We're looking for a Technical Account Manager based in North America to join our growing Customer Success team. As the deepest resource our customers have access to post-sale, you will own the technical success of a portfolio of high-value enterprise accounts, from onboarding through to long-term adoption and scale.

Requirements

  • 3+ years in a Technical Account Manager, Customer Success Architect, Solutions Architect, Solutions Engineer, or equivalent post-sale technical advisory role
  • Deep hands-on experience with CI/CD platforms — Buildkite is a strong plus; Jenkins, GitHub Actions, CircleCI, TeamCity, or similar required
  • A strong technical foundation in DevOps tooling — Terraform, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
  • Practical scripting ability in Bash, Ruby, Go, JavaScript, or Python — you’ll regularly read, write, and debug code alongside customer engineering teams, and it’s core to how you build technical credibility
  • Exceptional communication skills — ability to engage VP Engineering and CTO-level stakeholders on technical strategy, and translate that same conversation clearly for hands-on engineering teams
  • Commercial awareness — you understand how your work connects to renewal health, churn risk, and expansion, and you operate effectively alongside the people who own those outcomes
  • A high tolerance for ambiguity — you create structure and clarity in complex customer environments where ownership is unclear and the right path forward isn’t obvious
  • Experience mentoring junior colleagues and contributing to team-wide capability uplift

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation and benefits package
