Job Requirements
- Has 8+ years in a post-sales technical role—Customer Engineer, Technical Account Manager, Solutions Architect (post-sales), or Customer Success Engineer—at a cloud infrastructure, developer tools, or SaaS company

- Has demonstrated experience working with AI-native or AI-adjacent companies, with familiarity in LLM API integration patterns, vector search, and the infrastructure requirements of production AI applications
- Has proven commercial acumen: identifying expansion opportunities, contributing to renewal and upsell motions, and tracking account health metrics including NRR and time-to-value
- Is an exceptional communicator—can explain a complex infrastructure tradeoff to a CTO and send a clear Slack message to a developer debugging a deployment with equal ease
