Modernization Solution Engineer/Architect
Background
Per Gartner, by 2026 80% of Technical Debt will be Architectural Technical Debt and the only way to address it is with tools that are able to measure, identify, and fix it on an ongoing basis.
vFunction is pioneering the architectural observability market.
Architecture Observability enables architects to see and understand the internal software architecture of Java and dotnet applications.
Observing software architecture enables architects to create an incremental plan to modernize applications, to protect against architectural drift and accumulated complexity all the way to fully transforming monoliths into microservices.
Most importantly, vFunction’s platform enables Enterprise Architects to fully own the level of technical debt in their applications and to present the business owners with the entire posture of the application portfolio.
vFunction customers include the largest banks in the world, automobile companies, software companies, and more (Trend Micro Case Study).
We are well funded, investors include Engineering Capital, Zeev Ventures, HPE, WIPRO, Khosla, Shasta Ventures, Citi, and more.
We are a remote-first company, HQed in Palo Alto with distributed team around the USA, UK, and Israel.
