As a Customer Engineering Lead, you’ll manage the customer-facing arm of our engineering org. Working with our existing solutions team, you’ll coordinate process and policies with the post-sales org, spanning implementations, partner success, and account management. We’re looking for a player-coach: you’ll need to get your hands dirty on the frontlines to understand where the gaps and inefficiencies are. Armed with that experience, you’ll grow this function to meet the needs of our global, always-on customer base.
Hands-on from day one: answer technical support tickets, debug partner integrations, and work directly with partners to resolve issues

Define and maintain customer engineering artifacts such as documentation, guides, runbooks, and recipes
Help establish the operating model and collaboration framework between product and post-sales to ensure tickets are resolved within SLAs and gaps are covered
Partner with platform and product to translate patterns from support tickets, implementation friction, and feature requests into actionable product insights
5+ years of experience in solutions engineering, forward-deployed engineering, or a related technical partner-facing role, with at least 3 years in a leadership capacity

An engineer by trade: you’re comfortable reading and contributing to an enterprise codebase while meeting a high bar of technical excellence

Experience defining and implementing SLAs and escalation processes, especially cross-functionally to and from engineering teams
Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where you'll need to balance building for scale with solving immediate partner needs
You lead with empathy and understand that great customer engineering is a competitive advantage
