About the role

You'll own the technical journey from a team's first evaluation to running mission-critical workloads in production. You’ll work side-by-side with customer engineers to solve hard infrastructure problems, build production applications, design distributed systems, debug Kubernetes deployments, and troubleshoot complex production environments,
