The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client.

- Lead the technical side of customer onboarding, including connectivity, permissions, data import, field mapping, workflow setup, testing and go-live.
- Own deployments in production, diagnosing support issues to root cause rather than applying workarounds.
- Build monitoring and alerting that surfaces problems before customers notice them.
- Gather evidence across customer accounts about product gaps and present clear cases to the product engineering team.
What we're looking for
- Track record of leading technical working sessions directly with customers.
- Experience supporting important accounts at high-growth B2B startups.
- Prior work in a customer-facing engineering function such as implementation, solutions or integrations.
