- Listen and respond; build and advise on the best technical choices for our partners.
- Onboard new partners, training them on Pulumi best practices and advising on migrations from other infrastructure tools.
- Close the loop between partners, product, and engineering teams, championing the product to partners and bringing their requirements to the Pulumi roadmap.
- Be challenged, solve new problems, teach about our technologies, and figure out new, better ways to delight our customers.
- Bring Pulumi to more users by building demos and tech talks and writing technical blog posts to highlight partner integrations and solutions.
To Be Successful In This Role, You Have:
- 6+ years of experience in DevOps, Solutions Architecture, Consulting, or similar customer or partner-facing roles.
- A commitment to user experience, partner optimization, and successful implementation of new products and integrations.
- Deep familiarity with core web infrastructure, Open Source technologies, and public cloud platforms.
- Experience with Pulumi, Terraform, CloudFormation, and/or similar technologies.
- Experience with at least one of the following languages: TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, C#, Go, or Java.
