Our take: The real work here is being the trusted technical advisor who runs the demos, proofs of value, and workshops that turn a complex DevSecOps platform into a customer's yes.

If you love being the technical person a customer actually trusts, this role hands you real ownership of proofs of value, workshops, and solution design across Northern Europe. You get to translate a complex DevSecOps platform for everyone from engineers to executives, then carry their real needs back to the people building the product. It suits someone who is energised by deep customer relationships, comfortable challenging tired thinking, and always hungry to learn the next thing.
