As a Customer Success Engineer, APJ, you'll expand your impact by partnering with GitLab's customers across APJ to help them get measurable value from GitLab through technical guidance and proactive enablement. This role is ideal for a developer or systems engineer looking to transition into customer success while leveraging your deep technical expertise in DevSecOps and cloud technologies. You'll serve as a trusted technical advisor, partnering with customers over Zoom and email to improve adoption, and apply DevSecOps best practices across the software delivery lifecycle. Working closely with Account Executives and Renewals Managers, you'll align technical recommendations to customer goals and help support renewals and expansion by demonstrating outcomes. You'll also contribute back to the broader GitLab team by sharing learnings through documentation and enablement content, while mentoring colleagues and customers through complex technical challenges. This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems, communicating clearly, and thriving in a remote, asynchronous environment—and is eager to grow, with strong mentorship and support from a collaborative team, into customer-facing technical leadership.
