Senior Professional Services Engineer - Japan

Remote, Japan
Our take: The real work here is standing up and migrating GitLab across clouds with infrastructure as code, advising customers, and mentoring engineers in a fully async remote team.
This is the role for an engineer who loves standing up real infrastructure with Terraform and Ansible across clouds, then guiding customers through migrations that actually stick. You will be the trusted technical voice on multiple engagements at once, mentoring newer engineers and feeding what you learn back into the product. If you thrive writing clearly, working async across time zones, and turning messy constraints into practical plans, you will feel at home here.
