Our remote first company is singularly focused on this vision, and every team member directly contributes to its advancement. Every role solves a problem, and everyone can see exactly how their work helps achieve our mission.
To that end, we've carefully created a supportive, high-performance culture - the operating system of our company - that empowers our team to do the best work of their careers and achieve their personal and professional aspirations.
The company operates both open-source and commercial offerings, orchestrating mission critical workflows for Fortune 500 companies, data innovators, and rising startups. We are looking for folks who want to join a remote-first team #LI-Remote to continue building an equally amazing company, product, and developer community.
As a Solutions Engineer (EMEA / UTC ± 3), you will be a primary contact with our customers. You will own the technical relationship and be responsible for their success. You will find a balance of providing them with solutions using existing functionality and advocating on their behalf by supporting their use cases during our internal product planning sessions. You’ll unblock complex orchestration issues, ship reference implementations and best‑practice playbooks, and feed real‑world insights back to Product & Engineering. As our first Solutions Engineer in EMEA, you’ll have an opportunity to shape our international presence.
You will report to the Manager of Solutions Engineering, Rob.
