About the role
Join our growing Customer Success Engineering organization as a Senior Technical Engagement Manager, leading a pod responsible for high-stakes engagements alongside our Forward Deployed Engineers. In this role, you'll drive strategic projects with customers as they implement our Agentic Data Plane. Working with large enterprises, you'll be responsible for scoping, planning, and executing multi-phase engagements aligned to business outcomes. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years in engagement management, delivery leadership, or technical program/project management on complex enterprise technology deployments, ideally at a systems integrator (e.g., Deloitte, Capgemini, Accenture) or an enterprise software vendor
- Certifications: PMP or Scrum
- Proven experience as a PM for engineering or services teams focused on agile delivery
- Experience running formal risk and issue governance — risk registers, RAID logs, steering committees — with real influence over decisions
- Comfort operating in politically complex stakeholder environments, with the seniority to escalate to and negotiate with customer and internal executives
- Technical fluency in distributed systems, streaming, or data infrastructure (e.g., Kafka, Redpanda) sufficient to understand delivery and technical risk, without needing to write the code yourself
More about this role
Redpanda is the first runtime and control plane for agent-data interaction — a unified platform that combines streaming, SQL analytics, and intelligent connectivity with the governance layer enterprise AI agents need in production.
Built on infrastructure already trusted by Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing startups, Redpanda enforces governance entirely outside the agent's data path, controlling what agents see, limiting what they do, and capturing a tamper-proof record of everything they touch, so organizations never have to choose between innovation and control.
