About Traversal

Traversal is the AI SRE that triages alerts, finds root cause, and resolves incidents at petabyte scale. Trusted by American Express, PepsiCo, and DigitalOcean. Backed by Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia.

About the role

As an AI Adoption Engineer you are a technically fluent, commercially aware practitioner who moves a customer through four adoption phases — Activation, Scaling, Optimization, and Value Realization — and owns the outcome at each step. You will run enablement sessions, debug accuracy failures, engineer custom prompts, drive quarterly business reviews, gather product feedback, drive product changes, and surface expansion opportunities.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years in a technical customer-facing role: solutions engineering, solutions architecture, technical account management, or customer success engineering at an enterprise software or infrastructure company
  • Demonstrated ability to run executive-level conversations and engineer-level conversations in the same week with the same customer. You adjust without losing credibility at either level
  • Experience driving adoption of a technical product with a complex, multi-stakeholder customer — not just managing the relationship, but actively changing how people work
  • Strong written communication. Your monthly leadership updates, enablement decks, and QBR narratives will be the customer’s primary record of why Traversal is worth renewing
  • Comfort with ambiguity and a builder’s instinct — this is an early-stage role, the playbook exists but you will extend it
More about this role

Traversal is the AI Site Reliability Engineer (AI SRE) for the enterprise.

Production complexity was already outpacing what engineering teams could manage manually, and AI-generated code is accelerating that gap. Traversal is built for that challenge, autonomously understanding and reasoning across even the largest, most complex production environments to diagnose, fix, and prevent incidents. Our mission is to free engineers from endless firefighting and give them more time to focus on creative, high-impact work.

Today, Traversal operates in mission-critical environments at some of the world’s largest enterprises. Our roots remain deeply embedded in AI research, and we’ve brought together researchers from institutions including MIT, Harvard, Berkeley, Columbia, and Cornell with world-class technical staff and operators from companies like Google, Meta, Datadog, ServiceNow, and Citadel Securities to take on one of the hardest problems for AI to solve. Traversal is backed by Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Hanabi, NFDG, and American Express Ventures.
