About the Role

This isn’t your typical Sales role. If you’re looking for a role where you loop in a Sales Engineer and then pass it on to CS to manage, you should stop reading now.

You'll own deals from first conversation to making the customer successful — running discovery, delivering demos, addressing technical queries, helping with instrumentation/dashboards, navigating security/finance/legal evaluations.


We're looking for someone who is:

  • Technical enough to help customers with observability - you'll work directly with customer engineering teams to design their OpenTelemetry instrumentation strategy, customize dashboards, and optimize for their specific use cases.

  • Product-minded to feed intelligence back to teams - you'll identify patterns in customer engagements and work with product teams to build better defaults, templates, and tooling.

  • Someone who can scale Sales/CS function - you will build the foundation for Sales/CS function and grow into leadership as we scale.

Who would be a good fit

  • 2-6 years experience in customer-facing technical role - Sales Engineer, Solutions Architects, Technical Account Manager, Technical Customer Success Manager or similar.

  • Good understanding of modern technical systems - Cloud providers (AWS/GCP/Azure), Containers, Kubernetes and similar.

  • Good understanding of observability platforms - SigNoz, Grafana/Prometheus, DataDog, or similar platforms

  • Excellent written and verbal communication - can speak and write in a clear and actionable way to deliver clarity to both customers and internal teams.

Who may not be a good fit

  • People who prefer taking someone with you to every customer meeting.

  • People who struggle with technical writing or documentation

SigNoz: Open source observability platform providing APM, tracing, metrics, logs management, and alerts. Built with ClickHouse, it offers vendor lock-in free telemetry solutions with OpenTelemetry for increased developer productivity.
