runs your entire system in a deterministic simulation, breaks it in every way imaginable, and hands you a root cause and a perfect reproduction — no flaky tests, no false positives, no "works on my machine". This allows engineering teams to debug faster and ship with greater confidence.

The rise of AI-generated code has made what we do more important than ever. Agents can write code faster than any human — but faster code isn't better code if it's buggy, stuck in review, or if issues slip through the cracks undetected. The verification bottleneck is real, and it's growing. This is exactly the problem Antithesis exists to solve. We've been quietly reinventing how the world thinks about software reliability, and we're just getting started.

We're well-funded, deeply technical, and building a platform that tackles one of the most complex yet important problems in modern software engineering. If that sounds like fun to you, keep reading.

About the Role

We’re looking for an unconventional thinker, a boredom fighter, and an agent of chaos. You will be deploying the arsenal of tools and technologies from the Antithesis platform to find bugs and break our customers’ software. You will be able to articulate and convince future customers about the new paradigm of software testing and reliability brought by Antithesis.

This position is fully onsite, requiring 5 days per week in the office based in Vienna, VA.

What You'll Do:

• Lead technical discovery and scoping for customer Kubernetes deployments

• Drive Proof-of-Concept (POC) engagements that demonstrate Antithesis's value to new customers

• Help customers implement their Kubernetes setups within the Antithesis simulation environment

• Enable the broader customer experience team on Kubernetes topics through training, documentation, and pairing

• Establish SOPs, processes, and best practices for Kubernetes implementation within Antithesis

• Partner with internal and external stakeholders to further integrate Antithesis features with Kubernetes environments

• Continuously optimize the Kubernetes experience within Antithesis

• Work with Engineering and Product to drive and prioritize features to improve our Kubernetes offering based on input and experience from customer engagements
  

Who You Are:

• Highly technical — and, more importantly, technically curious

• Energized by new challenges and new technologies

• Eager to learn and quick to absorb unfamiliar systems

• Comfortable in fast-moving environments with tight timelines

• A strong communicator, both written and verbal

• A collaborative teammate who thrives on a small, highly skilled team

• Professional but flexible — you can roll with the pace of a startup

Preferred Skills and Experiences:

• Containerization — Docker and Kubernetes

• Object-oriented programming in at least one language

• Linux-based operating systems

• Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD)

• 3+ years of experience deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters of varying sizes

• Experience with custom operators and CRDs

• Experience with local Kubernetes environments (k3s, Minikube, kind, etc.)

Please note, this role will require some travel (client site, conferences, Antithesis Offices)
