Oxide Computer Company
Cloud computing has transformed the commercial sector, but in the U.S. Government -particularly the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) -mission workloads demand secure, sovereign, and on-premises solutions that hyperscalerental models cannot deliver.
Oxide has built the first vertically integrated, rack-level cloud computer, deliveringthe automation, developer experience, and efficiency of the public cloud in a formfactor designed for classified, tactical, and mission-critical environments.
We are seeking a Solutions Architect to partner with our Federal sales and productteams, acting as both trusted sales engineer and enterprise architect. You will be atthe front line of Oxide’s Federal expansion - shaping architectures, driving technicalwins, and enabling deployment of Oxide systems across the DoD and IC.
Serve as the trusted technical advisor in senior executive conversations, engagingmission owners, program managers, and enterprise architects.
Develop and own Oxide technical thought leadership. Lead architecture sessions,workshops, proof-of-concepts, and pilot deployments within classified and tacticalenvironments.
Guide customers journey from legacy cloud and on-prem infrastructure - through VMwareexits, cloud repatriation, hybrid deployments, and AI/ML workload enablement in secureenclaves.
Support the Authority to Operate (ATO) process by delivering security artifacts,architecture diagrams, and compliance mappings (NIST 800-53, FedRAMP High, DoDIL4/IL5/IL6, IC standards).
Partner with Defense Primes, integrators, and mission programs to embed Oxide intolarger system-of-systems solutions.
Own the technical response to RFPs, RFIs, and BAAs, ensuring Oxide’s differentiateddesign is clearly articulated.
Provide mission feedback to Oxide engineering, influencing platform roadmap prioritiesfor air-gapped, tactical edge, and multi-domain operations.
Build repeatable playbooks, reference architectures, and compliance packages thataccelerate adoption across multiple agencies.
Hold U.S. Citizenship and an active TS/SCI security clearance (required). Polygraphpreferred or willingness to obtain.
Have 8+ years in Solution Architect, Enterprise Architect, or Pre-Sales Engineeringroles at infrastructure, cloud, or systems vendors.
Possess deep knowledge of modern datacenter and cloud architectures (compute, storage,networking, security, virtualization).
Have hands-on experience in secure/classified environments: architecting and executingmigrations, standing up new enclaves, or supporting tactical deployments.
Understand mission-specific requirements including air-gapped operations, cross-domainsolutions, and resiliency under contested conditions.
Are fluent in compliance frameworks: DoD STIGs, NIST 800-53, FedRAMP High, DoD IL4–IL6,ICD 503.
Can confidently engage with senior decision-makers across the DoD/IC and build trustedrelationships as a peer, not just a vendor.
Are comfortable working in startup/scale-up environments, balancing execution withentrepreneurial problem solving.
Don’t mind coworkers getting really excited about decades-old computers.
Listen to (or watch!) Uncrating the Oxide Rack on the Software Misadventures Podcast to learn about our perspective on go-to-market (and to see the crate!).
Listen to (or watch!) Inside Oxide on Changelog & Friends to learn about the current expansion of the company and team.
RTO or GTFO on our perspective on the rash of RTO mandates.
We are very explicit about our values , and they can be seen in daily life at Oxide, for example:
Our rigor is reflected in the quality of our customer engagements; ensuring the capabilities of our products and the needs of our customers are well matched.
Our transparency can be seen in how we document and communicate our product capabilities with our customers.
Our responsibility means that we are accountable for all aspects of making our customers successful; whether that is mapping out a new project or shepherding a support ticket through to a positive resolution.
Our curiosity drives our desire to learn everything we can about our customers and the market dynamics of the industries they operate in.
Our humor is a big part of our daily lives: we are inveterate wise-crackers whose video meetings spill into simultaneous text chat.
Working at Oxide Remote first Most of our team are based outside of the Bay Area. We do ask that your workday overlaps with Pacific Time for at least four hours.
Our families and lives outside of our jobs are very important to us; our schedules are flexible to reflect and support that.
We offer the best medical PPO, dental, and vision plans we can find and cover 100% of premiums for employees and dependents.
This role consists of base salary + commission. Other roles at Oxide make $235,000 USD with no commission component regardless of location.
