    Technical Account ManagerCustomer SuccessCI/CDDevOpsRemote

    Requirements

    • 3+ years in a Technical Account Manager, Customer Success Architect, Solutions Architect, Solutions Engineer, or equivalent post-sale technical advisory role
    • Deep hands-on experience with CI/CD platforms — Buildkite is a strong plus; Jenkins, GitHub Actions, CircleCI, TeamCity, or similar required
    • A strong technical foundation in DevOps tooling — Terraform, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
    • Practical scripting ability in Bash, Ruby, Go, JavaScript, or Python
    • Exceptional communication skills — ability to engage VP Engineering and CTO-level stakeholders on technical strategy, and translate that same conversation clearly for hands-on engineering teams
    • Commercial awareness — you understand how your work connects to renewal health, churn risk, and expansion, and you operate effectively alongside the people who own those outcomes
    • A high tolerance for ambiguity — you create structure and clarity in complex customer environments where ownership is unclear and the right path forward isn’t obvious
    • Experience mentoring junior colleagues and contributing to team-wide capability uplift

    What You'll Do

    • Serve as the primary technical point of contact post-sale across a portfolio of high-value enterprise customers, from pre-sales handover through the full lifecycle
    • Lead onboarding, guide integration architecture, and drive deep Buildkite adoption across complex engineering environments
    • Conduct delivery reviews and executive briefings with VP Engineering and CTO-level stakeholders, translating platform findings into strategic business context
    • Proactively identify technical risks, blockers, and expansion opportunities across your portfolio and surface them to the right teams
    • Work alongside AEs and CSMs to provide the technical credibility that supports renewals and expansion — contributing context and risk assessment without holding commercial ownership
    • Advocate for customers internally, translating portfolio-wide patterns into concrete product feedback and roadmap input
    • Build and contribute to technical playbooks and onboarding frameworks, and mentor junior TAMs to raise the bar across the team

    Nice to Have

    • Mobile CI/CD experience — iOS and Android build pipelines including Xcode, Fastlane, and Gradle
    • Experience with large-scale monorepo architectures or complex multi-team pipeline configurations
    • Prior experience in a high-growth SaaS or developer tools company
    • Familiarity with AI-assisted development tooling and how engineering teams are integrating AI into their build and delivery workflows

    Benefits

    • Remote-first culture and support for work-life balance
    • Competitive compensation and benefits package
    • Meaningful work alongside some of the most innovative engineering teams in tech
    • Opportunities for professional growth, learning, and career development
    • A supportive, collaborative team culture where your ideas and expertise matter
