• Serve as the voice of the customer with Product Management, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing by providing feedback, use cases, and competitive insights that inform roadmap priorities and strengthen market positioning.
• Maintain and extend your technical expertise in GitLab, DevSecOps, AI, and related cloud technologies, creating reusable examples, best practice guidance, and technical collateral that improve customer and partner enablement at scale.
• Invest in your own growth and development through ongoing learning, mentorship, and knowledge exchange to continuously improve team effectiveness and the impact of the Solutions Architect function.
