• Work in mission-critical and high-security environments, including developer workflows, AI tooling, and complex or constrained setups
• Help customers connect our platform to outcomes that matter, including developer productivity, secure software delivery, and mission velocity
• Deliver technical presentations, whiteboards, and workshops for technical and executive audiences
• Act as the customer's technical advocate with Product and Engineering, and partner with post-sales on clean handoffs and onboarding
