• Working on both hybrid and native cloud solutions across a broad range of cloud infrastructure.

Working directly with both customer and engineering leaders alike, this technical role presents a robust opportunity to have a tangible impact on our cloud products and strategy, as well as fuel our customers’ success.  Intentional collaboration is a must in this role.  This role will be based in Redmond with travel required around 25%.
