Remote, United States
Our take: The real work here is parachuting into strategic customer crises, diagnosing them across code, infrastructure and AI governance, and turning the fix into durable product improvements and reusable patterns.
If you are a Staff-level engineer who wants to fix the hardest customer problems by actually writing the code, not just filing tickets, this is that role. You will parachute into strategic accounts where adoption is stuck, diagnose the real issue across Git internals, CI/CD and AI governance, then turn what you learn into durable product improvements and reusable guidance. It suits someone who reads traces and writes whitepapers with equal comfort and who likes leaving customers stable without leaving a permanent crutch.
