We aim to dramatically reduce deployment time and operational complexity by removing server and infrastructure management for businesses and developers.

We are focused on a developer-led approach, our acquisition is purely organic, and developer adoption is crucial to the success of our mission.

As a fully-remote distributed team, we hire all-around Europe and have our headquaters in Paris, France. We offer attractive compensation with equity.

We are funded by top-tier investors and have plenty of runway to build a tremendous experience for developers.

What you’ll do

As our first Solutions Engineer, you will empower AI-intensive companies, SaaS providers, and ISVs managing large infrastructures by providing technical expertise and architecting tailored solutions that leverage our platform’s unique capabilities.

This is a key role focused on growing our customer base in France and Europe, through a mix of inbound and outbound connections with demanding technical stakeholders that need trustworthy platforms to support 24/7 operation.

You will work with key decision-makers in development teams and enterprises, helping them understand how our solutions can accelerate their deployment, improve their infrastructure efficiency, and accelerate their growth.

You will:

  • Conduct Technical Discovery: Engage with prospects to evaluate their environments, understand their challenges, and propose tailored architectures that harness Koyeb’s high-performance, serverless infrastructure.

  • Deliver Impactful Demos & POCs: Lead technical demonstrations and develop proof-of-concept projects that clearly showcase how our platform can accelerate deployments and streamline infrastructure management.

  • Lead Customer Onboarding: Coordinate and conduct comprehensive onboarding sessions to ensure a smooth transition, effective adoption, and integration of our platform from day one.

  • Serve as a Trusted Advisor: Work closely with technical stakeholders—from developers to CTOs—to advise on integration best practices, performance optimization, and scalability.

  • Develop Technical Resources: Create reference architectures, technical documentation, and best practices to assist customers in deploying and managing their applications.

  • Attend Industry Events: Represent Koyeb at events, webinars, and conferences, demonstrating our platform’s technical strengths and thought leadership.

  • Relay Customer Feedback: Provide critical insights to our engineering and product teams to drive continuous improvement and shape our roadmap.

  • Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with our sales, DevRel, and product teams to understand customer requirements and translate them into robust technical solutions.

  • Document Your Engagements: Use our CRM (Hubspot) to track interactions, document technical requirements, and ensure a seamless customer journey.

As the key technical points of contact with users, you’ll be instrumental in shaping how customers perceives our company and will work closely with our team to refine our global approach.

You’ll be part of our small GTM team composed of 3 people and you’ll work daily with our co-founders Yann, CEO and Edouard, CPO.

You’ll succeed if you:

  • Identify business opportunities and relevant solutions in all inbound leads and in technical discovery calls, focusing on organizations that would benefit from our serverless architecture for AI workloads and fleet management.

  • Develop and maintain strong, trusted relationships with key stakeholders and decision-makers, including C-level executives, CTOs, and engineering leaders.

  • Present and demonstrate the platform's capabilities, clearly articulating how it meets customer needs for scalability, cost-effectiveness, and reduced operational complexity.

  • Create reference architectures, technical documentation, and best practices to assist customers in deploying and managing their applications, support customer onboarding, and ensure a smooth customer journey.

  • Collect and relay customer feedback to the product and engineering teams to improve the platform and meet evolving customer needs.

How we work

This is a full-time position based in our main office at Station F in Paris, France.

We offer a standard full-time contract with comprehensive health coverage and competitive benefits.

We’re looking for an experimented sales professional and the total salary ranges from €60k to €75k, plus equity.

Some context about Koyeb:

  • We’re a really small team, currently 12 (in the whole company). We’re composed of 90% of technical people and the resulting 10% catch the technical side.

  • We’re building a product used by developers and are interacting daily with our developers’ community - which are our users.

  • All our communications, internal and public, are in English. We are a global company, currently headquartered in France, Europe.

  • We’re prioritizing work that has a direct impact on user experience and expect you to think first about impact. Our long-term mission doesn’t change, but you need to be willing to work on a short-term roadmap evolving quickly depending on user feedback.

  • We’re an early-stage and full remote company. This is a demanding job that requires a high degree of autonomy and the ability to work asynchronously.

    How we hire

    We ask you to send us “something interesting” via the standard application form. Here are some guidelines on what we think is interesting:

    • Please explain why you would like to join us, a resume without any explanation is rarely interesting. This is sometimes called a cover letter but just think about it as if you would send an e-mail and explain why you think we should talk. A dozen of lines are sufficient.
    • An up-to-date LinkedIn/equivalent profile or resume is needed. We need it to have a quick overview of what you’ve done.
    • Open source projects you’ve worked on.

    What we need to understand is how what you've worked on is relevant to what we’re building here at Koyeb. We don’t pay extensive attention to a standardized format and what the theory says but keep in mind that good written communication skills are crucial to working at Koyeb.

    If we believe we could work together, Richa, our people & talent manager, will reach out to schedule a first 45 minutes call to make sure this could be a match.
