About The Position

In this role, you’ll define how we tell Traversal’s story, shape our positioning, and drive go-to-market execution as we bring our agentic observability platform out of stealth. This is a rare opportunity to join during a foundational stage of growth, where you’ll have an outsized impact on how customers experience and understand Traversal. You’ll work cross-functionally with product, engineering, and sales teams to translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with SREs, platform teams, and engineering leaders. You’ll work closely with our CEO and BizOps lead to translate learnings from founder-led sales into a repeatable playbook as we build out our sales function. You’ll create technical marketing content, drive customer and competitive research, and build early sales enablement programs to support our market expansion. If you thrive in high-ownership, high-velocity environments—and are excited to help define how AI-native infrastructure products come to market—we’d love to meet you.
