About Varnish Software
Varnish Software is redefining how the world’s leading organizations build resilient, high-performance delivery platforms. We empower businesses to secure and accelerate their CI/CD pipelines by caching and validating software dependencies, integrating platform engineering best practices and robust supply chain security directly into their infrastructure. While our core technology remains the industry standard for lightning-fast web and streaming, we are expanding into helping customers build, secure, and scale their development ecosystems with confidence.
To help us support our customers in developing and implementing solutions for their biggest challenges, we are looking for customer-facing engineers who can deliver either remote or onsite customer Varnish projects.
About the Role
As a Solutions Engineer for Platform Engineering Acceleration (PEA) at Varnish, you will:
- Consult with customers on modernizing their delivery pipelines, focusing on platform engineering best practices and software supply chain security integrations.
- Be a Varnish technical specialist/expert.
- In collaboration with our sales teams, help identify, qualify and align prospects’ technical needs to Varnish’s business solutions.
- Increase win rate in technically complex deals.
- Use this knowledge to deliver custom implementation projects such as onboarding, monitoring, high availability, integration and development.
- Travel frequently to meet and work with customers, some of which are the biggest brands within their markets (with flexibility depending on location and project needs).
- Work directly with our Engineering teams to come up with solutions to meet new requirements.
- Have a significant impact on technical and architectural decisions for some of our customers.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Expertise in platform engineering, CI/CD automation, and software supply chain security tools and concepts.
- Demonstrate strong Linux or Unix background, preferably in a hyperscale, or telco environment.
- Proven experience in a customer-facing technical role, such as Solutions Engineering, Technical Account Management, Technical Support, or Pre-Sales, where explaining technical concepts and architectural trade-offs was part of the job.
- A superb communication skill set is desired; must be able to convey Varnish’s technical capabilities (written/spoken) to both business and technical decision makers.
- Adaptable to new technological trends.
- Fluent in both written and spoken English.
It's a bonus, but not a requirement, if you can demonstrate the following:
