About Us

Socket helps devs and security teams ship faster by cutting out security busywork. Thousands of orgs use Socket to safely find, audit, and manage open source code. Our customers - from Anthropic to xAI, and Figma to Vercel - love Socket (just check out their tweets) to see for yourself!

About the Role

You’ll own customer success post-sale for our European Customers. That means understanding how each customer wants to use Socket, helping them get there, and solving problems when things break.

This is a product-focused, technical role. You’ll spend your time learning customer environments, asking the right questions to uncover blockers, and translating product capabilities into solutions. You’re also the front line for technical support. We don’t have a separate support team. When something doesn’t work as expected, you investigate.

Technical Troubleshooting

• Investigate and resolve integration, configuration, and compatibility issues
• Respond to customer issues in dedicated Slack channels
• Use logs and telemetry to identify root causes and document fixes
• Escalate to Engineering when needed and follow through to resolution

Product Enablement

• Run discovery conversations to understand customer goals and use cases
• Translate complex product capabilities into practical, developer-friendly guidance
• Conduct architecture reviews and security posture assessments
• Deliver workshops, office hours, and deep-dives that drive adoption

Customer Advocacy

• Bring technical feedback and field intelligence back to Product and Engineering
• Surface patterns that inform roadmap priorities
• Contribute documentation and internal tooling to scale the Technical Success practice

What You’ll Bring

• 6+ years in a technical customer-facing role (Solutions Engineer, Technical Account Manager, Support Engineer, or similar)
• 2+ years of experience being the dedicated point of contact for customers with an emphasis on quarterly health checks and success

• Familiarity with APIs, webhooks, and SaaS integration patterns
• Hands-on experience with Package Managers
• Comfort troubleshooting in production environments alongside engineering teams
• Clear written and verbal communication with developers, security practitioners, and executives
• Willingness to travel for customer and company meetings as needed
