  • Collaborate with our pre and post-sales teams to ensure cross-functional alignment and customer satisfaction
  • Enthusiastically participate in ongoing personal learning including active participation in team training and development. 
  • Escalate and manage escalated issues with Engineering to ensure good outcomes for our customers

Some of the things we look for:

  • Docker and Kubernetes
  • Cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Security
    • Authentication (LDAP, OAuth2.0)
