Job description

Our mission is to automate coding. The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering. Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truth‑seeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.

• Drive joint go‑to‑market plans with Sales, Solutions, and Marketing, spanning field enablement, positioning, and demand generation
• Partner with Solutions, Product, and Engineering to identify repeatable use cases and scalable delivery patterns
• Work closely with Security, Legal, and Commercial teams to establish trust and compliance frameworks for partner‑led work
• Enable GSI partners to build deep expertise across advisory, implementation, and managed services
• Monitor performance against clear metrics, resolve execution bottlenecks, and drive continuous improvement

What You'll Bring

• Significant experience leading strategic GSI, alliance, or channel partnerships in enterprise software, cloud, consulting, or AI
• Deep understanding of how GSIs operate across enterprise customers and delivery organizations
• A track record of scaling partnerships from early strategy through field activation and measurable business impact
• Strong technical and product fluency, with the ability to partner effectively with Solutions, Product, and Engineering without being the hands‑on implementer
• Experience navigating enterprise security, privacy, governance, and commercial frameworks
• Exceptional cross‑functional leadership and executive presence, with comfort operating in ambiguous, fast‑moving environmentsStrong communicator, comfortable producing decision‑ready memos and executive updates
