Requirements

• 1–3 years of experience in a customer-facing role (customer success, technical support, account management, or similar).
• Experience using AI tools in your day-to-day workflows.(Claude, OpenAI, Manus, Perplexity)
• Experience using Salesforce and Jira
• Genuine interest in technology and software development workflows — you don't need to be a developer, but you need to be comfortable in technical conversations.
• Familiarity with CI/CD concepts and tools such as Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or GitHub Actions is a strong asset.
• Basic exposure to cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) and/or APIs and system integrations.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills — you can explain things clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong organizational habits and follow-through; you manage your own workload without dropping the ball.
• A customer-first mindset and genuine enjoyment of helping people solve problems.

Nice To Haves

• You may be early in your career, but you bring real curiosity about technology — you're comfortable in technical conversations and you're not afraid to dig into a problem to find the answer.
• You've worked in a customer-facing role before, even if briefly, and you understand what it means to be someone's go-to person when things aren't working.
• You're a clear communicator, patient, and organized — the kind of person who follows up, keeps notes, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.
• You have some familiarity with developer tools and CI/CD concepts — maybe you've worked with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps, or you've supported teams that do.
• You don't need to be a seasoned engineer, but you're comfortable asking good technical questions, understanding what you're hearing, and escalating with context when needed.
• You're a quick learner who's eager to build your knowledge of open source security and enterprise software workflows.
• If you're looking for a role where you can grow your technical depth, build real relationships with interesting customers, and have a visible impact at a company doing meaningful work — this is the right place to start.
