Remote, Germany

Our take: The real work here is being the trusted technical advisor who turns discovery, demos, and proofs of value into customers who adopt a DevSecOps platform at scale and become advocates.

If you love being the person a customer's technical team actually trusts, this is real solution architecture work: leading discovery, owning proofs of value, and shaping how organizations modernize their whole software delivery. You will translate deep platform detail into business value, challenge how teams work today, and carry their voice back to the people building the product. It suits someone who enjoys the mix of hands-on technical depth and genuine relationship building, and who wants to keep learning fast in a remote, cross-regional team.
