Deployed Engineers (DEs) are customer-facing technical experts who help our customers maximize the value they get out of our products. You’ll work directly with engineers to understand their workflows, identify high-impact use cases, and deploy our products into real production environments. You’ll lead demos and pilots, support integrations, and drive adoption of our platform from the inside out. This role combines hands-on technical work, customer partnership, and rapid execution. You'll serve a broad range of clients, switching context frequently and staying ahead of issues before they become blockers.
