- Translate customer pain points into actionable feedback for product and engineering teams.
- Create and maintain technical enablement content including demo scripts, deployment guides, competitive notes, and FAQs.

What we’re looking for
- Startup mindset and a deep sense of ownership
- Strong technical background in modern software development
- Hands-on development experience; comfortable with Linux and AWS
- Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Must have experience working as part of an account team selling to external customers
