If you want to have a greater impact in the open-source ecosystem by enabling our customers to build better software faster - then you should keep reading. We are adding more Customer Success Engineers (CSE) to ensure our customers continuously see value across the Sonatype Nexus Platform.

Why this role matters
Our users are software developers, security officers, and DevOps managers. We offer them subscriptions to valuable software that works. As long as our customers value their investment, they will continue to renew and expand their deployments.

Fortunately, our customers trust Sonatype and value their investments. This is proven by our 90%+ renewal rate -- one of the highest renewal rates in the software subscription business. We are also proud of receiving a coveted 2021 Gainsight GameChanger award for our outstanding customer service. But we choose not to rest on our laurels. If our customers are not optimised, adequately deployed, or have compromised rollouts due to their lack of time, technical know-how/resources, or understanding of best practices - it will inhibit our mutual ability to achieve success. That is why this role is so meaningful.

What are CSEs do

  • Mentor and educate customers on implementation and usage best practices for the Sonatype Nexus Platform to ensure smooth onboarding, faster adoption, and increased footprint.
  • Discover and analyse gaps in the customer experience, identifying early warning signals and working with multi-functional teams to address them.
  • Act as the voice of the customer - using your insights to help us drive improvements, influence product roadmap, and deploy customer advocacy programs.
  • Ensure customers are SUCCESSFUL and DELIGHTED with Sonatype products and services, not merely satisfied.

What we are looking for

  • Our CSEs come from many different backgrounds, including DevOps Engineers, Software Engineers, Quality Engineers, and Solutions Architects. While the paths are different, they all share the following:
  • Broad knowledge of current SDLC and the tooling that development organisations use to build applications
  • Well-honed project management and interpersonal skills
  • Desire to build long-term relationships and help our customers be successful.
  • Ability to travel. Although this position is a 100% remote role, we expect that travel to customer locations will be 15-20%.
  • Must currently reside in Australia and be authorized to work without sponsorship. 

Things that we are proud of

  • 2023 Fast Company Best Places for Innovators
  • 2023 Leader in Forrester-Wave for Software Compensation Analysis
  • 2023 Gartner's Magic Quadrant
  • 2023 Software Report's Top 100 Software Companies
  • 2023 BuiltIn Best Places to Work
  • 2022 Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation Leader Award
  • 2022 PeerSpot Silver Peer Award in Software Composition Analysis
  • 2022 Tech Ascension Best DevOps Security Solution Award
  • 2022 NVCT Cyber Company of the Year
  • Company Wellness Week - We shut down company operations for a week to enable all employees to spend time pursuing personal growth and enjoying much needed and deserved rest.
  • Diversity & Inclusion Working Groups
  • Parental Leave Policy
  • Paid Volunteer Time Off (VTO)

At Sonatype, we value diversity and inclusivity. We offer perks such as parental leave, diversity and inclusion working groups, and flexible working practices to allow our employees to show up as their whole selves. We are an equal-opportunity employer, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. If you have a disability or special need that requires accommodation, please do not hesitate to let us know.
