- 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.
