## About the role

Our largest customers run CI/CD at frontier scale. AI is driving their build and test workloads up sharply, and more of these large, established companies want a partner to come in and build alongside them so they can grow and scale even faster. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## 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
