The fastest CI for AI workflows at scale nothing else survives. Leading software teams across industries have standardized on Buildkite for CI and orchestration. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role

What they're looking for
- Turn true gaps into defined engagements: a clear deliverable, an estimate, and exit criteria that the customer and Buildkite both sign off on, then keep the work inside that scope as new asks come up
- Help Solutions Architects and Account Executives recognize FDE opportunities in their deals and explain what FDE is (and isn't) in plain terms, especially as we build the role together through iteration on engagements
