About the role
- This isn't a professional services hire.
- Coder is self-deployed into customer environments.
- That means every implementation carries real production weight from day one.
Responsibilities
- The build. Discovery, technical scoping, solution design, hands-on implementation, and early production rollout on lighthouse accounts. You write the workflows, integrations, and glue code yourself when that's what removes the blocker.
- The exit. Every engagement is time-boxed with defined exit criteria from day one. You decide the handoff path before the build starts, not after the pilot ends. This is not a permanent delivery function.
- The judgment calls. Deciding when a use case is genuinely ready for production versus when the economics, data readiness, or sponsorship don't support continued investment. Saying no to the wrong engagement is as much the job as saying yes to the right one.
Requirements
- You have enough technical depth to engage credibly with cloud-native platforms, developer workflows, and AI-enabled development practices.
- Experience in regulated or large enterprise environments
- A track record of introducing new operating models into post-sales or GTM teams
- You are the founding hire for this function.
Skills
- Cloud implementation depth. Real production infrastructure work, not adjacent exposure to it.
- Coder is an AI software development company leading the future of autonomous coding.
- Our self-hosted AI Development Environment is the foundation for deploying agentic AI in the enterprise.
- Coder's isolated, policy-driven environments improve productivity, cut cloud costs, and reduce data risks.
- Using AI tooling for take-home assessments.
- Please flag where and to what extent it was used in your take-home.
- Your submission will not be penalized for using AI as long as it is done honestly.
Benefits
- Win, Onboard, Health/Get-Well, and Long-Term Partnership.
