Responsibilities
- Own a portfolio of enterprise customers end-to-end — adoption, retention, expansion, and overall health
- Build deep relationships with technical and executive stakeholders at each customer, from ML engineers to engineering leadership
- Drive customer outcomes: faster time-to-value on first workloads, smooth scaling as their usage grows, and meaningful expansion as their AI ambitions expand
- Understand each customer's training and inference workloads at a real technical level — what models they're training, what infrastructure they need, what their performance bottlenecks are
- Partner with customers' engineering teams on cluster performance, capacity planning, workload optimization, and migration
- Translate customer needs into clear, prioritized feedback for our Engineering and Product teams
- Identify expansion opportunities ahead of the customer — anticipate scaling needs, surface new use cases, drive adoption of new products (Lab, Inference, additional compute capacity)
- Partner with Sales on renewal conversations and growth motions
- Maintain visibility into the economics of each customer relationship, in partnership with Finance and Compute
- Serve as the first line for customer-facing operational issues — usage questions, capacity changes, SLA tracking, incident communications
- Build the cross-functional connective tissue between Sales, Engineering, Finance, and customers
Qualifications
- 3–6 years in Customer Success, Technical Account Management, Solutions Engineering, or adjacent roles at infrastructure, cloud, or AI/ML companies
- Strong technical fluency — comfortable reading dashboards, discussing infrastructure architecture, and engaging with customer engineering teams without a translator
- Strong commercial instincts — you understand that Customer Success is a revenue function, not a support function, and you can drive real expansion alongside technical outcomes
- Deep customer empathy combined with high judgment — you advocate for customers internally while making the calls that are right for the business
- Excellent verbal and written communication, especially when explaining complex technical issues to non-technical stakeholders and vice versa
- High ownership — you see gaps and build the fix before anyone asks
- Comfortable in ambiguity and speed; this market doesn't slow down
- AI-native in how you work: you use LLMs, automation, and programmatic tools to move faster
