render - Customer Engineer
Requirements
• 3+ years in a customer-facing technical role: customer engineering, solutions engineering, technical support, or developer relations. • Comfort operating a high-volume, one-to-many motion; you can independently execute clearly scoped programs and build systems and content rather than relying on 1:1 time. • Strong fundamentals across cloud infrastructure: containers, deploys, autoscaling, networking, and CI/CD. • Working knowledge of Postgres and common database migration patterns (Heroku, AWS RDS). • AI fluency: you use AI tools daily in your own workflow, and you're comfortable advising customers building AI-native and LLM-powered applications. • Strong written communication; you'll be a primary producer of docs, playbooks, and in-app content. • Data-driven, able to prioritize work against team goals, and comfortable asking for context or support when ambiguity could affect the outcome. • Experience with Intercom or a similar in-app engagement and messaging platform. • Experience building internal or customer-facing tools that scale a team's impact beyond 1:1 work. • Experience in a PLG or high-volume account environment. • Prior experience with Heroku or other cloud migrations. • If this role excites you but you don’t meet every single requirement, we’d still love to hear from you—your unique experience might be just what we need.
Responsibilities
• Partner with Scaled AMs and Field Engineering teammates to turn expansion and churn signals (bandwidth, egress, usage patterns) into plays: AM talking points, programmatic outreach, and in-app prompts. • Operate startup program onboarding: Intercom checklists, guided flows, and activation follow-up for high-growth AI startups. • Partner with Support Engineering to identify recurring mistakes and best practices, then turn those insights into programs and content that reduce customer friction. • Build and improve components of our scaled-engagement toolkit: in-app programs, outbound triggers, pricing and sizing calculators (e.g., Heroku and AWS RDS migrations to Postgres), POC templates, and reusable technical enablement. • Run scaled customer programs: webinars, Slack community touchpoints, and pattern-based outreach across account cohorts, partnered with Scaled AMs. • Translate recurring customer questions and technical best practices into timely in-product guidance and self-service content. • Maintain activity tracking and feature-request data hygiene so reliable customer signals flow to the rest of Field Engineering and Product.
