  • Partner with Sales Engineering, Account Executives, Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and Professional Services on pursuits, escalations, roadmap feedback, and customer delivery
  • Share field learnings with Product and Engineering to improve the platform and strengthen how the FDE organization operates
What You'll Bring
  • 8-12+ years of experience in technical, customer-facing delivery roles, such as forward-deployed engineering, solutions engineering, platform engineering, or technical consulting
  • Experience managing engineers or technical delivery teams, including hiring, coaching, performance management, and career development
  • Strong program and delivery management skills, with experience managing multiple customer accounts, timelines, risks, and priorities at once
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to set expectations and build trust with executives, business leaders, engineers, and internal teams
  • Technical depth in deployment and infrastructure, including Kubernetes, containers, Linux, cloud platforms, and hybrid environments
  • Ability to review technical architecture, understand systems and code, challenge assumptions, and help teams make strong technical decisions
  • Experience leading customer escalations with clarity, calm, and accountability
  • Experience using AI-native tools, automation, and modern engineering workflows to improve delivery and team effectiveness
  • Working knowledge of data security, privacy, governance, or regulatory topics across enterprise environments
  • A high-ownership mindset, with the ability to build trust, create structure, and drive outcomes across people, programs, and customers
Bonus Skills
