  • Collaborate successfully with cross functional partners including product, support and GTM
  • Assist the GTM org in landing and serving our biggest customers
    Partner with product on delivering solutions to our customers that keep DISCO ahead of our competitors

  • Has a strong sense of ownership and accountability
  • Is enthusiastic about diving into the code and getting your hands dirty when needed
  • Has strong technical mastery in software engineering but remains curious and committed to learning and improving their craft
