About the role

We are seeking a Customer Engineer who will be the technical face of Teleskope to our customers. You’ll operate across pre- and post-sales, sit between GTM and Engineering, support and own customer deployments, and manage the technical post-sales lifecycle. The role requires hands-on engineering: writing bespoke integrations/automations, fixing customer-specific issues, and delivering production-ready technical solutions.

What you’ll do

• Lead technical onboarding and integration for customers in partnership with a Forward Deployed SRE — design, provision, and validate production deployments.

• Support technically complex use cases by developing scripts, automation, and custom integrations; triage and resolve operational issues in customer environments.

• Own accounts and customer success from conversion to renewal, and partner with go-to-market to identify expansion and upsell opportunities.

• Diagnose, triage, and implement fixes for customer-specific bugs; author reproducible fixes, tests, and PRs or produce clear remediation documentation when immediate code changes aren’t appropriate.

• Conduct architecture reviews, technical deep dives, enablement sessions, and solution reviews for a range of personas — from individual contributors to senior security and engineering leadership.

• Help drive the product roadmap by bringing the voice of the customer into planning meetings, prioritizing issues, and championing high-value feature requests to the Product team.

• Produce clear technical documentation, runbooks, and handoffs for customers and internal teams.

About you

• 3+ years supporting enterprise customers in a hands-on technical role (Customer Engineer, Software Engineer, Technical Consultant, Technical Account Manager, or similar).

• Proven ability to read, modify, and contribute to codebases and deployment automation. Comfortable shipping small fixes and end-to-end customer solutions.

• Experience with cloud technologies and deployment tooling (AWS/GCP/Azure, Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD).

• Practical scripting and programming skills (e.g., Python, Bash; experience with Golang/TypeScript is a plus).

• Experience mapping customer environments and discovering technical, security, and process requirements.

• Excellent communication skills and a consultative mindset — able to explain technical tradeoffs to both engineers and functional stakeholders.

• BS/BA in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

• Must be based in NYC (we work hybrid, in-office Tue/Wed/Thu).

What you'll get

• An opportunity to join an early-stage startup in one of today’s fastest-growing markets.

• Huge opportunity to impact Teleskope's growth and success in the market.

• Room to learn, grow, and rapidly advance in your career as part of a growing team.

• A beautiful office in NYC’s Financial District, with breakfast and snacks provided daily, and weekly catered lunch.

• Flexible vacation and work-from-home days.

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity.

• Health, vision, dental, 401k and more benefits, heavily subsidized by Teleskope.
